Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. 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 ...

I took it on the night that I got the prescription. I had muscle strained lower neck in back. Took one more the next morning. I could not urinate and had drank a lot of liquids. Had to go to emergency room because I was in pain. They put a foley catheter in me til I saw the urologist in a week. The emergency room doctor believed the tramadol was the problem so I stopped taking it. It started to leak this morning so read on internet how to remove it and yeahhhh pipes working again. I will list it on my allergy list at my doctors office. Pure allergic reaction to meRead More Read Less

I suffer from two bulging discs, bone spurs, and sciatica. I switched from hydrocodone 7.5/325 to tramadol. Tramadol works great for me. I take 50mg three times a day. It controls my pain without the sluggish feeling I got from the hydrocodone.

I had a procedure done in my MD's office and he prescribed this medication for me. I've only taken it twice a day for about two days, and it worked fine for me.

I have several nerve damage in the bottom of my feet which can not be corrected by surgery. The medication gives me enough relief so I am able to work 40plus hours a week: plus I am able to do my house work, Although it does get rough some days with the pain I can take 50 mg along with the time release and have a fairly easy day

I have been using this (Tramadol) for almost 7 years. When I first started it was one 50mg per day, now it's 4 per day. Doctors are wanting me to change and I tried that before and it didn't work with Savella, and I tried Cymbalta.

I was prescribed Tramadol HCL 50 MG for a severe ear infection. It took about 20-30 minutes for the pain relief but helped tremendously. This medicine also made me very tired but I was able have sound sleep and the pain was minimal when I woke up. I think this is a great short-term drug for those who are in a lot of pain and who do not take pain relievers on a regular basis.

Tramadol contains opioides, wich is similiar to the efrfects or "sideeffects" you get from Heroin. My experience was an eyeopener for me. get legal heroin from your doctor by calling it tramadol instead. Nobligan gives a similar high, oh.Excuse me....,Eh, i ment effect.........

I was given this because of a kidney stone. I took this medicine and went home and went to bed. I woke up the next morning freaking out. This medicine slowed my breathing so much that I was convinced if I went back to sleep I would quit breathing.I could not handle the dosage, have been scared to take it ever since...

I have been taking this for the last six months, & its about as effective as a sugar pill. It just flat doesn't work for me. I've had joint problems since 1983 (mostly arthritis) & it seems the best pain meds for me are nsaids & the narcotics, but I use them sparingly.

I was given Tramadol to be used for degenerative disc in my back as well as osteoarthritis. I may have well took an M&M for what good it did me. I did not kill any of the pain even though the Dr. gave me a direct injection. The only pain meds that work for me is Lortab or Vicodin.
