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 four years with minimal problems. Some insomnia at first, but it cleared after several weeks and the pain relief has been great. I take 1 table twice per day. In addition I do other things like exercise, stretches, etc. No one pill can do it all. I am pleased with the results and have not found it addicting.

I was prescribed this medicine for knee pain, it hasn't helped me at all. It doesn't even begin to touch the pain.

I take paroxetine. I take Nexium. I take Trazadone...and I take Tramadol. I have Chronic stenosis of the back. Now I have a neuropathy called CIDP. Now, I know that this medication takes away from the effectiveness of Paroxetine. When I get up in the morning and take it with the Paroxetine, I get a burst of energy, and I am like this all day and at night to turn it off, I have to take Trazadone, and sometimes ambien. I forgot I take requip the generic form for restless leg. Lately I find doing miner things makes me out of breath. Read More Read Less

It has worked very well, especially when I couple it with 2 Extra Strength Aceteminophen. The pain doesn't completely go away, but it is tolerable.

I have been taking tramadol for carpal tunnel pain, and could not work without it. I developed tennis elbow in the other arm and it didn't help that at all.

I have herniated discs and tramadol is not effective for this much pain. I have been on this for a year and because of my insurance I cant get the proper meds I need to treat this pain.

I have used this medication for a long time and I do believe that it does work on certain pains but it wont help if you have any extra pains. Please note that this is highly addictive if you take large doses or take it everyday consistently. My brother in law had taken it for 2 years and he is taking 20 of them a day now. And when he started he was only taking 4-5 of them. I have been taking it for longer than he has and I still aint taken no more than 6 a day even in my highest usage.
