User Reviews for Tramadol

This drug does not relieve pain at all. Also I wake up with a headache in the morning if I have taken it before I go to bed.

I am a cronic migraine sufferer. Some weeks, I had migraines every day. One migraine lasted for 3 weeks straight. My doctor decided to try Tramadol after numerous Migraine preventatives didn't work and we both wanted to get me off the Narcotic pain relievers. This medication has been amazing! It has done wonders for my migraines - many times it makes them go completely away, other times it keeps it from getting worse. Also, an unexpected benefit is that my migraines are less frequest. I went from 5-7 migraines a week to under 3 migraines a week after taking this for about a month!!! Usually, one dose helps me for the entire day! I highly recommend this medication to anyone. I need to take it with food to prevent the dizziness, but that it the only issue I have with it.Read More Read Less

Am currently taking tramadol for moderate shoulder pain due to past injury.

treating for neck pain. Has worked perfectly. wondeering when I can cut back on the dosage

Experienced some pain relief. Had a feeling of being high for couple of hours then awful depression.

knee revision and sever pain and this did not help me at all

I tend to just forget about the pain, while I am on this medication. I can take up to 300mg a day, usually in the 200mg range.

Tramadol (haven't tried the timed relased) has saved my life. I have fibromyalgia and lots of other pain issues. Before tramadol I thought death would be easier than all that pain! It does not work well on nerve pain but does wonders for the general muscle pain and stiffness from fibromyalgia.

Great alternative to hydrocodone and other opiates. Works very well in the extended release forumlation. The only short-coming I have experienced is the "lag-time" in its taking effect, especially if I have missed a dose. I would recommend this medicine over all other narcotic medications, including Darvocet for long term conditions because it does not contain nsaids; which can be bothersome when used constantly around the clock and over a year. Ultram is safer in my opinion. I switched from up to 60mg of hydrocodone to 200 mg of Ultram over 15 days and experienced no withdraw symptons and the Ultram is doing a great job keep sciatic pain under control.Read More Read Less

I am an R.N. and have had experiences with a lot of pain medications with my hysterectomy and a few other surgeries. Usually Vicodin was prescribed. I specifically asked not to have Vicodin due to the hangover affect. I took this medication after having a deviated septum repaired which was quite painfull and it relieved my pain well,post surgery for 4 days, with no side effects. I find this pain medication to be very effective in pain control.

It work for pain fairly well but only for a couple of hours and then i feel a little on edge and shaky.

Medication has worked, is this consider Narctic, since I am in Rehab Program, and will show positive on my urine test?

Tramadol has provided relief of long-term arthritis pain for several years--much better than any OTC I have tried.

chronic hip pain and some spasms in that general area. I often could not sleep through the night due to the pain, but with Ultram the pain has subsided. I have experienced no side effects from this medication, except for slight drowsiness, so I take it just before bedtime.

worked great for kidney stone pain

this medicine works great for me except it increases my body temperature

I have SI Joint pain which radiates down both legs mostly at night when trying to sleep. Since I have been taking Tramadol I have had good relief.

2 words sum it all up "it sucks"

This works very well when taken before the pain gets unbearable.
