User Reviews for Tramadol

Prescribed for ear infection. It didn't help that pain much at all. 1st time I took it I became very nauseated and vomitted. Later took it for menstrual cramps (uterine fibroids). It works great for that. The added mood boost helps a lot also during painful menstruation. It does cause my sleep to be on the light side, never really getting good deep sleep. And I have a bit of a blah hangover feeling the next day. But it is so worth the relief from my debilitating cramps that I don't mind the side effects for the 2 days I take it every month.Read More Read Less

When I take this medicine, I am out (sleeping) for almost 24 hours, even at the lowest dose. When I take 1/2 pill it is the same as taking the complete dose (2 tablets at 50 mg each). I also get the numbness and tingling in all extremities. I take this as little as possible because I cannot wake up and do not remember conversations within the 24 hours that I take this. Took the 1/2 pill at midnight last night, did not get to sleep until 1:30 am, and did not wake up until after 7:30pm tonight and did not make sense until 10:30pm. When I take this I feel like I am drunk but do not end up with the headache and stomach ache. I also feel out of control and cannot control my balance and my legs. Read More Read Less

working good for me....taking 2/2 times a day helps me sleep and gives me a little buzz not like perks which leave u feeling like u got to get some more, when ur suppose to be relieving pain.

I began taking Tramadol for severe arthritis in my neck. After taking 50 mg 3-4 times a day, I developed extreme allergic reactions. I was only on Tramadol for 1 1/2 weeks when all of this began. One of the side affects mentioned on the med sheet that came with the Tramadal was "extreme agitation; mental mood changes". I became so aggitated (and this is not a strong enough word) and went into a deep depression even though I am on an antidepressant. I became someone I did not even recognize. Everything..and I mean "everything" caused me to become extremely angry, anxious, etc. I don't know how my husband could stand to be around me. I couldn't stand myself, so I knew he was suffering with my reaction also. It was a horrible place to be. I never want to go there again. I am normally a very happy person, but, I felt like I was in total and deep darkness. Life was horrible. I am so glad that I stopped taking Tramadol when I did. It took me another week or so to get back to normal. No medication is worth this. Be aware!!Read More Read Less

I was prescribed tramadol for my fibromyalgia pain, and it did absolutely nothing to ease the pain, but it did cause a severe headache and nausea. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

BEWARE. My background is on 2 previous posts- Last one I believe I mentioned my seizure. Been taking for many years very addictive. Yes it works great but is it worth problems? NO!If you're looking into drug before filling your prescription then it's not too late for you to ask dr for something else. I fell into my husband's arms-luckily not the concrete at an amusement park and suffered another seizure and unconciousness. Ended up in ER again. That's it. No more. Have stopped takind it since last Saturday. Told doctor I can't take it anymore. The only reason I made it through the week without severe withdrawl is because I had vicodin to take. Isn't that ironic that the narcotic helped me get off the non-narcotic without withdrawl. Should be the other way. Just trust me I've been taking for so long and can take so much thats why I had the seizure. Eventually you'll probably have a reaction- maybe not a seizure, but addiction, withdrawl inevitable. I wish I could go back in time and never start. I pray I can stay off it this time for good. I hope this helps someone before this happens to them Good luck to all.Read More Read Less

I only use it as a last resort when regular ibuprofen doesn't work as the grogginess lingers in me. Even when I take it early enough in the night, I wake groggy and it lasts a while into my day

i had neuropathy in my feet that made me miserable all the time. found a good neurologist that prescribed elavil at nite and tramadol thru the day. feel great 98% of the time! those who have this condition know how bad it can be-like walking on fire barefoot with needles sticking up in the fire!

I have been on it a year. It kills my chornic knee pain. I am free to go about my day. However I notice when I dont have it in my system to to me it is addicting. I have tried to ween myself off of it just to see and I cant. I have MD so I will be on pain meds for the rest of my life. But the fact it can be addicting scares me. However its a good drug. Not only does it kill my knee pain it takes care of my restless legs. And I have been able to sleep soundly for the last year. Its a all around good drug fro me. And it seems to work for a number of things.Read More Read Less

Did not relieve my pain at all.

This drug did me no good at all, in fact i had an allergic reaction to it.

Hi I am just trying to find out what is in tramadol oral. thanks connie wiberg.

I've had fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, cfs, sciatica, and a spinal fusion. This has gone on for more than 10 years now. As far as pain control, it works wonders. With any pain medication, it is best to head the pain off at the pass. Whereas vicodin, etc work fine for acute pain, tramadol has to build in your system, taken on a regular basis, with or without pain. BUT, I am now severely addicted to this medication. When I try to stop, the DT's hit and the pain, terror, anxiety, nausea, chills, hotflashes, mass cramps, etc. for about a week and then another week to get your strength back. It can be a very scary drug. Legitimate pain and need for pain meds and then addiction to compound it. Just be super careful. I will be in this vicious circle for many more years.

I have been prescribed this Rx, for Sciatic nerve pain, caused by impact of my other side of body compensating for my mva injuries & surgeries. I find it to make me loopey, instead of alievating the pain. It sucks, that it screws with my balance, that I can't shower alone anymore. Bonus for my husband though! ;) I suggest using something else, because with even PTSD, I am still in pain, but loopey and disoriented. Where's the benefit in that? A waste of my $$.

very bad withdrawals with this drug i have to find a way to get off them

I can take to 50 mg tramadols and last about 4 hours, or i can take 2 lorcet 5 and last maybe 2 hours if i'm lucky. i have arthritis and have had stress fractures, broken foot/ankle and broken wrist. Tramadol works great.

just didn't work well for me i have severe pain in my foot and it dosent realy help. I've had minor surgery in it twice. i guess i'll live with the pain till I get rid of foot problem.

I had been on Vicadin and my doctor had me try this instead. It could have been a sugar pill for what it did. All I did was get a little buzz off of it, but no pain relief whatsoever. I'm back on 10/325 Vicadin every four hours and it works for about 2 of the 4. Can't wait until he does the back surgery. Maybe then I will get relief.

I took this for 7 years, starting at 100 and then to the 400mg daily, it stopped working for me and I am now on Avinza and Tylenol#3, I have to take 150mgs of the Tylenol with the Avinza and I still have pain, I don't think there is any pain pills for chronic pain because all these pills are trying to fool the brain that we are not in pain, what a joke huh ??? I have fibro, osteo, high blood pressure and cateracts all at the ripe age of 53.
