User Reviews for Tramadol

Dr. gave me this medication for chronic back/hip pain. Up to two tablets four times daily. I only take two before bedtime as they did not seem too effective during the day. DO NOT START THIS MEDICATION! Like many others, I have experienced strange/bizarre dreams and worse, THEY ARE EXTREMELY HABIT FORMING! I was going to stop taking them, and didn't fill my prescription. The first night, I thought I was having anxiety. The second night was horrible. Wound up in Emergency Room at 4:00 a.m. E.R. Dr. compared withdrawals to that of a heroin addict. Read More Read Less

most generally relieves pain when i take the pills exactly as prescribed. Does it cause constipation??

liver diaeae cannoy take tyionei oe aspiein

did not control the pain

works wonderful,however I can not sleep

I was told I had a kidney stone, and was put on double dose every 4 hours by the doctor. The hospital didn't approve as I'm under 8 stone and they said it would be too much for my little frame, but still gave me the double dosage. 3 months later they've told me its not a stone and still keeping me on it to cover up the pain. I have a high resistance to painkillers, hence why I'm on it. But this doesn't always work for me. Takes about 45 minutes to kick in and can last up to 10 minutes to a couple hours. Since taking it though, I can't sleep! It's nearly 5am and I'm wide awake but my body is just exhausted. Noticed this happens alot. Also I've read that people have nightmares and really weird dreams. I've always had bad dreams, but lately they've seemed too real and I'm waking up in sweats. Overall it's an okay painkiller, just make sure you only take it when you need it as you can get hooked right on it. Would recommend eating before taking them too. It says it doesn't matter on the leaflet, but it always makes my tummy feel funky when they're on an empty stomach. The good thing about them though is theyre coated so it's really easy to swallow. Hope this is a bit helpful! There anyone else the who is having the same problems with it? Read More Read Less

Very little pain relief when I take this for osteoarthritis. Also, I cannot take it past 3 pm if I want to sleep that night. Too bad my aching joints aren't aware they are supposed to only hurt prior to 3 pm!! useless drug as far a I can tell.

you do not wont go into withdral do not just stop it worst then any hydrocodone withdral and will last for at least 20 long days.i am addict and allways will be.it is great for opiate withdral but its only to steal from peter to pay paul,do not talk this if u r a addict its the same shit made by man not god

I was put on this medicine for kidney stones and headaches it worked for the pain at first. But now I want to not take it and I have problems when stoping of anxiety, can't sleep, my skin crawls, stomach pain, its the worst and my dr just keeps giving it to me do not start this drug I would rather be in pain than go threw the withdraw off this med!

One pill made me so jittery. I felt like had 100 cups of coffee. Good-bye tramadol. I'd rather be in pain.

Took this after back fusion surgery. It worked great and caused less dizziness,confusion or sleepiness than Endocet. BUT major constipation. Since reading these reviews I will talk to the pharmacist for help.

I can't tell a diffrance after taking it. I still hurt.

After back surgery I still had pain even though the surgery was successful. Tramadol takes 45min. to work. Tramadol does not relieve all the pain, however, I am able to be active. Somedays I take four 50 mil. Other days I take two. It just depends how much standing I do. I found reducing this medication dramatically can cause side effects. E.g. I dropped down to one pill a day and became very restless at night. Really unbearable. I have not needed to increase this medication because it has lost it's effect. I have been taking this drug since 2006. Hope this helps you decide. Read More Read Less

I was given this med for my Fibromyalgia, I was to take 50 mg 3 times a day. All this med did was make me sleepy and give me a severe headache. Tramadol didn't do anything for my pain.

I have been taking Tramadol 100 mg extended release for several years to treat Fibromyalgia pain

I have taken this for 5 months. I have neuropathy pain in feet and 2 deteriorated disks in My back. This med has relieved my pain 95 per cent. I have also lost over 20 lbs in a few months without trying. I sleep well and the only side effects are dry mouth and constipation. I can live with these side effects because it is a minor discomfort. This drug has allowed me to have a life. I was overweight and the weihht loss also took pressure off my lower back. In the beginning side effects were worse but I kept taking the meds and the effects disappeared.Read More Read Less

I took only one 50 mg. pill which within an hour made me extremely sick at my stomach. This lasted for two days so that I couldn't keep anything down except a little liquid. It also caused sleeplessness, being light headed and extreme fatigue. It only slightly numbed the pain I was taking it for. Completely ineffective for me.

neverousness, stomach pain contipation,nausous, i have more problems added to the already problems taking this than relief
