I've posted the following to two peoples posts, and now - after reading everything everyone has to say, I am wondering if I will have a problem. Possibly become addicted or have seizures?? You all are making me worry:

Hello,
I too have been given tremadol, ultram (hydrochloride), whatever you want to call it, for migraines - 50mg little green capsul pills. I would get Ocular migraines caused by stress. They would get to the point I would loose my vision and have to lay down for about a half hour at a time. Then a minor headache would follow sometimes for almost two days non stop. I have now been on this drug for about three months. I can go days taking none (but not usually) or days taking one, and other days taking 2 and sometimes but rarely maybe 3! I get the same "happy" easy going, non worrying, way less stressing out, relaxed feeling from one pill as the first day I ever took one! So I guess everyone is different. Just wanted to say this pill has done wonders for my life and I am thankful for it. (I have not had a headache or Ocular migraine since). Also, FYI - It allows me to focus better on work and just smile and nod easier through out life and the things that get thrown my way! I do not take it about 6-7 hours before I know I will be sleeping because, for me, I can not sleep on it. I just lay there happily and feel good, but cant sleep. Oh and another thing, I had a problem with alcohol and partying and getting into trouble. Now I don’t drink except maybe once a week and have no craving to even then. I am also perfectly content staying in on Fri and Sat nights when my friends call and want to go out. I would rather have them over here to just sit and talk or play video games etc...Its not like I am being anti-social. Oh and this drug also seems to help me do the house hold chores. I can clean like a mad man and be happy and have fun doing it. Seems like its a wonder drug huh? Well to me, it is! Thanks for listening - hope this helps someone and if anyone has any advise or precautions for me I am all ears. Thanks again,

If you haven't has seizures yet, it's unlikely you will, they are addictive, but they're so weak you should have hardly any discomfort if you stopped taking them, unless you take a lot. Don't be scared by the addictive word, it sounds like you have a medical need for it, at most you would be called dependent, there is a big dif between the two. Try not to take too much, because you know where that leads you, try not to like them too much, because that's how it starts. If you can go without, that's really great, and it tells you something.
