User Reviews for Tramadol

This drug is worthless for my pain. It has terrible side effects it makes me feel just plain awful. It makes me anxious, jittery, muscle twitches, and I want to clench my teeth. I was finally put on Morphine and no weird side effects and a lot less pain.

I wanted to know if this medication could cause erectile disfunction

Given this several years ago after complaining of nervous stomach/pain in abdomen. Helps me to feel "relaxed" but I have become extremely tired, headaches, drowsy and can't concentrate for long. Wearing me down and I feel older then my age. Like to stop but have to get Dr.'s advise.

I am taking it for back pain

Was prescribed for cervical degenerative disc. It is also helpful with beginning arthritis pain in hands and knees. I only take it when I am going to engage in more than normal physical activity or when pain begins to be noticeable. I take it along with Aleve, as needed. The results are less pain along with a positive, relaxed feeling.

So far so good can't say anything about tomorrow I take one day at a time now!!!! Just happy that my pain level is lower

Has worked wonderfully for my back stenosis. I can play golf and function again. Have been taking for 2.5 years and do get a headache when I miss a dose.

Takes the edge off the pain. Still hurt.

I was prescribed 50mg tramadol 3x a day for pain due to degenerative discs in my neck. The doc said it was a mild pain reliever and good for managing long term pain issues. It helped somewhat, enough for me to continue it's use for years but after about 3 years I started to feel unwell. I was getting terrible jitters and having problems sleeping. My heart rate and blood pressure remained normal but inside I felt like I had consumed a dozen double espressos. I couldn't sleep without medication. I thought it was stress related and it took months for me to determine that my body was craving more tramadol. It was as though I walked through a physiological doorway and while the medication helped with the pain in my neck, the amount I was taking daily was not enough to satisfy my physical need for it. I tried to wean myself on my own and the withdrawal was horrendous.I finally broke down and saw my personal physician, not the doc who prescribed the medication and I have been on a several month process of weaning myself. I haven't had any tramadol in several weeks and still feel jittery but I can see the end I think. I am sleeping better but still need medication to do so. The process has been REALLY difficult for me and my family. I'm writing this to warn anyone thinking of using this pain killer to think twice before doing so. If you ask this medical professionals this should not be happening but tramadol acts like an opioid though it isn't technically and it's a bear to stop after long term use. Go on Google before starting and read about people's experiences with tramadol withdrawal. I wish I had. Read More Read Less

Sciatica and migraine headaches. Didn't help with pain at all. It just kind of made my head numb. Made me throw up and get dizzy. Will not use.

I am 38 years old and I have osteoarthritis in every joint of my body and degenterative disc disease I take 50mgs of Tramadol every 6 hours along with ibuprofen and it works well but without the ibuprofen it doesnt help with pain but it does mentally make me feel wonderful. I think that this medication should be used as an antidepressant than a pain medication. It does make me not sleep if I take before 5 p.m. and makes me itchy but am overall pretty satisfied for the time being.

I have 3 bulging disc worked great for taking the edge off the pain, but I had every side effect that could be, sweating, sever hot flashes, dizzy, joint pain, I passed out at work went to PDR looked up side effects. I Quite taking it took 1 to 2 months for the side effects to wear off, I'm 51 yrs old..
