I will run out of my ultram/tramadol on the 18th, they were filled on the 27th…it also needs a doctors call?
it also needs a doctors call in before it’s filled. I took a few to many about two days before, and the day before that. I was only given 112 pills instead of the normal 120 pills. For some reason the doctor recommends I take 4 pills a day, but shorts my two days worth of pills. When can I call in my ultram/tramadol? I know there is usually a three day leeway with narcotics, but in my state ultram is considered non-narcotic. I know other states may have it classified as a narcotic, but it isn’t that way yet in my state.
Anyway like I said I am running out on the 18th, and that leave 9 days without my ultram/tramadol. Could I call and request my ultram/tramadol on that monday when I am going to be out? Do you think it will be filled that early? It usually takes a day or two after calling it in to get it filled at my pharmacy.
Someone please let me know. I have enough valium to last me right to the day when I need them refilled, on the 26th. I have enough dalmane to be refilled on the 25th. I’m not worried about these medications because I have one more prescription for them. But I am worried if my new psychiatrist will fill it after this last refill.
Back to the ultram/tramadol. Would it be unwise to call next monday the 18th for a refill of them? I take four 50 mg. ultram/tramadol a day. If I cut back and took only two a day I could have them last until the 22nd. But I don’t really want too. Should I just take two ultram/tramadol until the 22nd and the call, or should I take my nice dose of four and call them in on the 18th?
I need help here. I have plenty of nerotin, and I think I may have some extra firocet to keep me going. And I have plenty of valium which is 40 mg. a day. And 30 mg. of dalmane a day. And I have 30 mg. of flexril a day, and 30 mg. of remeron a day. So I don’t think I’ll suffer much from coming off of ultram/tramadol.
One more thing. I have culinary classes beginning tomorrow. And one class is and hour and 15 minutes twice a week that is a communications class. I was asked to leave a university when I had a public speaking class and I went to the university health clinic and got a xanax from them and sat their crying like a baby which is uncharacteristic of me. That made them call the cops on me for crying. They called my mom. The dean of students showed up and I screamed at him to kick me out of school. He said he wouldn’t but when I met with him a few days later he told me to withdrawal from classes and go to a technical college to finish my general education, even though I had 68 credit hours, and and overall GPA of 2.97. huuuu (sigh) I think this communication class is a little different than the public speaking class, and it’s all I need for a culinary arts degree. I think you get up with a group to make presentations, and my valium might help. I could get something else but I don’t want to buy stuff because it’s illegal and I want to keep within the law.
So any answers about the ultram/tramadol? Sorry for writing so much.
One more thing
No that’s enough, thanks for anyone that read this and have tried to help me.
Long story short, if you get shorted or take to many or start calling the doctor or worrying the people at the pharmacy your gonna lose out on Tramadol and Valium. I get 120 Tramadol a month and force myself to take 2 a day whenever I can. I have stockpiled two big bottles full and I will not run out for months if I ever get cut off. As for benzos I do the same. Whatever happened or if it happened doctors or pharmacists are gonna put the red flag on you if you start having prescription "problems". Ration out your Trams until your next refill,in other words take the amount of days and split the pills out evenly until you can refill. They are addictive and are controlled in Arkansas and a few other states. Here is the DEA’s opinion.

According to you, you were shorted 8 tablets (which I doubt really happened) but even if it did, you took an additional 7 days of medication on top of your prescribed dose for a 3 week supply that now lasts only 12 days. Tramadol is not a controlled prescription but it may soon become one due to abuse we have seen by people. In excessive doses, it can be and is often abused. You need to look in the mirror and take responsibility for your own dilemma here.
I see by what you have written that there is more involved mentally going on with you but you are not going to find an answer by snowing out your world with tranquilizers, sedatives, and pain pills. It is still there when you come off the excessive meds. The doctor is not going to authorize more meds early because you are deciding what is best for you to do. He has a responsibility to protect you from yourself. Either you are going to listen to his/her instructions and follow them or you will be miserable for the shortage caused by your own actions.
Addendum:
Pharmacists KNOW this stuff is abused. Because of that , we make sure these type of drugs go through a double count procedure. In my clinic, all controlled are counted at least twice and larger quantities are counted twice but by separate people and they must agree. Larger stores use automatic counting machines that both weigh the tablets AND count by photocell or ultrasound. Both must match. The weight of a single tablet is known to the counting system. It is sensitive enough to detect a broken tablet in the mix. Others use systems that do all the above while automatically filling the container and labeling it. It is extremely unlikely that there is ever a failure in this system or they would not be approved by the board of pharmacy for use in stores.

Oh wow dude, i just answered your shorter version and i have to agree with the pharmacist.With all the other drugs you are taking & have & you are worried about running out of your tramadols?Dude i think you need to stop abusing your meds.Your doctor must know what you are doing and yup he won’t give you anymore sooner.I think you may need some help.You are on some pretty Strong stuff with everything you are taking.It’s only going to get worse if you don’t admit you may have a drug problem.I am in no way comdeming you so please don’t be offended i am just telling you this because i also use to take alot of meds like you do and i abused them pretty bad.Then i finally admitted i was a drug addict and i went to treatment and got off everything.Yeah,it was rough,but it was the best thing i ever did.I was abusing pills for 18 years.It’s going on 2 years now that i have been clean & off them.It is great to be able to wake up everyday and not to need pills to get me through my days.I do have my bad days to where gosh,i wish for a pill so bad.But i just remember how horrible i felt when i was coming off them.I also go to n/a meetings & that helps alot.Well good luck to you.

Learn to pace out your pills and the online option is a risky game in my book but to each his or her own I guess. By the way the pharmacist who posted an answer was correct in a lot of ways…
