User Reviews for Tramadol

I take time medication for pain of several joints. It works good how ever I suffer from very bad constipation. Without the medication my pay will stay a 8/10, but when i take it I go down to a 2/10-3/10.

I take tramadol for minor to severe back pains, It works good for me-better than the vicodin,I was prescribed-I do have to say it speeds me up some and gives me a burst of energy-maybe my metabolism is just right for this drug? I only take it when I have back pain or spasms-- 2 to 3 nights a week maybe-I always take it with food.

My doctor prescribed this drug for migraines. It worked only temporarily the first few times I took it and then did not work at all. In fact, it felt like my migraine got worse. I am now on Frova and that is really helping a lot. My husband likes this medication for the pain he has in his knew due to a torn ligament. And my dog (believe it or not) takes this for her arthritis (vet-prescribed). So works well for those types of aches and pains but NOT migraines.

I have arthitis in my knee. I have been getting the synvisc shots in my knee. The pain has been pretty severe so the doctor gave tramadol since advil 800mg was not doing anything

My Doctor told me I could take this drug up to 4 times a day ! Two pills at a time! I think he is trying to kill me! I take a bunch of other medications for other ailments! My ankles and feet were swelling! I didn't take the medication today and my ankles and feet didn't swell! I have been on this drug about 8 months! I will not take it tomorrow and will see if I have swelling or not!

I have been on Tramadol now for alittle more than a month and have found it to be pretty good on my pain however, after awhile it began to all but stop working for me completely. I have no side effects so far but still watching out for that (as the info paper stated). I have a torn ACL and Lateral Miniscus disc. Dr gave me a 2nd rx w/ a refill on it. Not sure if I'll get it refilled, may have to get it changed or the MG's changed for ineffectiveness and that is taking it 1 tablet every 8 hours as needed (and thats exactly how I take it).Read More Read Less

I experienced terrible nightmares and insomnia while taking this drug. Wouldn't give it to my worst enemy. I can only liken it to what I imagine would be like to taking LSD.

Tramadol works very well for my pain but I'm unsure of the side effects (nausea, lightheadedness, fatigue) are worth the pain relief. The medication makes it very hard for me to go about my day normally.

Tramadol has helped with my lower back pain. Granted, it doesn't have the bite of a vicodin or percocet, but it works surprisingly well.

I have Lower back pain from falling off a roof back in 2003. Since california worker's comp. renovation this is all I was left to take. It helps somewhat, but I still wonder if there is something better.

I was given a rx for 50mg Tramadol for Causalgia/RSD. It was ineffective! I am in severe pain,so I doubled! A no-no! But still it was ineffective for this typre of pain! However, I do use it for headaches when they aren't migraines.

my broken bone in my hand felt a bit better.

DID NOT HELP WITH MENSTRAL CRAMPS

I have chronic back pain from degenerative discs L1-L4 and it has helped control pain to the extent that it is tolerable

This medication allows me to continue to work and function with my fibromyalgia. The doctors tried all types of other medications, but once we found this one, I had my life back with no side effects.

I take this med twice a day for arthritis and sometimes along with Advil. Relaxes me at night so sleep well and keeps pain in joints to minimum. No major side effects and no addictions.
