User Reviews for Tramadol

I have post-polio and have found tramadol to be the only pain killer that didn't put me out of my mind and I am still able to function. Doesn't make me feel sick or anything like the narcotic drugs. I don't know what I'd do without it. I've been taking it for many years...after trying EVERYthing else!

still feel affected area but no pain. this medication should be considered as a antidepressant. can't tolerate side affects of regular antidepressants but this medicine is great.

I have been on this medicine for over 3 yrs and my doctors are requesting I begin a new drug, "Con Zip" extended Tramadol, I just don't know what to do?

Y take tramadol oral 50 mg. for my chronic pain in feet nerves due d to neurithis.

it doent take the pain away

I was on Tramadal for 9 months and I remember having little pain. I had 3 surgeries for a severely broken arm and had damage to my hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. While on the medication my memory and logic was very impaired. My mind would go absolutely blank. I could not drive and had difficulty with normal conversations. I have been off the medication for about 2 months and my memory has returned to about 90% and I fell it will get better. However, I remember very little of the time while I was on the medication.Read More Read Less

Does not help with any other pain but a headache. And only helps when in the hospital with IV injections

I use this for Interstitial Cystitis with good results and no noted side effects.

I HAVE GOTTEN PRESCRIBED ANOTHER TRAMADOL IT HAD A DIFFERENT PRINT ON THE PILL AND FOR SOME REASON IT WORKS BETTER THAN THIS ONE, I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THEM BUT THIS ONE DOESNT WORK AS GREAT AS THE OTHER ONE

This medication helps me tremendously with my pain and it is easy to take orally. It isn't a narcotic drug so it is not as hard to get this medicine and it works just as well at treating mild chronic pain.

Was taking another narcotic pain killer that was pulled from the market. That made me feel spacey. Tramadol works just as well if I take 2 every 4 hours, but stop taking at least 4 hours before bed because it kept me awake. I do not feel that spacey feeling with tramadol.

Prescribed 50mg for lower Adbominal pain and back pain cause by fibroids. Did not help, I had to go to ER next day was given Percocet 5/325 which helped.

In order for this medication to work effectively well, the proper dosage must be prescribed. It's a matter of trial and error. I was on morphine for a long time (10 yrs), and was aware of the long term side affects and addiction. I asked my Dr. to offer me an alternative to morphine as I was afraid of becoming addicted. He prescribed Tramadol. Luckily I had no adverse affects to coming off morphine, and this is doing the job for me. I started with 200 mgs (once daily) but have had to increase to 300 mgs and it's working very well. If your not getting pain relief with the dosage you are on currently, I suggest talking with your Dr. and increasing the dosage until it works for you. Everyone is unique and so are our pain thresholds!Read More Read Less

I constantly keep throwing up, always agitated and keep a headache. Down to 105 lbs and I am a grown man! Have bone cancer and this is supposedly for pain, yeah don't think so. Lortab had the same effect. Whats a man to do?

I have osteoarthritis in hips & spine. Had a total hip replacement on right and laminectectomy & fusion with spacers on my back. Now have torn labrum and spurs in my left hip. This drug doesn't even touch the pain and discomfort when I try to walk, sit and sleep.

I have issues in my neck (C5 - T1 were removed in two previous surgeries) and when I started with crunching and severe headache this was prescribed. It made me feel awful, but I was only on it for a few days because I injured my lower back and was given different medications. They didn't work, so I was prescribed Tramadol again. This time I became violently ill, vomiting about 40 minutes after taking it (one of the known side effects). For me, definitely not worth it!!!!
