User Reviews for Tramadol

gave me Grand Mal Seizures.Stopped taking it, the seizures stopped. I do not have a seizure disorder.

I have been on & off this med for a few yrs now. This med can be very addictive depending on how much your taking. When I have come off this med a couple times the withdrawal symptoms were horrible!! Enough to where I would not want to get out of bed for 2-3 days & had extreme nausea & vomiting. Other side effects I've had are severe itching all over & constipation. When I take it in higher doses in can make u feel a little "wired". A decent med for pain management but just be careful because it can become addictive.Read More Read Less

Taken for all-over body pain in muscles, joints, fibromyalgia, several surgical back & neck fusions, etc. Had been on larger doses of marcotics (perdocet (oxycodone), vicodin, etc.). Wanted to get away from the narcotics -- two tramadol work fairly well in controlling my pain without my feeling of ecoming "addicted" to them. Also helped me with withdrawals from narcotics.

Prescribed for edometriosis (like PMS) for pain. I always take with food - when I haven't eaten enough I get worse side effects (generally mild enough anyway) It can make one itch, slightly dizzy/woozy, I wake up instantly when on it - but can fall right back asleep. I do NOT drive when on it (feel reaction time is compromised & I have small children) Doesn't affect the quality of MY caregiving, but does greatly improve the quality of my life. I am on it for 3-10 days at a time. Sometimes it takes an hr to kick in, other times 10 min.Read More Read Less

Causes Severe itching

I have been taking this medication for 8-9 years now and it seem to work for me. I have a spinal cord stimulated for pain control this helps with the breakthrough pain.my problem is I take it with something that counteracts with the med (they Say)i don't feel that way

it has been an easy to use drug with no side effects

I have been able to get off prednisone, and lower my dose of methadone to 5 mg two times a day due to this drug. It is wonderful I take 300 mg time release tramadol

I have been taking Tramadol for 4 months both before and after arhroscopic knee surgery. It has worked very well and it got me of percacet quickly. I have been told that it is a little bit addictive.

Was given this for kidney stone pain after 2 days of percocet, this did absolutely nothing do ease my pain. Also prescribed awhile back for cluster migrane issue and did very little there.

I have chronic pain from osteo arthritis, bursitis and have seriously damaged shoulders. I had surgery on left shoulder repair rotator cuff, remove bone spurs and remove portion of collar bone. I've been prescribed Vicadin 7.5/500 mg 3 x a day for many years now and suddenly, the doctors are concerned about long term use. So, changed my prescription to Tramadol 50 mg and it actually gives me more pain relief than the narcotic meds did. I am so grateful for this medication. For the first time in years I am nearly pain free, as long as i take it every 6 hours. Read More Read Less
