I'm curious, since you're using Ultram 4x/day, then wouldn't it be better to use the sustained-release version ( http://www.1ultramonline.com/ultram-tramadol.htm )? There are 4 versions: 100mg,200mg,300mg,400mg. I'm using sustained 100mg version and it dramatically helps with my depression, motivation, social phobia and OCD. Just my 2 cents ;)
Take care,
Brad

There are currently no sustained-release forms of tramadol available in the States. I'm eagerly awaiting FDA-approval of a 200mg tramadol SR product called Doloryn, but who knows how long that'll be. <sigh>

I've tried to find info on how the SR form works. I'll explain what do I mean. If I have a 100 mg tramadol SR tab - then throughout 12 hours of half-time (this is the half-time taken from original package) it will release into my body 100/12= 8.3 mg of tramadol per hour? Does it work this way? If not, then how do the SR mechanisms work and how do they differ from XR? (Adderall XR, Xanax SR).
This is the end of the thread.
