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 ...

This drug does NOTHING to mitigate pain. Might as well take tylenol.

I was prescribed this after knee replacement surgery because I can't take narcotics. Had 50 mg pills. Took the edge off the pain, but gives me a general feeling of unwellness and makes me very antsy. I'm trying to ween myself off it, but the feelings are worse when I don't take it. I guess it was better than taking nothing for pain.

took 50 mg. dose following knee surgery. It did not take away all the pain, but kept it managable which was fine with me. Needed some pain to remind me to go easy on my leg for awhile. No side effects.

took this drug for shoulder joint pain. After taking this drug for about 6 months (not on a daily basis) I notice i had trouble urinating. Thought I had prostate problems. I had some routine blood work done and was told my protein levels were off, and that i should see a hematologist. Stop taking this drug and in about 4 days I no longer have a problem urinating.not sure if this drug caused my protein level problem but i'm going to talk to my Dr about this. Had me scared that I might have something seriously wrong with my prostate. Will never take this drug again.I just have to find another way to deal with my shoulder pain. Read More Read Less

They say they are non narcotic and non addictive. I was a intravenous meth addict for over 10 years .The withdraws after just a week of tramadol felt like the worst flu in the world.

I take 1 SR 100 tramadol as soon as pain starts, or as close to it as possible. Average time about 3AM, pain triggered by fullness of bladder. After emptying of bladder pain subsides in reasonable time for 24 hours duration, or for the rest of the day. Without this medication nerve pain can be severe.

The only redeemable factor of this drug is that it will alleviate the withdrawal symptoms of Norco. Which IS an effective pain reliever. Doctors are much more comfortable with prescribing Tramadol than Norco.As for pain relief, I think its a placebo.
