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 ...

I had total knee replacement and this medication helped relieve the pain (when I took two at a time every six hours).

I have had 3 sinus surgeries due to polyps, which are genetic. I have been given vicodin in the past after surgeries and for chronic sinus infections and wound up in rehab. After, I was determined not to take the vicodin ever again so I was recently given this drug for severe menstrual cramps and menstrual migraine. It helped the cramps but made my headache worse and is EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!!! Please beware when taking this drug and do not take unless the pain is so severe you cannot take it anymore. It also changed my personality drastically, made me on edge, snippy, and very impatient.Read More Read Less

When I first started taking the Tramadol I really liked it because I could get up and move around as before my husband had to help me get up and help me sit down. It was awful. But now I am doing better with it along with my other pain medicines.

Have been on Celebrex for several years for arthritis in neck and shoulder but had to quit. Dr. is having me try this to see if it will give me relief. Only works for a couple of hours at 50mg per dose.

i took this drug for plantar fasecitus, and it worked well. i also noticed that it helped with several issues.my senus allergies as well as my social anxiety. i stopped negtively dwelling and became motivated to do more things(im a natural procrastinator).. i had a mild drinking habit and no longer crave a glass of lite ale. this drug is a wonder.. the only problem i've incountered is headache that seems to surface when i take any other pain relievers (ibeprophine, tylenol, mobic..etc)and it is a bit habit forming as far as i understand. i would so much like to speak with other people that are expericencing the same effects as me. clearly more research should be published on this drug.. it has helped me in ways that most people cant understand. i feel normal again!.Read More Read Less

I USUALLY DON'T HAVE SIDEEFFECTS TO MEDICATIONS BUT WITH THIS ONE I DID I TOOK ONE AFTER EATING WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND I WORK THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT FROM 2330-0730 AND I TOOK THE MED. AROUND 0200 AND I ENDED UP THROWING UP ALL NIGHT INTO THE AFTERNOON AROUND 12. IT ALSO MADE ME FEEL LIGHTHEADED. SO IT HELPED OUT MY PAIN A LOT BUT I COULDN'T TAKE IT BECAUSE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS.

I have taken pain meds before but did not expect these side effects. I was prescribed 50mg up to 4x a day for severe pain in my legs. I took one as soon as i got home. I became very lethargic, and light headed. I was able to sleep. Next day I felt like I had a hangover, which is common for me,but it usually goes away in a hour or so. NOT! it only got worse. I had an increase feeling of nausea, dizziness,and felt like i could pass out while sitting down at work. I also have a severe headache, borderline migraine I actually had to leave work before I went face down ! I went home and slept or passed out for about 5 hrs. As soon as I woke up I came to web MD and found out what this stuff is really about. All this from just 1 dose.I don't think I'll be taking anymore of this RX. thank you for all the reviews and saving me from making a very big mistake.Read More Read Less

I had rupturing cysts on my ovaries and this drug worked wonders for the pain. Then it started making me constipated which cause my cysts to rupture more frequently, so I stopped taking it and only take it when I really have to. I dont think ths durg should be used on a every day basis, because of the other problems it causes. But then again every person is different, so ask your doctor before taking this drug longterm.
