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 have taken this medication for approx. 5 years before experiencing a very scary side effect: petit mal seizures. My doc said that my seizure threshold was lowered due to the medication. I am now off of Tramadol, but finding something non-narcotic with the same benefits has been difficult. Please be aware that seizures are possible with this medication.

I personally am prescribed up to 8 a day. I am also at liberty to take Vicodin for days when the flairing of Fibromyalgia is more than I can take.

the vet put my 10 yr old sheltie on this for hip displasia and severe elbow arthritis. he is on 100 mg a day split into two doses and has been on it for 2 weeks now. he is a changed boy. jumping on and off beds, playing tug of war, standing while eating and drinking and following us around the house. these are things he has not done in over a year. he acts like a pup once more. i am leaving him on this stuff for it has positivly changed his once old now young life.

I am a mother of 4 and have constant headaches. My doctor perscribed me this medication a few years back and it works well for me. The only side effect of it is that if you miss a dose (meaning to take at least 1-2 daily, if you are taking it often), then it kinda hurts your body. There is no side effects for me and it does not make me loopy like other pain medications.I would recommend this for those that have pain often, but not severe.

SEVERE WITHDRAWAL IN SHORT PERIOD...BEWARE I am being treated for herniated disc and lumbar degeneration. I started taking medication November 08, 50 mg twice a day. The medication did help with the pain but I am now being treated with injections and stopped taking medication. I am a very positive person but when I stopped and was told did not need to taper since a only a few months ...... severe depression, crying, sweating, insomnia, vomiting, and ring in ears. It is still happening but each day is better. I will NEVER take this medication again. Read More Read Less

Thank God walmart got it put on the four dollar medication list. Tramadol has been the best...

A dislocated hip 22 years ago. Pain every day since.Every step taken hurts without Tramadol. When I choose to not take any for a day,the next day is horrible. I take 3-4 pills per day.If taken after 4 in the afternoon,I cant slepp that night. Also if 2 are taken at once,my nose itches. This has happened to a friend of mine also. Tis pill works very well and a great alternative to the addicting Vicodin.
