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 ...

Tramadol is A Scam. It Is in no Way an Opiate.Massive insider Stock Traders Got the Med Scheduled. One Dose of Real Opiods Don't Cause Headaches ,Nausea. If your Dr Offers Tramadol they re Punking You. Ask For something else or get a New DR.. Shame on Web Md. THIS IS A SEROTONIN DRUG. ps ask the dr why withdrawal last so long on Ultram.

Fibromylgia symptoms reduce almost feeling normal again! Very few side effects compared to Cymbalta or Lyrica

Poorest excuse for pain relief I have ever used! I wish I could give my pain to the people who prescribed this Med and to the people who make it! It is a joke, just not funny.

I was prescribed this for Interstitial Cystitis. It worked pretty good at first at still does at a higher dose. I have found that it works wonders for my mood and overall good feeling and told my Dr. that. He prescribed it 3 times a day but most days I try to get by with twice a day because I do worry about addiction. When I'm having a bad flair with my IC however I do have to increase my dosage because the regular daily use has made it ineffective for my pain.

I started taking Tramadol two years ago after my left hip osteoporosis started creating nerve pain in my thigh--terrible pain. I take 2-50mg a day. I find it most beneficial to cut them in half and take a half on rising, at noon, supper and before I go to bed. It seems to keep the pain relief level consistent without increasing the dosage. I find it very effective. If the pain is particularly bad any day, I pair it with a regular-strength Tylenol per my Dr. When I first started taking it, it did give me a bit of a constant headache but that went away after a couple of weeks. I haven't had other side effects. I don't drink alcohol. It does seem to act as a mild mood enhancer although depression has not been a problem for me. I believe it is somewhat better on the kidneys than Ibuprofen which is why my arthritis Dr. originally put me on it. Read More Read Less

I am a Post Severe Septic survivor which left me with joint and muscle pains. I take about 14 pills a day, for chronic pain, muscle relaxers, insomnia meds,etc...so I explained to my doctor that I just wanted something "as needed"...when I just can't get comfortable or I've done some exertionew like mopping. Tramadol has been pretty good for me.

I went to the minor med, a clinic, and still had to go to the e r over what was told to me sciatica pain. They gave me Tramadol and said it's a non narcotic opiate, had me sign a form saying some people get hooked on this. Not knowing what the outcome would be i thanked them in the e r and went to fill my prescription. Finally got it. Been feeling stabbing fiery pain in the back of my leg for 5 days (nothing the minor med or the clinic they referred me to helped). With this pain i was feeling this med was a joke. If i had the opportunity to give the people that gave this to me back to them without hurting I'd do it. Only thing that has helped was laying down and time. To sum it up, same as Tylenol, Advil, or anything else over the counter. Weak.Read More Read Less
