User Reviews for Tramadol

i have tried other pain medicine but this is what works best

the pain is still here hardly no relief at all

I take 2 at night for neuropathy in both feet, and I'm still awake most of the night rubbing my feet, putting them in hot water and begging for the pain to ease. It's worse at night and if I ever finally DO get to sleep, it's only for a few hours before the pain wakes me up again. It's just not effective for severe pain.

It has lost it ability to ease my back pain like it use to!!!

was taking this along with muscle relaxer. Neither worked.

I was on morphine for 6yrs for chronic pain. Since taking Tramadol there is no longer a need for the Morphine. I feel fantastic and pain free.

I have DDD and have been taking Tramadol for over 6 yrs now. It has been a wonderful and effective drug bar none. It also makes me alert and puts me in a good mood. One drawback, the withdrawals are horrific so dont stop taking it suddenly. Have your doctor gradually take you off of it if need be.

As I had surgery on my Spine . I did not wish to take other harsh drugs. My Doctor ordered Tramadol for me .

Extremely sore back when waking up. This drug allows me to play golf 4 times per week.

Have been taking this for migraine pain. Does not take the pain away but helps lessen it. Usually take 2 in the morning and if severe headache I'll take 2 more later in the day. Taken as Tramacet and can do 2 every 6 hours if needed. I try to not take every day as I do feel it is habit forming to some extent. Makes me feel less stressed. I now am on a SSRI also, Cipralex 10 mg for 6 months going to 15 mg per day now then going to 20 in two weeks. Am taking together with no issues so far.

I had pain in both hands and arms and I was feeling extremely tired. Dr. precribed Tramadol in a low dosage. Pain in hands subsided and some relief in arms BUT, I have more energy and no urge to smoke. Hmm...

Prescribed due to unbelievable pain after an operation. Found I continued to need it otherwise I would have awful pain and discomfort in my stomach. Three years, two scans and an endoscopy later I realise I'm actually experiencing withdrawal symptoms and manage to wean myself off. It took a month and a half of cutting them down slowly to one 50mg in the morning and one in the evening - then stopping each one of those in turn before not needing them at all. I experienced restlessness in my limbs - constant tapping on surfaces helps! and cold symptoms during my withdrawal. All my doctor could say when I explained what I had done was Well Done - no, Sorry for not realising this for you in the first place! I wish anyone all the luck in the world in getting off this drug, it's not nice but it is possible!Read More Read Less

Easily addictive, withdrawal was horrible, but when I took tramadol I was feeling like a "champ" but then over a year or so I found I "needed" them just to get through the day or even feel normal. So I stopped taking them.

Sweats anxiety and other side effects and the lack of effectiveness make the tramadol useless in treating the fibromyalgia and chronic pain

I was using this medication as a backup for my oxy after I had multiple shoulder dislocations from seizures. It IS ADDICTIVE! I had it for 2 years and when I got off it the withdrawal was worse than anything I could have imagined! Getting off oxy or even fentanyl was easier. Be Careful Everyone!!

I take for migrain headaches, it helps with the pain, but only if I take right away.

does not work

When I first took this medication, I felt like a anew person. All of my pain symptoms practically disappeared. After a couple of months, I began to notice that something was making me itch. The only thing that had changed in my diet was the tramadol(ultram er) so it had to b e it. Sure enough, I stopped taking it for a week and the itch stopped and it began again as soon as I started back. This time it was much worse, waking me up because my back itched so bad. I told my doctor and she prescribed Etodolac ER instead. Read More Read Less
