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.

Tried this because I didn't want codone. God, what a great med. No wonder they call it the wonder drug. Pain relieved, just enough euphoria to quell anxiety...no side effects. I can work, drive and totally function without worry. I would give it 8 stars.

Taking this to combat post spinal surgery pain. it works well and fast. i don't understand how anyone can rate it lower than "5" for ease of use - you swallow it people, how can it get any easier?

Too many years of Football, Pitching Baseball, etc . Tramadol has been a great chronic shoulder pain reliever. Also has a calming effect. No side effects and non narcotic. Very pleased with relief of pain.

have been on 400mg a day doesage (8x50mg)for 2 and half years now was also on sustained relase 150mg version for long time few years ago but changed meds after started halucinating from them. i have had complex nerve pains for 9 years now, have been on many differnt medications for this i find these seem to work reasonably well with my daily pains but dont completly eliminate the pain especialy on a bad day i find there are no real bad side effects just lack of hunger and difficulting sleeping which is common on high doesage for long time periods, i will say they do cause dependance and you will have severe withdrawl symtoms if you miss a doesage .overall they work pretty well and would be bery effective for short term usageRead More Read Less

Been on Tramadol for 2 years now. I tend to go off it for a week or so every 3 months. I do so just to check the effectiveness of the drug, and to give my system a short break. I will take it twice a day with an OTC pain med.
