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 ...

Lower back pain,I just started this medicine hour and a half ago, Tramadol 50 mg tab. It seems to had eased the pain to where I'm able to move around some where I can except what other pain I have now, pain is still their but tolerable, it reads 3 times a day but I will use it only once a day., I am afraid of this meds causing other problems.

I have been taking 200mg 2 times a day and been for 20 years. Very effective and no feeling of being high. Great for spine pain if there is no nerve involvement. This is common with spine pain such as arthritis or degenerative spine conditions. I recently went on to OxyContin and was using 40mg doses. It was what I found was close to Tramadol's effectiveness. I started on 20mg and it didn't work and 40mg did. The up side is your feeling of being high is short and the relief from pain is around 7 hours but Tramadol gave 12 to 14 hours relief with no high feeling. It is good allrounder drug without the addiction that Oxycontin gives.Read More Read Less

This medication has helped me. The only thing is your body gets used to it and it doesn’t work as well.

I was prescribed Tramadol to take at bedtime to help with pain and to help me sleep as I have broken bone in foot. Pain is somewhat better, mild nausea, and not at all sleepy.

It works well for my Arthritis pain. I found it disturbed my sleep so I take my last dose around 3:00 and am in bed usually by 9:00. I take it three times a day and if the pain is especially bothersome I take two. I don't exceed four a day (half the maximum dose) and have been taking it for several years. I like it at this level because it does not impair my thinking. You don't get "high" at these levels, which is what I am looking for because I like to program computers and don't need anything that interferes with concentration. .Read More Read Less

I am taking Tramadol 50 mgs. for pain every 6 hours and I take it with food and am still extremely loopy and when I take it before bed, when I wake up the next morning, my equallibrium is completely off for about the first hour! I really don't like it!

This drug has affected my ability to think straight and quick enough, sometimes I know what I want to say but can't put it to my voice without having to wait abit and really concentrate before the words come out. Also I've noticed since taking this drug I have become some what forgetful when before I was not like that.

This med.cuts the.pain if taking 2 in the.mornimg, one in the afternoon and line on the evening. It is a light.opiate and is less addicting to the next step heavier opiates. Taken with mobic helps with arthritis but the effectiveness 60 to 70%

I tried Tramadol to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. My doctor suggested I take it at night to help me sleep. It had just the opposite reaction. I had severe insomnia. Not only did the drug not help me sleep but it would not let me sleep. In addition, I felt no change in my pain level.

Tramadol is a very effective pain reliever. Non narcotic. Dr. will not prescribe even small amounts because "one dose can cause kidney failure." Dr. prescribed Tramadol once,for 5 days only for chronic R/A and Lyme.
