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 ...

After the 1st dose, I was very disoriented, confused, & dizzy. Also was having slight muscle cramps in my chest. While it did slightly help the pain, I found myself very restess at night and unable to sleep. I will not take this medicine again because of the side effects.

Tramadol is useless. It is glorified aspirin in my opinion but with terrible side effects. I suffer from chronic back pain due to a workplace injury, using Tramadol is like putting a bandaid on a gushing wound that requires stitches.

I could barely breathe because of back and shoulder pain. Tramadol has really eased my pain and I can now function like a human being again.

I take this first thing in the morning before the pain has a chance to build up. Days when I don't do this, I am a mess by late morning and have to lay down.

This medicine almost crippled my dad. He could not walk very well and had hallucinations and wild dreams. He thought he was crazy.

Tramadol had no effect on my pain at all. Very disappointing, as the doctor is unwilling to prescribe an alternative.

I've been suffering from back pain,for years. Tramadol is a moderate pain killer intended to be taken with tylenol as they are in the family of NON-Narcotics. The only problem is if you take more than four a day,or two 50mg at once it will make you irritable and jumpy. So don't over do it,even if It's not a narcotic. At 100mg in a single dose it will cause breathing problems for asthmatics and those that suffer from breathing problems. Over all I give it two thumbs up.
