User Reviews for Tramadol

I have L-5 herniated disc in my back, with Hx of severe pain x3 yrs. Did well on Tramadol the first 2 or 3 times I used it. But have gotten sweaty, with severe nausea & vomiting twice. Although it eases my pain, I'm scared to try it again. I have a choice - in pain or pain-free & vomiting.

2 days back, I took this drug after supper. My sciatica pain was significantly reduced. Next morning I wake up with nausea and extreme dizziness – this condition lasted for 5 hours. I am 155 lb, 5’7” and one 50mg pill floored me, just like it did to another 260 lb reviewer. My doctor replaced it with Naproxen 500mg – which is known to have similar side effects – I have not gathered enough courage to try it yet!

I take Tramadol for pain and, thought it usually takes about an hour for me to notice a difference, I am pleased with the punch that this little guy packs. It has a lasting effect which means that I don't have to be the pill popper that I once was made to be with other less sufficient medications. On the down side, I do get the slightest "foggy head" from it.

99.9% of the time this drug takes my migraines away. It works fast and it's effective.

I was having severe R hip pain to the point that I needed a cane to walk. The first 2 doses took the edge off and after 3 days of use my pain level went from a 9 down to 1. Thanks, Carolynn

I am unable to take many of the common drugs prescribed for pain, such as Vicodin, Percodan, and Darvocet. I am also not able to take anything with aspirin or any anti-inflammatory drugs. I suffered a massive blood clot to my left kidney and Tramadol has worked great for keeping the pain in check. I DO have ringing in my ears, which I believe is a side-effect, but compared to the pain, that is nothing, and it will go away when I stop the Tramadol. I am grateful I can take it.

It provides tolerance to the Fibromyalgia pain -- most often taking it away completely. What I like most is there are no narcotics in it.

bad withdraws cant sleep migrane headaches and diahrea didnt do much for the pain after 2 weeks bad drug dont recommend

I was given tramadol for wrist pain due to possible fracture. it did nothing for me to relieve pain and give me ad side effects like fast heart rate,agitation,insomnia, dry mouth and made me hot and sweaty. it seems that t works diferently for everyone. i wont take it again its not worth it for me.

i hurt very much it took the pain away.so i got back to my life.

this medication works for minor pain so it did take the edge off yet it did not entirely help me after my bladder biopsy

for effective pain relief after my bypass surgery this drug was brilliant

Pain in lower back caused by arthritis and L5 weakness. Did not want to take narcotic.

This medication does not eleviate yhe pain but it does take the edge off so i am not in severe pain. Also it starts really woring about 1 hour after taking but wears off fast.
