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've been on this drug for 12 years. I contracted lyme diease and then fibromyagia. It helps if you take it on time every day. If it wasn't for this medication I be in bed every day.I'm also on soma, antidepresant. and a sleeping pill. If it wasn't for this I couldn't deal with life. Thank god I have a dr. who gets it.I'm not interested in hard core pain pills. then you'll be in trouble. save those for when your dying. I

After many years and a variety of medications for fibromyalgia (neurontin, SNRI's, SSRI's, vicodin, etc), a doctor prescribed tramadol for me. She started me on a very low dose (one half of a 50 mg tab), which does work if the pain is not too bad. I take as much as 50 mg tid if I'm having a bad day, but often find that "boosting" the ultram with a 200 mg ibuprofen is all that's necessary to keep me feeling functional. I've not had the addiction issues others have mentioned (thank God!) but I am very careful with any meds I take so that my body does become acclimated to them. For me, tramadol keeps me going. I'm not 100%, but I am doing LOTS better than I have in the past 10 years. I highly recommend this med, but do caution people to be aware of how their bodies react to it.Read More Read Less

i startes this med. 5 years ago for help with migrains and joint pain. I have taken it 4 to 6 days a week,taking as many as 10 tabs. a day i have never had and side affects, but over the last year have found i am taking more for the same pain releaf. i have found if i need to stop or go off this med. YOU HAVE TO GO OFF SLOW or you will feel with drawll. start with skiping 1 dose a day for 4 days then go down 2 doses for 6 days and so on with each reduction add two days between changes this should help with side effects.Read More Read Less

I was in an auto accident and have rods in my back, femur, knee, and foot. Tramadol takes my chronic pain away, but doesnt last very long. I have to keep taking them every 4 hours and end up running out. This drug DOES cause withdrawl: diareah, restless legs, nasuea, irritability,etc. It works for pain but is tough to come off of.

I have to make sure I do eat something or I tend to get sleepy, but it has helped with osteoarthritis especially with hips.

I prefer this drug for pain rather than norcol because Norcol makes me irritable and sleepy, Tramodol is very effective for controlling pain with no side affects.
