User Reviews for Tramadol

seemed to be effective on first & second dosage,but little relief with subsequent use.

Rheumatic pain.

My doctor perscribed this med prior to a short trip I was taking in case my chronic back pain acted up. I take one 50mg pill when I know I will be asking alot of my back. It works great. I only take when needed and never take more than one pill a day. You need to remember that this is not a cure for what is causing the pain. I do a whole lot more to help ease the pain. Balanced diet, control weight, daily walking & stretching, yoga, cardio. This med is just part of what helps me lead a somewhat normal life.Read More Read Less

I have used this med for lower back pain. Most of the time I take 50 mgm and occasionally 100 mgm if the pain is worse. Usually once or twice a day is enough. Many days I do not take it at all. I find the drug effective and it has few side effects. I have not found myself using the drug when I don't need it. I love the fact that it does not make me sleepy or affected adversely as many pain meds will do. It takes the pain away without making you feel nauseated or sick. It occasionally causes a headache, for which I take acetaminophen. I would recommend it for people with chronic pain.Read More Read Less

It was very effective at easing my back pain, lasting much longer than 6 hours on a low dose (50mg) Although I rarely have headache, I have had more recently although I don't know if that is connected with the drug. I do feel more positive and a little more energetic. I have taken it once a day, occasionally twice, and sometimes not at all for a day or two. No withdrawal symptoms, stomach issues.

been on this for about 2 years now..i have ms along with ra..some days are worse than others...i take the 50 mg tab as needed ..it works very well most of the time.if i am havig a really bad day i will take narco..but it has significantly helped me cut back the narco..i think it has helped multiple issues..

Tramadol was first prescribed for me for knee joint pain. I was able to discontinue it gradually until I developed fasciitis in my heel with a spur. Tramadol helps me to continue to walk a short distance. It is very important not to discontinue Tramadol suddenly; with me, that led to lack of ability to sleep. Unfortunately, it only helps with pain; does not cure the source of the pain.

I have fibromyalgia and have been taking different medications over the past 3 years. Tramadol is the only medication that helps me with the pain. I currently take Cymbalta and lyrica. They help with my fatigue, but only the tramadol has really helped relieve the pain.

Pain in back and neck muscles have been relieved by taking Tramadol and have no side effects. Slow to work, but once it starts working its great.

Originally given for gallbladder pain. I was desperate one day for something different to ease my nerve pain in my neck/head and it helped. Neurologist gave me the ok but I only take it when needed. One pill and only during the day because it keeps me awake. Doesn't hurt to try it and if it doesn't work, move on to something else.

Prescribed after taking Talacen for 12 years and is not doing anything for me. I have fibramyalgia.

took for 4 days, 1 each pm and got very dizzy and sick to my stomach . This was a low dose pill. what a crappy drug and its pain relief is not as good as an Aleve. Throwing them away.

I was injured in a car accident, in which I received a bad case of whiplash. The doctor put me on Tramadol for the pain. I quit taking it as my wife claimed I had delusional conversations that darn near ended my marriage. I quit taking it as I will try something else. It took away the pain, but the delusional garbage is not worth it.

I have elbow pain from falling on the ice over a month ago. Tramadol has not been helping much. Dr. changed medication to Lortab which works much better. However the side effects from Tramadol are much easier to adjust to. The only thing I would recommend is don't abruptly stop taking Tramadol. Withdraw symptoms are like having the flu. Stop gradually to avoid these unwanted side effects.

I have been taking 2 50mg pills twice a day for over 8 years now. It really keeps my Fibromyalgia pain at bay and gives me energy since my pain is gone. I have not had to lower or increase my dosage during this time period. Paired with a muscle relaxer - it has been a Godsend for me.

This medication is great to control pain, but try stopping it!!!! Ever go through withdrawal from a drug? I didn't until I tried to stop this medication. It is the worst thing that I've ever experienced! The initial pain of my headaches was better than the withdrawal symptoms from this medication. Ask for something else before starting this medication....please. Do not take this medication!

I was prescribed Tramadol for treatment of chronic hip and knee pain. To be honest, I think that Ibuprofen 800mg provides much better pain relief. I really felt pretty much no relief. On the plus side, I didn't feel any side effects, either. It was as if I had taken nothing. If it works, great. Just doesn't work for me.
