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. Thanks to Tramadol, I am now able to live pain free (Extremely rare testicular disorder requiring several surgeries). If you are ...

It took away the migraines and the severe lower back muscle pain when nothing else worked. Amazing

The pain is worse if I stop it. I take it for fibromyagia and it helps enough.

have been on this medication for a year now and have only good things to say about it's effectiveness toward back pain and nerve damage pain. Also I appreciate that I do not feel "drugged" from this medication and can function at high levels at work and home. I take 100 mg every 4-8 hours depending on pain levels.

Have taken between 200-400 mg/qd since 1996. Works so much better than any other narcotic classification without horrid side-effects. If I run out without a refill, going through withdrawal, however, is not too pretty!

I take this along with hydrocodone. Together they only lower pain from 10+ to 7. That's on a good day!

Be Weary!!I took it for fibromyalgia pain. I had some bad side effects, but it helped a little. IT's very physically addicting even when you take it as prescribed and very hard to get off of.

I've had extreme nausea, combined with incredible dizziness and muscle weakness. Also, I've gotten pretty bad chills on this medication. I don't like how it makes me feel at all.

For treating migraines for 20 years, this is the only thing that has worked effectively, and no side effects such as the "hangover" feeling associated after I've taken other medications.

I have never been so nauseated from a pain medication in my life. It was horrible, and while it did decrease my pain, I just traded one discomfort for another. I will never take this again. I've been on percocet, and other meds with no problems. We wanted to try something less strong and I wish it had worked and I could stay on it but, there is no way on earth I can tolerate this medication. Four hours of severe cramping and nausea are not worth it. I gave it three tries thinking this side effect might be temporary but, the dread I felt trying to take it that last time coupled with the nausea, vomiting etc. make this in no way worth taking again. Ever.Read More Read Less
