User Reviews for Tramadol

I have never felt addicted to this med. Without taking it, the pain level is not tolerable. I also take Arthrotec for Arthritis pain. The combo works well and has allowed me to repair my body.

Everytime I took this drug I shat upon myself.

My 85 year old mother took 3 tablets of this drug and ended up in the ER, followed by 2 days in ICU and is currently in a regular room for 3 days suffering from severe hallucinations and other body ailments which were not present PRIOR TO this LETHAL DRUG entering her system. This drug is not for the elderly or those with Thyroid issues, both of which represent my mother and was known to by her doctor, but still recommended. We are in the process of suing her physician and all those involved in this matter. The admitting ER physician questioned as to why my mother was given this medicine, noting her age and Thyroid history. Let the legal suit began. PLEASE STAY AWAIT FROM THIS LETHAL MED.Read More Read Less

Just doesn't help much, takes the edge off sometimes.

I had a pulled muscle in my back in the summer and the Urgent Care doctor gave me this prescription for pain. It worked great and if I have any recurring pain, I take one of these tablets and it usually clears up the pain immediately. I have some ortharthritis also and this medication helps with that condition.

I have taken tramadol for 9 years and it still gets rid of my pain every time. I use it for chronic neck and back pain, restless leg syndrome, and it acts as anti depressant for me. I call it my miracle pill. It is very hard to come off of with really bad withdrawls but it truely works for me. I take 4, 50mg a day

while this is a very good pain killer it is highly addictive please do not take for long periods of time it will cause withdrawl symtoms once you stop taking it if you have been on it for a while most important it lowers mens sex drive, dr. did tell me and my wife this the withdrawl symtoms are bad once again do not take this for more than 2 weeks

I have never liked the thought of taking an narcotic pain medicene, with that being said my doctor suggested I try this and i feel better about taking this med!

i just started using tramadol at 2pm and i can tell a difference for the 1st time in over a year, since i ever got pain meds. i dont have much pain just by 1 dose. 50mgs is what i starting off with dr orders. 3x a day. i have sciatic nerve and degen. discs im so glad i finally got some pain meds. ive been using tylenol, for so long, my liver needs need to be filterd away from tylenol. so lots of water. im going to thank my dr monday. so it does work for now, will see later on down the line.

Okay the people saying this is not working are either 1) just built different 2) are so used to true opiates they are addicted and will not admit it. 3) full of crap. I went from Vicedon to Tramadol. Tramadol works for my LOWER BACK. I have been taking it for 7 years. Getting off it is nightmarish, way more difficult than stopping Vicodin or even heroin. But to say this does not work? People are under dosing or simply have a different metabolism. The thing about tramadol is it makes you feel good too. Its like a rush of serotonin. You may have to take it month to get that, but once you do its like an anti depressant, you will be the most happy person in the world. PLUS, it totally eliminated MY lower back pain due to a bulging disk and degenerate back disease. The reason it is so tough to get off is becasue it actually works on three levels unlike opiates that work on one. I say to the people that think it does not work, your docs are under dosing you or again you simply have a different body chemistry or just crave a true opiate. It works and to well and is way more addictive than any opiate ever! I stopped even though I am in agonizing pain because I am tired of having to rely on a dam pill to get going or feel normal. SO I will live with my pain just to get off this crap for a little while until surgery. I am only 46 and am not taking this for 40 more years! Don't take this for months or years unless you are older and/or do not mind being on it forever, becasue you will be.Read More Read Less

This was my only choice once propoxyphene was pulled from the shelves. Other narcotics cause nausea & vomiting for me. It isn't as effective as I would like, but I have no side effects such as sleepiness or experiencing a "buzz"; therefore I can take it anytime I need to & not be impaired mentally. Overall, however, it's not that effective.

30yrs roofing, back problems and arthitis in back~!helps me alright~1

NONE

I've been taking tramadol for years as needed for fibromyalgia and neuropathy. It works well if I take it at to onset of pain. I also have baclofen which also helps. If the flareup get severe it doesnt work as well. I recently was diagnosed with tendonitis and possibly a nerve issue in my neck. My doc told me to take it twice a day (100 mg)with naprosen. This seems to be working well.
