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 ...

With my RA, I have constant pain and Tramadol works wonders with dampening the amount of pain that I have. I have truly been blessed by my doctor for putting me on this medication.

I slept all day but did not have any problems with sleep or fatigue when I discontinued use after one week. The medicine ais too strong for an active older male. It was not easy to use because of the strength of the drug. I knew I would instantly stop what I was doind, lay down, and sleep painless.

This took away my will to live. I just wanted to cry all the time and I wouldn't go anywhere or leave the house. It also gave me constant hot flashes then chills. When I stopped it I had 2 - 3 weeks of withdrawal with severe pain and crazy emotions, but finally I got happier again and stopped crying and I went out of the house again. But I have not found any effective pain control since Darvocet was taken off the market.

I wasn't asked if I was on an SSRI and I had extreme reactions. The urinary difficulty, constipation and nausea were all there, as was the slow, shallow breathing and sleeplessness. Awful.
