That's why doctors give it out. I've given baby aspirin to people and told them it was something else and they thought they got high,,,lol Your brain has the greatest drugs built in, all the things that you do to get high only release them,,but they are already there to begin with and you can fool yourself to release some of them sometimes And yes it is habit forming,, I'm surprised your doctor told you that. Here the actual info on it. Tell your doctor he needs stop checking out the hottie that is giving out drug samples and stocking his office with ads for drugs and pick up that blue book on his desk that says PDR and read it. You need to find a new doctor my friend. This is cut from pdrhealth.com If you have stomach problems such as an ulcer, make sure your doctor is aware of them. Ultram may hide the symptoms, making them difficult to diagnose and treat. Ultram can cause mental and physical addiction. If you've ever had a problem with narcotic painkillers such as Percocet, Demerol, or morphine, you should avoid this drug. Withdrawal symptoms may occur if you stop taking Ultram abruptly. Such symptoms include anxiety, sweating, insomnia, pain, nausea, tremor, diarrhea, and respiratory problems. A gradual decrease in dosage will help prevent these symptoms. BETTER KNOWN AS WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS!!! Do not take more than the recommended dose of Ultram, since larger doses have been known to cause seizures, especially if you have epilepsy or are taking medications that also increase the risk of seizures. Among such medications are almost all antidepressant drugs, plus narcotics and major tranquilizers such as Loxitane and Stelazine. If you have liver or kidney disease, be sure your doctor knows about it. Your dosage may have to be reduced. Before you have any kind of surgery, make sure the doctor knows you are taking Ultram. If you have any kind of breathing problem, use Ultram with caution or take a different kind of painkiller. Ultram can impair respiration, especially if taken with alcohol. If you have experienced a head injury, consult your doctor before taking Ultram. The medication's effects may be stronger and could hide warning signs of serious trouble."
