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 ...

PLEASE READ BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE WITHDRAWAL NIGHTMARE! I was using this medication for chronic migraines at the maximum dosage. It worked for a while, but ultimately the effectiveness wore off over time. After stopping, slowly, the withdrawal period was absolutely horrible! It was honestly 100 times worse than opiod withdrawal, I do not recommend this medicine for any prolonged usage. I was put back on opioids, but now i am opiod free and now on Amitriptyline and Lyrica which in tandem work better than opiods or Utram, at one time I was on both...not good.Read More Read Less

Have taken over period of 5 yrs. for nerve pain from a condition know as PNE (pudendal nerve entrapment). Up to 400 mg per day. Have also taken the slow release version. Decreasing effectiveness. Am now experiencing restlessness and trouble sleeping. These symptoms are getting worse. I believe long term use is addicting. Am goingto decrease and eliminate the drug. Noticed no obvious side effects when I started taking it. But feel different after long term use.

Taking for torn rotator cuffs. Doesn't help much, if at all. Only positive thing is it doesn't make me sick like most pain meds.
