your thoughts on ultram/tramadol??

[I Bleed Black & Gold]

i've just started pain management a couple of day's ago,and i have a bulging disc on the L4 AND L5 lumbar and sciatic nerve pain in my right leg.the pm doctor prescribed neurotin for the leg pain,and ultram for the lower back pain at .50 mg 3-times a day.well it's kinda making me sick,my family doc was giving me percocet 5-325mg tabs before i went to the pm doctor,and i had no problems with it.whats going on??should i try to get back on the percocet and stop the ultram??
edit: i don't think i'm addicted to the percocet,i have only been on them for two months and can go for day's without them.just wanted to add that!

Its glad to know that you are not addicted to percocet (yet) since this substance is known to cause addiction. To shed some light on your question, ultram/tramadol is known for causing side effects such as nausea, constipation, dizziness, vomiting, headache, weakness and drowsiness. You can take ultram with food if you are feeling a bit nauseous. If you are feel you have a bad case of these side effects, then go tell your doctor at once and he may prescribe you something different. Everyone has a different effect on certain medications and probably, this is just not right for you. Your doctor also probably wanted you to stop taking percocet to remove the danger of becoming addicted to it.

By the way, do not change your medication back to percocet. Please tell your doctor first before making any changes to your medication. Thanks!
