User Reviews for Tramadol

I have been on 100 mgs of tramadol for years for Fibromyalgia pain. It takes the edge off but does not totally remove the pain.

I have taken Tramadol for over 2 years, I was started on it because of my achiness, I ached all the time, I was tried on Mirapex for restless legs , etc. I have to say the Tramadol has helped, I can get out of the bed of a morning. It does tend to be addictive, but on the other hand , my husband can take it to relieve withdrawel for the hydrocodone he will be on for the rest of his life. Taken correctly, I don't gt sick. I have found that it is not very good for TENSION headaches, but great for menstrual cramps, toothaches, sinus pain, etc.Read More Read Less

I nearly choked to death in my sleep. I vomitted my stomach lining. It looked like wet coffee grounds and if my husband had not of heard me and woke me up I'm sure I would have choked to death. These new drugs are coming out too fast and have too many side effects. Never again! It took me a year to baby my tender stomach after that. Just stop trying to push these crazy new drugs and stick to the basics. Hand me a vicodin, don't ever give me any more of these "NEW AND IMPROVED" chemicals.

I have been taking Ultram since 1994 when I went down in a helicopter while in the the navy. They told me that this med is great because it’s a senthetic and therefore you cant become addicted. WRONG. I refuse to take any narcotics because of their tendancy to become addicting, but now I find myself totally addicted to Ultram. If you take this med just please watch out.

My doctor prescribed this med to me for some hip pain because I have health conditions that severely limit what pain meds I can take. I took it the first time and had terrible dizziness after one pill which lasted about 18 hours. Hoping that it would just go away, I took 1 pill every day for the next 3 days until I ended up curled up in the floor of my bathroom unable to move due to the blinding headaches and dizziness and nausia. I called my doctor and informed him the hip pain was no where near as horrible as the med and that I wasnt taking it anymore. It took days to get that stuff out of my system and I will never take it again. The only good thing about it was that I couldnt even feel my hip but that was probably due to my head being in such disarray. Read More Read Less

I have been taking this med for 4yrs. I now take 2 tablets 3 times a day. it helps to make it through the day but it won't stop the pain. I feel real shakie and weak a lot and also sick to my stomach. I pray if you take this drug you have better results than i or some other people i know that also take this drug.

at first it was great. Pain was gone, slept well while I had trouble before. Doctor never told me it could be addictive and not to stop taking suddenly. I had horrible withdrawl symptoms when I accidently ran out. Once started taking agian ,after a short period I started having terrible pain in my joints in the midddle of the night.

ATTENTION do not mix Tramadol with Cocaine my friend died from this drug interaction. No warinings are given to this on any tramadol drug info sheets.

This stuff just makes me throw up and feel completely out of it. Very little pain relief.

not working that well for my spinal stenosis

im a truck driver and have back problems been taking this for years helps alot plus you can take and still drive DOT LAWS its a good drug for pain and i don't get sleepy taking it you get addicted to it though. if you work as a driver your company won't let you drive and take meds for pain but you can use this drug and still work.They are not a narcotic so you will be safe to use it, works very good for me.

This med makes sweat excessivly, doapy feeling with little pain relief

I have problems with my mid thorasic back area. I have two bulging discs and these help me through the day but when I get low or start to run out my legs start to throb with pain like growing pains and I can not sleep. Dont know what else to do dont want surgery or to take narcotics all my life.

I have fibromyalgia and never could find anything that would help for any period of time. I have been taking Tramadol for close to a year and it has been a miracle drug for me. It took a little while for it to work, but when it kicked in and I began taking it regularily it has very seldom not worked for me. It has changed my life for the better and I don't want to ever go back to feeling the pain I had. I have had this pain since I was very young, but got much worse as I got older. I have absolutely no side effects.Read More Read Less

Doesn't work for me. Glad it does for others.
