User Reviews for Tramadol

I use Tramadol because I have costochondritis which makes my chest wall chronically inflamed and sore. It's very effective in relieving the pain. It makes me a little tired a bit spacey at times, but not as much as Vicodin did.

I have fibromyalgia and tramadol is the first and only pain killer that is most effective on my pain. This medication does, however, make it very difficult to concentrate. I'm in school to become a veterinarian and am having great difficulty keeping my grades up due to concentration problems and memory problems. Maybe it's just fibro fog but it is worse when I take the tramadol. Tramadol still is my number 1 when I'm in extreme pain.

Is Tramodol addicting?

tramadol has worked good for a lot of years i have not notice any side affects

The first couple of does I had dizziness, nausia, and weakness. I adjusted on my days off from work and am now able to drive and function with less pain.

tramadol makes me so nauseated that its hard to function. even 4 hrs after taking it, I am still nauseated. it also does very little for my pain from fibromyalgia

Tramadol is a God send. I have severe RLS. The first few weeks were difficult. Head aches, nausea. After that, everything is wonderful. The narcotics didn't work all the way down my legs, but tramadol does, plus, I don't feel drugged. Great stuff.

missed doses cause irritability and restless legs. the need to move legs drives me crazy and hard to get to sleep.

This was garbage for me. I was perscribed it for menstal cramps and syaticca nerve pain. Not only did it not touch my pain, but it also tore up my stomach!Even with food I vometed and my stomach would hurt through the next day. This med is NOT what my dr. said. It can be addictive and you can suffer withdraws form this so called non-narcotic.

Tramadol does help my sciatic and knee pain. However, I also have essential tremor and if I take this on a regular basis, the tremor does worsen. I usually take the tramadol when I am really having trouble coping with the pain.

It makes me dizzy some of the time.

I have taken this long enough according to the pharmists and it has not helped my pain at all.

works better on empty stomach

I had allergic reactions to this medication. Sevever itching of my nose and head and later my arms - dizziness and almost confusion. I took the medication late in the afternoon one day and very early in the morning the next. By late afternoon I felt horrible. I did not feel normal again until more than 24 hours.

I have been taking Tramadol successfully for the last 6 months to treat fibromyalgia. If taken every 6 hours faithfully, I can keep my pain level at a 3 to 4 out of 10. Without the medication, my pain level is usually a 6 to 8, making it very hard for me to concentrate or work.

I have been taking Tramadol 50mg every 8hrs as needed for 3 yrs. I have an auto-immune disorder that causes cronic joint pain and without this med, I would not function. I have not had any side effects and I love that it does not make me feel like I'm on drugs!

I use Tramadol with two other pain meds for acute migraines, and spinal injuries and permanent nerve damage in right side of body from military combat. I take it 2x per day with Tylenol 3 and t has worked great. The pains I suffered for years that were not treated properly, all went away when some years ago my new doctor in charge of poly trauma started me on this routine. It does not have much affect on me, but I know it is working, cause the pains and the inability to get around are minimal now. I also do physical therapy accupuncture(dry needles mainly) and chiropractic care regularly to help as well. This is needed and I am fully functional now.Read More Read Less
