User Reviews for Tramadol

This drug did not help me at all with my pain! It caused me even more pain that usual! Almost of all of the side effects listed I had. I was prescribed this for my mentrual pain and did not get any relief from that at all. It caused me to have a headache for two days - migraine strength. I did not feel I could take any thing for the migraine because it might interact with the Tramadol. I felt quizzy, nauseous and threw up constantly. I felt no well being and respiratory was a struggle. I just felt and looked really bad to the point where people asked me if I wanted to go to the ER. This med is the worse. And I have a very high tolerance for pain. Also, have taken other pain meds with no such side effects. I am still affected by this drug! Read More Read Less

Chronic headaches, neck, lower back pain due to 3 levels of DDD and fusion required in the neck. I have to take other pain meds with tramadol (such as Bayer Back and Body or Tylenol Extra Strength/PM). I must take 2 tables 3 times a day and the other pain meds about 1 hour later. If I don't layer the meds then pain is greater. Nausea, lingering pain, dizziness (high feeling), memory and speech adversely impacted. I sometimes forget what I want to say or just stop in the middle of talking. I will be happy when I have ACDF and I can stop taking the meds. It helps but not like I need it to help. If I stop taking the tramadol or take it later, then I am in terrible pain! I need stronger meds but oxy or hydro make me throw up and doctors don't want to prescribe stronger narcotics.Read More Read Less

I have fibromyalgia,and although this doesn't completely take my pain away every day, it usually lessens it to a point where I can function effectively. It has been the best medication I've been on for my fibromyalgia by far. I personally have had no side effects with it

this has not helped with my pain.i even doubled the dosage and it no good for me,all i wanted was for the sharp eye waatering to stop.

Kept going different dr and the last dr gave me this again I told him did not work help just like all the dr did not listen when to pharmacy guess what, I now have 3 bottles of the stuff that don't work.

Has helped better than Naproxen. Severe pain and nausea I have fibromyalgia andAlpha -1 Genentic disorder that I am being treated by a neurologist Feel like Ican't breath and very sick on my stomach.41v5ce I feel like nobody believes me. My rt. leg has been swellen twce the siz as left. Was told o reason. I read that Alpha-1 does that. I feel like I have the worst case of the flu.

I used to be hooked on narcotics, they are not the answer. Most people want to be high and just float through life, thats why they say Tramadol doesnt work but you put yourself in bondage with opiates, there's much more i can say. Tramadol is a great med for pain. Constipation can be a problem as with narcotics and theres little withdrawal reactions but nothing like (Lortabs, Lorcets, Roxys, Percs, Norco, Oxycontin, Diladid, etc.)Dont be a junkie.

I not only have extensive arthritis but have extensive neuropathy. No pain medication worked and I didn't want to be addicted. My doctor prescribed it when I broke my foot. AND IT WORKED!

Ultram was prescribed ofr back pain and sciatic pain. First I was to take it three times a day, then as the pain got better, to take two a dy then one a day. I took it over a period of three weeks, and received great relief.

I think it's sugar pill.

Taking this for bladder pain. Took one pill. Helped with the pain but cause itching and it makes you HIGH. not in a good way either. 2nd pill I took the next day cause extreme anxiety and the day after I had a panic attack. Even days after taking 2 pills I had anxiety and paranoia. (I usually do not suffer from these things) Overall, Scary terrible drug.

Does Not Work is now controlled

I have arthritis in my knees and had been on Vicodin for a couple of years and after hearing the dangers of addiction, I talked to my doctor about switching to something else. I was able to come off the Vicodin after a couple of days of discomfort and then my doctor put me on Tramadol. I have been on it for almost a year now and it works well - as well as the Vicodin did and I don't have the side effects. Both my doctor and I feel more comfortable having me on Tramadol for long term treatment than on the Vicodin. It takes care of my pain and I don't have to dizziness or sleepiness with it.

I have been taking Tramadol for about 9 months now as a breakthrough drug for Gralise 1800mg that I take at night. The tramadol is very effective in stoppng the pain. I have had no side effects.

Works good for me but its Highly addicting!! Bad withdrawals when not taken!!

a little nervousness, but all in all has been a great med to me.

I was on this medication long term for spine disease and severe nerve pain. This medicine caused severe muscle twitching, nighttime swelling of fingers and hands which led to trigger fingers and carpal tunnel syndrome and appeared to cause some muscle wasting. It was physically very uncomfortable to slowly reduce and stop taking this medicine. I would caution anyone in long term usage of this medicine.
