Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. Many people report poor results and they blame the drug, when they should be blaming their own body chemistry. I am in the miracle drug category. Thanks to Tramadol, I am now able to live pain free (Extremely rare testicular disorder requiring several surgeries). If you are ...

Tramadol/ACET 37.5/325-6 months Spine injury L5-S1. If your hear unfortunately you know a bit about the different kinds of pain. Tramadol (for me) has ZERO effect on my injury. It makes me feel better and when I have a bad flare-up lets say it helps relax my mind. I guess spinal Nerve pain is different than Muscular pain. Took a Gabapentin I swear made me cross-eyed and also first drug to help with pain I think because I passed out in bed. Tramadol can make you feel a bit sick if you your taking them 24/7 as prescribed. when I'm taking Tramadol I have almost no short term memory. long term use you may feel sudden Rage-( I hated my printer anyways) Don't drink Alcohol, not even a mouth full. Pharmaceuticals are never happy drugs.. If you want to have a drink I would honestly stop Tramadol for two days. Itchy skin,feel warm and even a bit sweaty and you will feel good, just pain will still be with you. Read More Read Less

I was put on Tramadol for chronic pain due to a connective tissue disease. It was a non narcotic when starting it so thought was going to be safe. When my pain lessened, I decided to get off of it. Now my life is hell. My Dr weaned me down but to no avail I am in agony with severe anxiety, depression, suicidal Ideation.... It has a strong antidepressant in it that I did not know about. I can't sleep, have RLS and mental confusion. I am in hell n earth. Needs to come off the market. I will probably loose my job.I took this as prescribed. It only takes a short time for it to hook you but I didn't know this until I decided to stop. Please don't take this I beg you!Read More Read Less

Doctors are afraid to treat chronic moderate to severe pain at the expense of the patient. However, some are OK with this particular medication, and many are not. I take this medication just a few times a week when pain is severe, and take Alieve often or daily. I do not take this med as prescribed every 4-6 hours for fear of side effects, however, taken when things go real bad it helps a lot. I use this with the Alieve and it does wonders. Doctors need to learn compassion and prescribe for chronic pain and get over the fear. I do not sweat addiction as this med can be gradually reduced to zero if needed. If a doctor refuses me this med, I fire them on the spot. I am not going to live in pain because some doctor is self serving and plays the cover your A.. game. Read More Read Less

I have a back and neck injury along with arthritis. My doctor took me off hydrocodone and put me on this. It isn't worth swallowing, does not do anything for my pain, gives me headaches.

I can tolerate my pain during the day, but it was waking me up during the night. Once I started tramadol, I was able to sleep all night without the pain.

Been taking this drug for a year and a half now because I have chronic pain and anxiety. I take 150mg twice a day. Not the greatest for pain always, not effective in treating my headaches but takes the edge off and allows me to get stuff done. It's not Norco so that's a plus. Completely destroys my appetite!

Was put on 250mg per day for fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Not much help with pain, but knocked my Depreesion out for the first time in over 20 years where SSRI's, TCA's, SNRI's never worked. Works like an SNRI acutally and for this reason, a positive mood I can handle the pain..
