User Reviews for Tramadol

This does not work at all for me...I might as well be eating candy...at least that tastes good!!

I have used Tramadol to moderate my lower back pain due to a ruptured L4/L5 disk. It has been very effective. I could not function very well with out Tramadol. There have been no material side effects to date after 4 months of taking the drug.

Iwas given this medication for Fibromyalgia. So far, it has worked for me. If I come off it for more than a day due to forgetting to renew prescription, Boy, I know it. I start feeling fluish. Immediately after starting the dosage back, I begin to feel better.

I was prescribed Tramadol for fibromyalgia pain and back pain. It was totally useless. Tylenol worked better, which is not much.

i was given Tramadol initially for fibromyalgia, it helped tremendously. i am now on lyrica and am backing off the Tramadol with my Dr.s help.

taking for lower back pain, no relief at all. more satisfaction with OTC ibuprofen

Does not work at all for pain.

ATTENTION WORLD! Before I had my first Hip Replacement,I researched alternative pain meds. Tramadol looked very convincing. Talked to my Dr. about it because no way was I taking Vicodin. So right after I was taken off of the morphine drip, Tramadol became my pain med of choice. BUT...HERE is the announcement!!...I also had Restless Leg Syndrome. And would you believe all symptoms of RLS are relieved when I take 50mg of Tramadol at the sign of RLS! Been taking this when needed for the past 7 years, and has yet to fail me. Compared to REQUIP and the other over priced prescriptions this is a gift. I get it from COSTCO ( 100) for about $10.00. If you have RLS, talk to your DR. about Tramadol.

I have degenerative disc disease and recently developed extreme pain from a pinched sciatic nerve. I take 100mg of Tramadol, 800mg Ibuprofen, along with 10mg of generic Flexeril 3 times a day. Prior to this I was taking a ridiculously dangerous amount of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen that left me in tear-renching pain. My present combination of meds helps much better but I can't be on my feet for much more than half an hour at a time before intense pain kicks in. My side effects include upset stomach, dizziness and weakness, bouts of blurred vision, itchy skin, and constipation. It does however, open my upper sinusses which get congested due taking Seroquel. Strange, but nice. Surgery sounds very risky so I guess this beats being wheelchair bound. Read More Read Less

very little relief with this drug using 100mg as needed

I suffer from chronic severe lower back pain due to Scoliosis. I'm taking 50mg 4x/day along with another Rx and cannot tell either help ease the pain.

It works well for my chronic pain.

I have been using this for 4 years. I am disabled from a stroke so I have to sit for long hours. This has helped for tailbone pain and some light back pain relief and also for light spasms on my affected side. Without this, it would be extremely hard to tolerate sitting for so long. But for any pain that is worse a more stronger med required but that's not too often. This drug for me is only good for light to moderate pain.

I HAVE HAD LUNG CANCER.CHEMO THEN SURGERY. FROM THIS I HAVE NERVE PAIN IN MY LEGS. IT BOTHERS ME MOST AT NIGHT, SO I TAKE TRAMADOLE AT SUPPER TIME, THEN WHEN I GO TO BED I SLEEP LIKE A BABY. NO PINS AND NEEDLES IN MY LEGS.

My doctor is prescribing Tramadol for my pain I am experiencing from HCV & cirrosis.

I have 5 bad discs in my lower back & tramadol (for break through pain) combined with hydrocodone takes away all of the pain with no side effects. I am a woman 52 years old 5ft 4 & 118 pds.

I took this drug for my migraines for a while and it help the first two times I used it, but after that it didn't help my headaches.
