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 medication does help to relax the muscles and there is a slight euphoric feeling. However, if I take these pills close to bedtime I am unable to fall asleep--AT ALL. I am up the entire night.

I was given tramadol when gabapentin was not working to take the edege off of my chronic pain. It gives a slight euphoria when you take the first dose and works almos as good as codiene would. I would prefer oxycodone (percocet) but this stuff works really well for a quasi-narcotic medication

This medication work well to relief pain for muscle spasm in the shoulder. No side effect. Take one pill/day for pain when needed. This medication does produce euphoria effect, therefore, not recommended before bedtime. In short, this medication save my life!

I was prescribed this medication for a toothache. It took the pain away, but the side effects were pretty strong. Very dizzy, out of breath at times, very nautious!! The side effects are worth it if you have nothing to do and have severe pain, but I don't recommend taking it if u plan on doing anything physically at all!

This medication does not help much with pain and after I take it for a couple of days, I always feel like I am in a fog for a day or two.

This drug has been wonderful for me, I've taken it for more than 3 years for TMJ and back pain and I've only had to increase the dose once. There was an initial adjustment period where I had some nausea and vomiting, but other than that - no side effects.

I know some people that take this drug just to get high. Just like meth users. It has caused seizures in one of my in laws that keeps taking it. It is a pointless drug that no one needs to use.

This drug caused me all sorts of problems and the side effects were terrible. Took this drug for 2 years for my severe migraines because co-promimal was taken off the market and felt it change my life for the worse! Didn't sleep much as had to go to the loo 20 times a night! Also experinced seizures which landed me in hospital and now it looks like I have stomach ulcers due to taking this dam drug! Can any one left me know what side effects they had whilst taking this drug? Can't prove that this drug has caused me problems as am taking other medication with Tramadol but since taking it my life has been hell.Read More Read Less
