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 ...
I experienced blurred vision at first, but it went away after 3rd use. It also made me very very tired almost immediately after taking i5.

Caused dizziness, upset stomach and insomnia. It did help the migraine pain, but I'm not sure the side effects were worth it.

AFTER TRYING MULTIPLE MEDS FOR MY MULTIPLE SYMPTOMS, TRAMADOL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY HELPS. (3 HERNIATED DISCS, 4 BULGING DISCS, MIGRAINES, CTS, CHRONIC NECK PAIN, AND CHRONIC DAILY GENERAL BODY PAIN) VERY SATISFIED WITH TRAMADOL, HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT I CANNOT SKIP A DOSE ANYMORE WITHOUT MULTIPLE PAINS RECURRING (I TAKE 100 MG 3 TIMES DAILY). I HAVE TRIED ULTRAM ER WHICH IS NOT AS EFFECTIVE.

I have severe low back pain due to scoliosis and a turned vertabrae in my lumbar region of my spine and sometimes this drug takes the pain away, but most times it may take the pain level down some at the most.

I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis - and pain is from multiple related symptoms - pain types include skeletal pain, cluster and migraines headaches, joint pain, chest pain (banding) and more. This drug proved to be totally ineffective unless given in massive quantities - only thing found to provide any measure of relief is Vicodin/Lorcet - am currently taking 4-6 10mg pills daily, and still finding little relief the majority of the time - but very hesitant to discuss moving up to morphine or stronger drugs with my neurologist due to primary progressive classification of my MS, and fear that when I later need stronger pain relief my tolerances will be so high that I will need dosages high enough to render me "stoned" in order to achieve any level of pain relief.
