User Reviews for Tramadol

I feel much better overall I can even handle stress better and it has helped with anxiety and depression as well

Tramadol 50 mg along with Motrin has worked well for back pain as well as arthritis.

Medication is very effect but I have passed out and had a seizure after and was out for 20 minutes. Doctors cannot say if it is just me or my body and the medication but it is fantastic for my back arthritis so I will still take. Had 3 seizures in 1.5 years.

It helps the pain I have from a broken ankle but I also have neurapathy from chemotherapy. I find that my feet often hurt from the neurapathy and when I take the tramadol this sensation (similar to restless leg syndrome) is significantly relieved.

Little " Loopy " relief of pain --steriods work better but side effects are not good

I have Hx of OA and DDD. This med gave me my life back. The Nsaids hurt my stomach. Tramadol is not hard on the GI tract. Can cause constipation.

Orthopedic surgeon changed me to this from Lortabs, which barely worked, and Tramadol doesn't work at all. Just makes me tired. They call it a "mild narcotic," which just makes me laugh cuz it's sooooo not.

tramodol works for my hip pain

I have OA, RA and fibromyalgia and this drug has been a life saver for me. Took away my pain and got me off the couch, I have lost 25 lbs since I started using this drug and I am almost back to my ideal weight. I gained 40+ lbs when I was first diagnosed with RA. Doesn't take the pain away completely, but it takes enough of the edge off that I can actually get up and move and live my life. I work full time and this drug does not make me "woozy", so I have no problems at work.

Takes the edge off of the pain

Siatica and lower back pain from herniated discs. A 30 year chronic condition. Fantastic for putting the pain at bay from a 6-7 to a 1-2 on the pain level. First thing in the morning I'm in total pain until I take this. It allows me to function without the stoned feeling one gets from opiates. I take 400 mg'day the max recommended but then I'm also 230 lbs, 6'2" tall man. Been taking it for about 6 months. One caution though. Don't run out if you are on it because the withdrawl is a bit*h! Told my care provider about it so no probs as long as I get it. Be sure that when and if you come off of it do so gradually.Read More Read Less

no pain relief at all. and i take a 300mg pill each day

Pain continues

Have had sciatic nerve problems, was treated for years w/vicodin. Me & doc wanted off narcotics. This worked somewhat at first, then hardly, now not worth the $$. Dizzy if I stand up to fast.

I have been taking this for severe back, right leg pain for 6 months. I am taking 2 - 50mg pills three times a day with extremely little help at all with my pain. My doctor said he couldn't give me anything stronger. I'm considering going to use Tylenol to save money!

did not relieve pain from stenosis of spine

I have been taking this pain medication for approx. 2 yrs and have found it works well to take the edge off of my back pain from arthritis. I was prescribed this in addition to Vicodin however, some days when my pain isn't so bad I will take 2 50mg tablets 3 times a day without the need for Vicodin. I also feel that it uplifts my mood, may be due to the fact that my pain has been diminished.

Doctors helped with my pain for 15 years with 10mg percocet. Now gives me Ultram because of fear of loosing license.
