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.

I not only find this drug as a pain reliever but also a mood enhancer. I'm not sure if this is a sign of dependence or not, but it does decrease the chronic pain in my pelvic region.

Was prescribe this med for bicipital tendonitis. Took one pill and had to stop because of the agitation and nervousness and sleeplessness. Do not take if you have anxiety attacks. Did not help the pain at all. :(

I hurt my knee and was prescribed this for pain, this has been the worst day ever. I have been nauseas all day, it caused me to throw up 3 times and made me irritable and in a daze all day.Dulled the pain a bit but not completely. Side effects are not worth the hassle :(

This medication does absolutely nothing for my back pain. I feel it was a complete waste of money. Advil works better.

Absoutley useless. No relief from pain whatsoever, but side effects are extremely pronounced. (sleeplessness, nervousness, itchiness and irritability.)

as a caregiver for an 85 year old women with dementia, tramadol was perscribes after she fell and broke a rib. While it helped with the pain, her appetite diminished, she was hard to keep awake,she was constipated, and it her dementia worsened. when trying to wean her off, she started hallucinating, and didn't sleep for three days. After a week without it she is returning to her old self. I would use with caution in the elderly

Total knee replacement a year ago and lumbar stenosis plus my other knee has severe problems but this med. seems to work well for me and no drowsiness or side effects. If I forget to take my afternoon dose I can barely walk due to joint pain. They would not refill it so we will see if I am addicted to it, I guess. Scary to read that it is addictive as I could not take the oxy or hydrcodone or other narcotic pain meds because of my stomach.
