Does anyone feel sometimes after taking a few tramadols like you are on speed? That happened to me today, I was tired and was going to lay down and took a few of my tramadols and started cleaning and stuff. Weird.

With Steve I get it the next day usps, you can call the post office and ask them to hold it and pick it up cod or just wait for them to deliver to your house and you give them the money order

@ Jason- Do you know if there a choice of shipping, or does it depend on the state or the pharmacy ?

Steve can be reached by phone and he will take cod or credit card. cod is cash on delivery. FedEx will only take a money order. USPS will take cash. FedEx can be held at the station but USPS is usually unreliable on delivery status. USPS will not redeliver if you aren't home. You have to go to the post office and can pay cash there. COD is nice because it doesn't place a hold on any money so if it doesn't work out you have money to order elsewhere

How does COD work- I never tried that. Do they hold it at the PO, or do you have to wait for Mr. Mailman ? ( I sure miss Fedex)

I heard someone say earlier that they were screwed by Rich. He doesn't do that, he is legit. Whomever called most likely got your number from the system and was trying to scam you. Rich doesn't talk over the phone, only through email. You should email him back and tell him what happened and he will make it right. Steven is also very trustworthy and will send two packages.I will try to put that number up again.

@ Maureen- check post 515 carefully. I understand the concern- I just get wrapped up in knowing that people are going through an unplanned reduction in dose which is really terrible. Even if you take the exact prescribed dose, you still have withdrawal symptoms even going down 1 pill.
I have a post pending-some of mine are "reviewed", but I was asking you about fibromyalgia. Read up on it- there is more to it than pain. I'm trying Savella now- lets see if that helps. I'll probably end up seeing a pain specialist. Thanks to the media demonizing all pain medicines it's damn near impossible to find a doc who will write for something on a long term basis...

Maureen- it could be fibro. have you done any research? Besides pain, FMS has other symptoms. For me, the "fibro-fog" is the most disabling- as far as working/competing in the world. All the sensory issues are just annoying- sensitivity to noise. smell, movement. FMS really does make you feel like an effing lunatic at times. Most of the meds that have proved useful for FMS have side effects I cannot live with- neurontin- works beautifully, but the weight gain and the increased forgetfulness & brain farts. Lyrica- I would literally stare at a sock and not remember what to do with it, or approach a red light and think" i know i'm supposed to do something here- what is it?" and the hand/foot swelling. The worst is the SSRIs. they have the worst side effect for women- you cannot have an orgasm with a partner, with yourself, or even in a dream- it doesn't matter, and I just can't live with that. When I was first diagnosed, that was the first thing they told me- do it as much as possible for the endorphin release and the improved sleep. I'm not a doctor, from what I've read, tramadol works similar to the SSRIs, but doesn't cause the same effects- probably due to half life, onset, peak, and all that crap-I'm not sure.. I am sure that tramadol works pretty well, but it is not easy to find a doc that will write for 180+ per month as a regular medicine. As many know, you can't take this "as needed". If you take eight everyday for a month, your body wants eight. try to go to 6, and the body protests.. I won't even tell you how bad it is when you take way more than eight, or what it's like when it's been been several years and not just a month or so. It's so frustrating. It has caused me to turn to the online pharmacies- even though the cost of the med is more per se, I don't have to go to the doc, and I know I am walking away with what I want ans not just sitting in a room with a bunch of coughing and sneezing people only to come away with a script for diclofenac (arthritis med) Anyhow, I hope I can help someone- esp the numbers in {edited for privacy}. I havent used them, but it seems like several have had success.. It may help if you add the other info. take care everyone. being uncomfortable and in pain sucks, and it's nice to know I'm not alone...

I had a fall on a cruise ship in 2007 and had a cervical fusion, but have had a lot of pain in my lower back all the way down to my feet. I was convinced there was a major problem I had a MRI and it just shows some degenerative problems, so when I wake up in the morning I have problems gettin up, I take tramadol, soma and neurontin, together they work but not alone, I have to take all of them all the time. but I seem to run out of my tramadol early every month. I think that I must have fibromyalga because the MRI didn't show anything major

Maureen, if you google "drug monitoring" and then go to dea diversion - I think it comes up second, there is a description of how it works. There is a lot of other info there to that may pertain to online pharmacy users (or other non-brick and mortar pharmacies). What is described there will definitely knock out doctor shoppers- not sure how or when it will affect us...

What is this drug thing that they will know about when you get tramadol? I don't understand that. If you go to a pharmaccy with insurance I can see them tracking you but what if you pay cash? I do that sometimes I have a pharmacy that doesn't have my insurance info and I pay cash. Then I have my regular pharmacy. that has my insurance info. I can't see them knowing unless you use insurance.

I started taking this when I was 34. My kids were younger at the time. I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I had to go through Many doctors to get any help. One of the "specialists" had a long month wait for an appointment. Once I finally got in, he put me on amitriptaline and told me it would take 8 weeks to work! Amitriptaline?! are you kidding me?! Of course it didn't work and it left me in a stupor. I had to wait another 5 weeks to get back in. By then I had read about all the bizzare treatments like colonics, guifenesin, and a bunch of other nonsense. I asked him to put me on tramadol and he agrred. In fact he was thrilled that I was not asking for percocet. After taking it, eating and sleeping well, giving up cigarettes, I felt much better and am not in pain all the time. It's been 7 years, and now that there are all these laws cracking down on everything, I'm a little worried. I hope you can put it all together and get something from my history. there is an article on wikihow- i think its something like how to endure opiate withdrawl- good tips in there too. Also, Maureen has some good info too. It is always good to mention her name.
