User Reviews for Tramadol

having strange side effects not sure if they are from the tramadol

I have disc disease and herniated disc. Thid keeps me from hard narcotic pain and does not make me as drowsy . I have taken for 3 yrs and find I am able to consantrate and perform in regular duties. I chose this over all other . Will mess with your sleep do not take 6 hrs before bedtime

This medication works better than aspirin however side effects and withdraw are just as bad as with any opiod medication.

caused sleeplessness, nervousness,and little or no releif of pain

I have been using this drug for 5 months now for ovarian pain after having a tubal operation. Other than headache and tension in my neck at times it has helped with the pain.

This medication made me severely depressed. I cried all the time. It affected my every day duties, etc.work children. I felt a craving for it when I stopped taking it. My symptoms lasted for a week after my last dose. I know a few people this med works for just not me.

I have a 18 degree curve in my spine and have to wear a back brace 12hrs. a day. I also have a birth defect in my lower right side of my back. They said even surgery wouldnt help. My dr. gave me this since i am to young to get pain shots. The only thing it dose to me is make me sick and shaky! I cant tell anything other than that! I cant sleep, walk to long, sit or stand to long, bend over, or pick anything up with out my back hurting me. My back dr. suggested pain shots would be the only help but i cant get them till im 21. So my regular. dr. put me on this medicine and it has done nothing for me! I would not suggest this to anyone! I still take it everyday hoping that it will help, but never dose and I hate the fact that i am this young and have to deal with this type of pain all day everyday.Read More Read Less

I was in a car accident and have had 3 surgeries. Tramadol has really helped me get going everyday. My husband gets up early and gives me 2 tablets, I go back to sleep for about 1/2 hour and am able to get out of bed and walk my dogs nearly pain free. Nice that it in non-addictive. Does not make me feel loopy like all the other prescription meds.

I have been taking this for about 4 months for back pain. It does need to be taken with food, when I take it on an empty stomach I do get queasey. Never take 2 at bed time it will have you bouncing and wired all night. Overall I am please with this does not make me sleeply and and relieves my pain

I was walking and had a car back into me, this is what the hospital gave me for pain (along with motrin and muscle relaxers) None of them did anything for the pain.

I find Tramadol nearly as effective as narcotic pain relievers with less rapid tolerance to the drug, and associated reduced efficacy in pain management. I am in my mid-20s facing low back surgery at and have found Tramadol to have aided in managing my pain and postponing my surgery. I can also take it at work due to less cognitive dulling which is common with narcotic pain relievers.

It releives the pains in my hips.

works best by the end of day. Don't like sexual side effects ie.,less to no sensitivity,unable to climax.

Originally this med was used to minimize pain for my broken femur. The only thing it really did for me was make me sick. They have a Tramadol ER (extended release) out now that is much more potent and longer lasting. The bad thing about that since potency is higher, the feeling of nausea also increases.. for me. I have to cut one of those babies in quarters, I have never felt so sick and so high at the same time. Whatever the case, I can not use it anymore because it does more harm than good. I'd rather feel pain than to be sick all day. 3 years after my accident I still have pain but I deal with it, cause I have yet to find something that'll do the job without making me thinking about where I should go to throw up next.Read More Read Less

I was perscribed Tramadol from the ER after a wreck (cut my chin and had 12 stitches). The drug never really seemed to "kick in" or relieve ANY pain. It did make my nose itch but that is about the only thing good or bad that i got from using Tramadol.

I'm currently taking this medication as prescribed by my doctor for withdrawl symptoms related to an addiction to hydrocodone. It does absolutely nothing, but I"m taking it regardless because I want to do as I was instructed. It is a waste of time.

I take this med for bursitus of the hip and knee. It seems to be effective so long as I take 2 every 4-6hrs. Any less and I almost feel crippled. Pros: Shields moderate pain, if your active it acts as an upper to give you energy. Finally, it's on wal-mart's four dollar plan. Cons: If you're not busy or active, the med acts as a downer and will knock you out. WITHDRAW is horrible with this med. After taking it for two years, it was stollen out of my bag one day at work and I had to go without for about three days. After twenty-four hrs withdraw kicked in and I thought I was dieing....no...I'm not being overly dramatic. Worse yet, during withdraw, my RLS is the absolute worst it has ever been....meaning I can't just sleep through it. Read More Read Less

OMG!I hate this medicine,The first time i took it made me vomit the hole day, even with an empty stomach, i still had to vomit something. Once i got the generic one, by mistake and i was sent home from my work, because i vomit all over my desk!!!

Tramadol initially prescribed for pain, for which it is useless, However, it does a nice job of boosting serotonin initially and I use it off-label now as an antidepressant.
