User Reviews for Tramadol

I was taking Norco, but I didn't want to become dependant on anything so I asked my doctor for something else. So, he prescribed Tramadol. I have been taking Tramadol for three months now. (I have had migraines since I had my baby in November.) It really helps with my head, but I stopped taking it abruptly and had major withdrawels. I had the shakes, anxiety attacks, diarrhea, severe weakness, thoughts of suicide and sweat uncontrolably. I spoke with my neurologist this morning and he is going to help me wean off of it. I would recommend weaning off of this medication if you are to stop taking it.Read More Read Less

I HAVE BEEN TAKEN THESE MEDS FOR SEVERE BACK PAIN.I FIND THESE A LOT EASIER TO TAKE THAN WHAT THEY HAVE HAD ME ON IN THE PAST.THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT I CAN REPORT SO FAR IS NIGHTMARES AND CONSTIPATION...OTHERWISE CHEERS

I have fibromyalgia, and chronic backpain. This medication has made the difference in quality of life for me. Don't know if I could face a day without it. I don't feel addicted, but then, I just said I couldn't face a day without it. I've taken other pain medications, even injections to the nerves, of which none were as satisfactory as tramadol. Haven't experienced any negative side effects that I am aware of.

My wife takes this regularly. She had a seziure because of it. This I guess is rare but it happened. Please be careful taking this.

I have been taking 50mg Tramadol three times a day for the last 4 yrs. I have noticed there is barely any resistence building to counteract the effectiveness. I care for my 95yr old disabled (can't walk)mother. I have suffered from lower back pain most of my life and this drug has given me the painless power to help her. Thank God for Tramadol. After months and months of taking it, you learn how and when to use it. There are days when I take one or two tylenol with the tramadol. I now have an abundance of energy which is not zapped by pain.Read More Read Less

Similar to a mild Oxycodone. Gives you that upbeat opiate effect similar to a percocet only not quite as strong. Less nausea than Oxy. I actually prefer this drug to hydrocodone/lortab-(more upbeat,less groggy). 200mg does a good job of stopping a migraine in the early stages.

I have taken for years for SI joint pain. at first I would get dizzy and "high" but now I function normally. Occasionally I get a headache after taking this but with a few Motrin that goes away too. I can drive and work. Love it!

it makes my insides shake all over. does it have codeine in it. im elergic to codeine.

you need to take the medicine at the exact spacing of number of hours to control the pain otherwise you will end up in agony. but it is very easy to use.

Takes care of the pain fairly well, but I miss having my glass of wine at night, and you aren't supposed to have alcohol with this. I'm not sure if the trade off is going to work! :)

I am taking this for chronic bursitis in the hip. It works pretty well if I remember to take it before the pain starts.

I was put on this med because of my knee pain and it helps if you take 2 doses at once and it only helps then for about 2-3 hrs.

I started with a dose of 150ml a day and after three years have increased to 400ml a day...works well for my pain in my ankles, to my knee and also takes care of my RLS...

I have been on this medicine since i had my baby 2 years ago. it seems to work great at times and when i have a spike in my pain i have to take more than normal. overall it seems to work great for me.

COULD NOT SLEEP! Also, my legs were very restless and it killed my appetite.. I was up all night wide awake. This stuff is awful and worthless

i have been on this for approx.8+yrs.for pinched nerves in neck,back,shoulder,arm and a messed up back discs(sciactia)from a forced deliverey that shoul have been a C-section.I have come across the scary dreams a time or two and worse pain when the pharmacy has been out but....i can deal with it than the BAD narcotic pain relevers and withdrawl sympton in the past.its been my "miracle"pill!

it works well for 6 hrs and then has a kind of a hard down..

Pain go's away for about 2 hr.
