User Reviews for Tramadol

no problems with this drug using itm fopr fractures of the back

I take Tramadol for chronic pain have to say its been really effective for me. I can get through the day and do what I need to do.

it hurt bad

I have been using Tramadol for 12 years. It has helped my pain tremendously. I have decreased the number of pills I take each day, but I rely on Tramadol to make my day tolerable.

I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia a little over two years ago and all the medication my specialist proscribed me either didn't work or gave odd reactions. I have been on tramadol 50mg for 3.5 years and it has helped my chronic headaches, joint and muscle pain, and has helped with the stiffness.

was told tramadol might be addictive--it isn't, because it doesn't work very well. if you have real pain it's pretty useless. Ibuprofen is much better at relieving pain.

have had back surgery. had terrible experience with another drug and was switched to tramadol and thus far the results are satisfactory but havent been on the med long enough to really rate it.

Totally ineffective on fibromyalgia. Might as well drink water. Taking 150mg for muscle pain in both legs, just increased it to 200 mg.

not very effective causes more side effects

I have been on Tramadol 50mg for 5 years now for degenerative disc disease. L4 and L5 discs and it has always worked well for me without the sluggish side effects from drugs like vicodin or percocet. But it definately can cause withdrawal symtoms if you been on it for a while and stop taking it. Now my doctor has me continually on tramadol. As long as it helps,I'll continue to take it.

I have moderate to severe osteoarthritis in my right leg, from my kneecap down to my ankle. My doctor prescribed Tramadol for the pain. He advised me to take 2 pills for extreme pain. I'm never doing that again. I felt very weird and very spaced out. I'm tired all the time and I can't concentrate. I hate feeling this way. I'm going to wean myself off this drug and go to Urgent Care this weekend.

Do not like the light-headedness, disoriented feeling

I have been using Tramadol for several years, and it has proven to be effective for my chronic pain management. Minimal side effects. It doesn't take the pain away completely, but it makes it bearable. If you are on it for a long time you WILL experience withdrawal symptoms and they are not pleasant.
