User Reviews for Tramadol

Was not effective with my pain at all. Gave to pharmacy to discard of.

i have been taking tramadol 50MG 3 times a day for about a year. i find that it works better when taken along with a advil or asprin. being that tramadol isnt a anti-inflammatory, taking it with one makes it work better. it also seems to work more effectively when taken at the 1st sign of pain, if put off like any other pain reliever it doesn't work as well. i have read some reviews with HORRIBLE side effects such as withdrawls, i have been lucky to not have had such side effects. i recommend taking this drug on a full stomach, otherwise nasuea may occur.

I spent over 20 years trying to get chronic pain under control. From OTC, to mild & heavy duty pain controllers to antidepressants, nothing worked. Tramadol was prescribed after a frozen shoulder manipulation. After the presribed time elapsed I advised my family doctor that I finally had relief and it has now become my maintenance drug. The only side effect that I have noticed is a mild euphoric feeling that is enjoyable. I can now enjoy life and enjoy my family.

I'm taking Tramadol for arthritic type pain associated with Ulcerative Colitus, I have found it extremely helpful! It took about a month for it to be totally effective but I am no longer in pain and I can play on the floor with my one year old granddaughter...and get up without difficulty.

i have chronic leg pain and so far tramadol has been the only drug (i have tried many others) that has caused the pain to subside. i do not take it every day but i have noticed that it's easy to build a tolerance. as far as side effects go i have experienced bizarre dreams while taking and headaches when stopping for a couple of days but for me those are better that the zombie-like drowsiness i experienced from drugs like flexiril and neurontin.

Did anyone Loose any weight on this med? I heard you will.I have just started taking Ultram. I had a torn disk and got back surgery in March. I have been having pain a lot lately. I supposed to take 50mg every 4-6hrs. But I find that 100mg about twice a day makes me able to function. But I still have some pain. I have a SUPER high tolerance to meds. I hope it keeps working.

I WAS GIVEN THIS DRUG FOR SEVERE BACK PAIN, MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IT WAS NON-ADDICTIVE, COME TO FIND OUT WHEN I STOPPED TAKING IT I WENT THROUGH MAJOR WITHDRAWLS,SHEKING, LEGS JERKING, SWEATS, CRYING, DEPRESSION. I TOLD MY DOCTOR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT TRAMADOL HAS LESS SIDE EFFECTS THEN LORTAB, I FOUND THAT TO BE FALSE AND WOULD MUCH RATHER TAKE LORTAB THEN TRAMADOL. THE PAIN RELEIF IS OK BUT THE WITHDRAWL SIDE EFFECTS ARE CRAZY AND NO ONE TELLS ABOUT THEM WHEN THEY PERSCRIBE IT AS A NON ADDICTIVE DRUG. JUST BE CAREFULL AND AWARE OF THE EFFECTS OF THIS RUG, BEEN ON IT FOR A YEAR AND HAVE ALREADY WENT THROUGH MAJOR WITH DRAWLS A COUPLE TIMES WHEN MY SCRIPT RAN OUT, I DONT THINK ITS A SAVE PAIN RELEIVER!!!!!Read More Read Less

the pnly problem i have sometimes is nausea

I have been on tramadol for about 2months for right abdominal pain... It works great. The only thing I would also like to caution people about is it can be addictive. I was on it for a short time and when I did not take it I had terriable withdrawl (aches, aggitation, depperstion etc......) Please becareful and fully understand this drug before taking.

IT IS VERY HELPFUL IN MAINTAINING MY PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH MENSTRAL CRAMPS. A LOW DOSE WORKS BETTER CAUSE IF I TOOK A HIGHER DOSE IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE MY HEAD WAS IN A CLOUD.

I take 100mg. times a day which is the max. recommended dose for neuropathy in my feet. It does keep the pain away if I take it. If I miss more than 2 doses in a day the pain returns full force. I have not had any side effects and would recommend it for patients with neuropathy.

50 mg did not ease arthritic pain. Some ten hrs later I took 100 mg which caused me to be in a deep drug-induced state wherein I could barely navigate my body to the bathroom, and from which I had difficult awakening. Upon awakening I had a tremendous headache, trembling and anxiety, all for several hours. I would never take this drug again.

I had a serious drug interaction which my physician (Dr. Robert Dehgan) should have known about since I gave him a list of all mmedications I was taking)I became very destructive. I was punching holes in walls and banging a hand mixer on the countertop. I kept repeating things over and over and was very mentally/verbally abusive to my wife and children. I will NEVER take this medicine again. I am now filing a compaint against Dr. Dehgan.

really,not to good i am sapose to take 4-times a day an it tore my stomach up,but it helped pretty good with the leg pain i was having with sleep apnea...

Have been on for 5 yrs now. Worked Great in the beginning then became less effective and I had to take more to get the same relief. Am now fully addicted, Horrible withdrawal symptoms when I stop or taper. Dr even tried Methadone and it would not work. I thought it was a life saver in the beginning but turned out to be a nightmare that I cannot get out of.
