User Reviews for Tramadol

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in Nov 2012, had surgery, went through chemo treatments and took this drug for pain. It worked great for me, relieved the pain associated with surgery and helped with anxiety also.

Been taking for over a year for lower back pain. At first it worked fairly well for relief however it effectiveness is less now. Take 4 a day. My wife also takes it for fibromyalgia and it causes sweats in both of us and constipation. Wondering if it might also be responsible for more labored breathing at times.

Had pain running down left leg due to disc problems and hip problems. Works very well for me, without drowsiness. Also helps my OA tremendously, although sometimes it takes a while to start working.

tramadol worked about 75% to take pain from costochondritis, but the severe itching was too much to handle. beyond this, it made me too sleepy to function at 50mg. so I gave it a few days and then stopped. back to aleve. and lucky for me I broke my foot, so not feeling the costochondritis as much right now.

I take this drug every day and still have moderate pain at times

Takes the edge off so I can funtion and also gives me a burst of energy,helps me with my deppression. Awesome drug and none addictive

VERY SLIGHT RELIEF

I have not been on this medication long enough to know whether it will be effective or not. So far I have woke up feeling like I was beaten up during the night and came home from work with the worse pain in my feet and ankles. That night my feet and ankles were swollen like softballs.

Works very well. I do have some of the side effects (e.g. itching, especially arms, neck and face, headaches, and insomnia). My does is 1-2 (50mg) tablets 3 times a day, I don't need that much, lesser dose works great. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and this helps take the edge of the pain, not get rid of it.

Gives me the shakes very bad!! Does not help with my pain either.

20 year old female taking for the first time for severe pain associated with PCOS. Had a severe case of the hiccups which made whole body jump. Anyone else have this symptom?

I have fibromyalgia and there isn't a pain medicine that will help that, however, it does help to relax the muscles and that is great. I have diverticulitis and this has helped to relieve that pain. I also have a lower back problem and it is helping some with that. It seems to ease the pain to make it bearable. I took hyrocodine but the tylenol in it made me sick. This medication is not making me sick, just relaxed and sleepy. LOVE IT>

I take this medication for chronic migraine. My pain level when I wake up every day will determine what I take if I have a migraine. (Tramadol, Norco, Percocet) Typically the tramadol will do the trick but in an instance where I do not take it I get severe leg aches and restlessness. It is very easy for your body to become dependent on this drug and withdrawal very quickly. As far as effectiveness I have been satisfied. Most times I will take the tramadol with something else to ease a more intense migraine and avoid withdrawal symptoms.Read More Read Less
