"i am 29 years old.  i have fibromyalgia and hypermobility disorder.  without this drug i would be worthless.  i used to be a grumpy person that could not accomplish anything without major difficulty.  i have taken ultram er 300 for the last 3 years. i have never been without this medicine for more than 12 hours.  i am now 3 days off this medicine because i ran out by accident.  this has been the most miserable experience of my life.  i am on the verge of getting written up at work.  i can not focus.  i feel horrible.  i cant go to sleep at night and i cant wake up in the morning.  this is truly miserable.  i feel as if i am being hit by a truck several times a day."
