User Reviews for Tramadol

I have taken this medication as Tramadol,Ultram, and it is in Ultracet and all of them suck.I took it for back injuries of the upper and lower back.It made me feel really bad, but i could have lived with it if it had killed pain.I have found that Tylenol is at least 5 time stronger as far as a painkiller.Tramadol also caused me to have a grand maul seizure, and I found out alot of peaople have this problem not just me.I think they should take this drug off the market it causes alot of problems and has alot of bad effects.Its overall effects on the body are actually worse than any other narcotic painkiller,and I have been given almost all of them and never had or heard of such a problem as this one causes.I urge whoever is given this drug to be very careful.I first had memory lapses and confusion when I first took it and the second time I had a grand maul seizure.Please be careful taking Tramadol.Read More Read Less

My doctor gave me this medecine in combination with celebrex in order to manage my pain and works very good after few years using others.

I absolutely love this medication. As a nurse, I have access of knowledge about many different kinds of medication. Tramadol works just like any opiate, but is not classified as an opioid. Therefore, this medication is NOT a narcotic, but acts as one. This medication, also, does not contain addicting properties.

i have been taking this drug for 3yers after a bad STROKE 5 yers ago whick left me in wheel char parerlised rigt side i had the STROKE WHEN i was 65 iam 70 now what his my i have a gert wife one in a millon what his my outlook. TERENCE i find this drug very good.

I take this medication for back pain and shoulder pain. It works well and does not had the narcotic side effects that come with other pain medication. It does not affect my job performance, but does seem to have a stronger effect on me if I don't eat prior to taking the medication. I have noticed a decrease in migraines as well. One side effect that I have been pleased with is that my appetite has been suppressed considerably. I had terrible side effects with Topamax, but this drug seems to work well for my needs.

I have been taking to help reduce pain in the Lumbar back called"Lumbar facet"(steroid epidural)injection. I have to wait 10 days to see if this is really going to help, if not we will go another round with the inections. I do not feel the Ultracett has helped me in any way.

It worked good for me with my back pain. But the I think the only draw back for me was this HORRIBLE metal taste in my mouth. That alone makes me want to get sick.

I had ankle reconstruction surgery. I was prescribed Meprozine and then Ultram for breakthrough pain. After the first week I started taking Ultram only. I find that it works great, but the inside of my mouth is awful. I have slight swelling of my lips and tongue and a horrible metal taste that won't go away. Other that that Ultram works to get rid of the pain.

I take 400mg daily for back pain associated with bulging disk and herniated disk. This medication helps me better than other opiates, it does not cause constipation, and I am able to sleep well at night. I just worry that I will become immune to it's effects, and will have to start using some stronger medication.

I am also on Methadone also I had a Gastric Bypass back in 2001 so I do not absourbe medications like a normal person I been taking 100mg 4 times a day with my Methadone id help it work better then just the methadone alone. I wish that there could be a different pain med I can take other then methadone?

My husband was on this med for 4 months for carpel tunnel we noticed it helped him with anger and depression also we loved how it helped with everything then it caused him to have a seizure and he had to stop taking it then he was awake for 3 nights with pain everywhere and spasims from withdraw?

For the first year it really helped, I was taking it 3 x a day for most of the time severe pain, from fibro. It helped me be able to go to work at least 3 days a week. after the first year and a half, I noticed that I was having a hard time remembering details at work. I also led worship at my church, and all of a sudden, I found myself forgetting the words to the songs, and even peoples names that I've known for years. I asked the pharm. and she said maybe I was taking too much pain killer. I've been sooo dissappointed, because I can't hardly stand up straight, or walk, or wright without the tramadol. I can't sleep either. I took myself off of the med, for fear it was messing with my mind. Now while I Do have more confidence in my momery, I have more pain than ever. I haven't been able to work in 2 months. I'm not sure what to do!Read More Read Less

will this drug interact with effexor? I am on 50 mg tramadol and worried that it will interact with the effexor

I get no relief from diabetic neuropathy. I have severe pain in my upper back with burning, hot, stabbing numbness and itching. My doctor was giving me percocet and morphine. When he sent me to a neurologist. She put me on Tramadol HCL 50mg-100mg every eight hours. Nothing. The morphine worked best but I had trouble sleeping through the night. At least the sever pain was gone. Now, I'm back to square one. The pain gets unbearable at times. I honestly can't believe Tramadol is addictive. Read More Read Less

I like it because there are no narcotic symptoms and I drive alot in my job. Because I have severe lumbar issues, it would be nice if it was a little stronger.

I was perscribed tramadol for tennis elbow. I only took the meds at night. I would wake up everynight I took the meds and be wide awake for at least 3 hours. My heart would be racing it felt like it was coming out of my chest. I had to quite taking it.

I was perscribed tramadol for my TMJ and shoulder pain. It works great. I also suffer from mild depression, and to be honest it helps with that too. I can sleep through the night, and am just happy to be me.
