Re: Tramal/tramadol/ultram itching. Safe to keep taking?

If ever in doubt call a 24 hour pharmacy (even if you didn't get your prescription there). We had to do this once for my husband, we hadn't gotten the medications from walgreens but had gotten a sample from the doctor. When he started having what we thought was a reaction to the meds we just called the local 24 hour Walgreens and they indeed said "stop taking it, take 2 benadryl, and if the symptoms worsen or don't improve go to the closest hospital or call 911" and were happy to help out.
