Ultram
These mechanisms may contribute independently to the overall analgesic profile of Ultram. Analgesia in humans begins approximately within one hour after administration and reaches a peak in approximately two to three hours.
Most of the time when someone is able to swallow, they should first try a nonnarcotic drug such as aspirin taken by mouth. If aspirin alone is not effective, it can be combined with a narcotic, such as Ultram.
Symptoms of a Ultram overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma.
Follow your doctor or pharmacist instruction for the safe use of non-narcotic pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen). Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details regarding your treatment.

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. A Ultram overdose can be fatal. Symptoms of a Ultram overdose may include drowsiness, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, or coma. While you are taking Ultram, do not drink alcohol or use drugs that make you sleepy.
Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how Ultram affects you. Be careful taking other medicines which may also make you tired. This effect may be worse when taking these medicines with tramadol.
You should not take Ultram if you have ever been addicted to drugs or alcohol. Do not take Ultram if you are intoxicated drunk, or if you have recently used any of the following drugs.
