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 ...

Was on Norco 10/325 for several years. OA lower back and bulging disc. No DR's want to write scripts for it anymore. Hmmmmm....... I wonder why. I weened off of it, started Tramadol at the same time. Got to admit, it works better than Norco! i have no pain, unless i sit too long. I'm lucky, no awful side effects. Makes me feel energetic actually. Only thing, one 50mg lasts about 3 hours, not 6 as prescribed.

I had a total knee replacement and was on opiate type medications.I have been on opiate meds for some time and their effectiveness has diminished. This medication worked great for me, no side effects at all.

In the past, I used this for pain related to a stomach ulcer. Recently, I fell and hurt my shoulder which is still bothering me. It is not so effective for the muscle and joint pain. I am afraid to use it in the long term, because I don't want to become dependent on it

This medication works best for my chronic pain from fibromyalgia and osteoarthrits. I have not found relief from other meds as I have from Tramadol or Tramacet. Very satisfied but not happy that here in Canada it is not recognized as the drug of choice and is not covered by our drug plan in BC. Would much rather take Tramadol than Percocet or Codeine (T3's) and feel it is much safer. I do not take it every day unless I have to. If I have to go out shopping I take it before and it helps me get thru my time away from home otherwise I may not be able to go out.Read More Read Less

I take 5 tablets a day, and it does releive the pain. I feel healthy and well when I take it. However, it wears off, of course, most durgs do, and because it is habit forming, that is a worry. I would like to know what others are taking,and how they feel, and how do those feel who are taking Tramadol

I take this for a ruptured L4 S1 and sciatica, at first it was alright but now that I have been taking it for a while its not as effective. I do know that if you don't take it on time your pain will flare up so bad you will wished you had taken it sooner.
