Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. Many people report poor results and they blame the drug, when they should be blaming their own body chemistry. I am in the miracle drug category.

I used tramadol for opiate tapering. After going from 80+ mgs of oxycodone and methadone, this drug was great. It wouldn't get you any buzz but it stops withdrawal symptoms to a point that is very manageable. Tramadol is the withdrawal savior.

taking it for 2 years for compression fractures in my lower back. never any bad side effects. works wonders when you have to bend and stoop. take about 300mg. a day. use it almost exclusively at work. use in conjuction with motrin. makes pain bearable.

Prescribed for chronic nerve pain (phantom pain). Found little to no relief. Over the counter meds far superior.

took 1 pill at night went to bed. Next morning took on empty stomache. By 2 hours i was lightheaded, somewhat dizzy, itchy, my blood pressure was at 120/80 when I got out of bed at 8 am. by 11 amm it was 147/95. The pharmacy said to rest. I rested all day threw up every time I got out of bed. The pain in my head went away but when I stopped taking the pill, I had the side effects and the original pain. I was at a level 9 in pain about to go the the hopital. I took my usual, relafen and a bath and i finally felt better. Went to bed, slept and next morning felt better. Read More Read Less

Tried this for headaches but only at 50 MG. After I read the other posts I wonder if I should have been taking a higher dose.

I found myself still needing ibuprofen after taking this medication, but overall, it's a decent, non-dependence-causing drug.
