Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. Many people report poor results and they blame the drug, when they should be blaming their own body chemistry. I am in the miracle drug category. Thanks to Tramadol, I am now able to live pain free (Extremely rare testicular disorder requiring several surgeries). If you are ...

This med did not do much for me especially if the pain in severe. My doctor has increased the dosage which I hoped would help but it didn't do much to decrease my pain level.

I've taken Tramadol for both knee pain and migraines, and it really did not help that much unless I took more than was recommended.

I was given this drug while taking Interferon and ribaviron for Hep C. I seemed to also have nausea with tramadol.

I made the mistake of taking this medication on an empty stomach. The Nausua and following sickness I endured lasted 2 days. I am a 240 pound guy and 1 pill 50mg floored me. I have chronic upper back pain and am now reluctant to take any medications. My advise is to eat something prior to taking.

It was supposed to help relieve muscle pain in my chest. It worked briefly. I never felt that the pain subsided. It just lessened the pain for the moment. I am fearful of taking narcotic like prescriptions. I wish the doctor would listen and suggest a better remedy.

With a past history of intravenous drug use (2 decades ago), I was a little leery of this medication. Post heart surgery trauma has left me with an unrepairable sternum injury and chronic costochondritis. This medication has made it possible for me to function at a moderate level, without experiencing any desire to misuse it.

I have back pain and i refuse to take painkillers like my dr. suggested so i take to tramadol and it seems to help for the most part. Not all the time but nothing works all the time. Painkillers are bad things to take and very addictive and as long as this works then i will use this instead.
