My fibromyalgia doc recently put me on Tramadol(Generic for Ultram) for help w/pain management. It worked for the pain, but I've had VERY VIVID NIGHTMARES! I wake up breathing hard&taking several minutes to realize that I'm not still back in the dream. These nightmares are all about all of my triggers&worse experiences that caused me to be diagnosed w/PTSD. It also makes you very sick to your stomach.

Skymonk, Its no fun dealing with pain in the body or mind I hope you find a med that helps you hun I take Tramadol for pain and Xanax for anxiety. I have found that either med will trigger nightmares if I take them to close to bed. I have noticed it more with the xanax though, I have to be VERY careful when taking those to close to bed time they seem to trigger extreme night terrors. Ones that i have had stay in my memory as if it were real. It took me a little while to notice that it was the pills that where the cause of the nightmares and once i figgured it out i have managed to not have such extreme dreams. I would suggest anyone that has night terrors or bad dreams think of what you took within an hour or so before bed. At night before i go to bed i subsistitute my Tramadole with 800 ml. of ibuprophen this has seemed to help a great deal. Be Strong and Be Well ~~ Jenn
