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 ...

I have taken this for treatment of fibromyalgia for several months. I thought it may take time to build up in my system to help but it has not and I have now discontinued use.

I took morphine once in high school. This stuff makes you feel like you're on morphine. It kills pain, but unfortunately, not entirely. I have a ligament or something swollen in my right wrist, & boy it hurts. My appointment with a hand/wrist specialist is beginning of May, hence the tramadol in the meantime.

this medication is horrible both my sister and I had terrible experiences on this drug I have Crohn's disease and was given it for my chronic pain and all it did was make me severely nauseous and all I did was throw up and have excruciating headaches I hate it and will never take it again. Now my sister was given it for a tooth abscess for pain and she had a seizure from it it was the most horrifying experience of my life she stopped breathing then later I found out that Paxil and Tramadol when taken together can cause seizures and I do believe it interacts with other antidepressants as well but they do not tell you this my GI specialist was the one who pointed it out to me and he said he did not like the drug and never prescribed it I had gotten my prescription from a pain specialist so my GI put me back on Oxycodones again. I will never take this drug again and I always tell everyone about it. Read More Read Less
