User Reviews for Tramadol

I take this for Fibromyalgia and it's a blessing. it enables me to work and I take Relafen for Osteoarthritis only when necessary. I've never had any problems with this drug.

I've been on this Med for 7mo. and I found it extremely difficult to stop taking cold turkey. You DEFINATELY have to ween off of it. One good aspect of this med is that I found it to increase my productivity. I got alot of energy. I'm just wondering if there are any side effects from taking this med long term????

I'm taking it for fibromyalgia Made me have seizures, yet still the doc's have me on it. also makes my my ear drums and throat itch after taking and makes my my throat thick with mucus and I constantly feel like i cant swallow

Had one of the rare side affects....seizsures

I am taking this medication only at night due to excessive dizziness and stomach upset during the day due to this drug. For the first time in years I have no pain at night and can sleep comfortably. I have fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, arthritis all over and multiple bulging and herniated discs and the leg and back pain associated with it. For my pain during the day I was just prescribed Mobic. I hope that I will finally be able to live as comfortably during the day as I am at night.

Not as good as hydrocodone, but it did the trick on my migraines and neck pain. It does seem to make you wanna smoke cigarette after cigarette. And I get up at least once a night to eat something. Weird.

I find Ultram to be very effective for back pain. At times I do experience an itching/tingling sensation, and very few times it has made me feel "speedy", but overall it works very well for my pain.

I am a muscular dystrophy patient taking 50mg 2xd for chronic pain. This medication has a very positive effect on the quality of my life. minimal side effects. I am a 74 year old male. My condition has left me with limited energy resources. Tramadol increases the number of hours I can function normaly. It does not have a dulling affect on my mind which might often occur from a narcotic. I spend a great deal of time on my computer or watching TV.

The itching is worse than the pain. Whether it's the itching or the Tramadol keeping me awake, I can't sleep. I have no rash, but the itching is insane!

I'm taking this for tennis elbow. Works wonders. My elbow pain went away shortly after I started taking Tramadol. Prior to that I was in a high amount of chronic pain. This also works OK for arthritis associated with Lyme disease.

Has there ever been a report that using Tramadol and Cyclobenzaprine together was contraindicated? I suffered 5+ years with horrible lower back pain. I could not do anything that required walking or standing for more than a few mins. I had tried everything from rubs to massagers, pain patches to hot showers{which made it so bad I ended up having to sit down in the shower}Finally after a year {almost to the day} of sitting in my rocker not able to do a thing, I asked my MD for a back brace to help support my lower back. She complied with my request and suggested I stop the 2 medications to see if the soft molded brace would help. I wore the brace home on Friday March 14th, stopped the Tramadol and Cyclobenzaprine the same day.Woke up on Saturday and did not have the hurting back. I have not put on the brace or taken the pills since that Friday. It's 4 weeks on April 11th without any, not an ounce, of discomfort! If there isn't any documentation on this possible pain inducer, how can I let those know that are taking this combination what the results may be? Thanks Andrea BrooksRead More Read Less

pain relief after a car accident and trama induced firbromyalgia

Given to me by work comp doctor for shoulder,wrist and thumb injury.It didnt do anything for my pain. What it DID do was make me extremely nauseated, shaky, and hot. I couldnt get cool. Worst drug Ive ever taken.

Good results for my Chronic Arthritis, back pain.

My pain is gone, but it replaced it with a headache & I can't keep anything down. I lost my dinner first, then white soda & pop sickles It has been 6 hrs since I first took 1 50mg pill.

I was diagnosed with West Nile Virus in September 2007. I had massive headaches with no relief. I tried a sample of the Ultra Tram and it really helped. I am having complications with migraines and the UltraTram(generic Tramadol) helps with the migraines and with the body aches and pains I still have.

I hurt my back and was prescribed Tramadol.Worked great for pain;however knocked me out for twelve hours,and even then I didn't want to wake up!Also took on one other occasion for pain(muscle spasms).I had serious mood swings--like I would look at my husband and wish he would pack his bags and leave--FOREVER. That was really strange, because we are soulmates...but I did stop taking it immediately thereafter. All in all, I would recommend for mild to moderate pain, especially if it is back related.Make sure you are in situation where you can get plenty of rest.If you have unusual side effects, I would definitely call my doc or pharmacist and see if they won't prescribe something different.Read More Read Less

This worked for me, took the edge off, but it made me itch, not able to sleep, and very bad muscle pain in the back of my legs. I can only take it every 3rd day or so, or the side-effects are to bad.
