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 am experiencing leg pain around my knee that may be superficial thrombosis. Seems to help relieve the pain very quickly. If after an unltra sound of the area its turns out to be deep vein thrombosis medicine may change

Tramadol is the best pain medicine that I have taken since my surgery on my left leg. I had to have a rod place in my femur because I broke it in two. I really dread later on down the road because I know there's going to be serious arthritis to set up, but for now the pain is pretty mild and this treatment beats any pain medication I have taken.(Besides the narcotics I needed after the surgery) It's not addicting and it's effectiveness is awesome. I have been taking tramadol for four months. I really did expect my body to breakdown the effectiveness, but it hasn't. Trust me, if you have pain, anywhere, try this drug. You won't regret it.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the dr prescribed this 50 mg taken 3 times a day. It has taken the edge off the pain BUT ever since I started taking it I have been having night sweats and sweat all the time. He prescribed another prescription with it so I am not sure which one is causing this. Anyone else have issues with this?

My doc gave this to me for back pain originally. Did not work very well for the back pain but I found it great for muscular pain and knee that I have. I found that if I take it in the morning with Ibuprofen it will last all day. It is not a pain killer like vicodin, it just makes everything tolerable. I experience none of the weird side effects that other people complain about but I do find I can concentrate extremely well. I do not take every day- only when needed. I have to ask my doc for a scrip when needed. Read More Read Less

I had a severe reaction to this medicine. I passed out after one hour of taking the second dose of the drug and was in and out of what as like a med-induced coma (as my husband puts it). I had anxiety attacks, my heart beat irregular, my blood pressure was 96 over 52, I fell into a deep sleep & had to be shaken to be woken up and even then I was not responsive. It was touch and go in the ER for 14 hours. I missed three days of work due to the side effects of this drug. All this after taking just two 50mg pills (one in morning & one with lunch). I thank God for a caring & aware co-worker.Read More Read Less

Iwas told this was non narcotic and non addictive. WRONG. I became horribly addicted. Detoxing was terrible. Others having same problem told me it was worse than heroine to come off of. IT was a living nightmare coming off after using for a year. Lost its effectiveness totally, too.
