User Reviews for Tramadol

great pain relief and reduction in back spasms

I have been taking 75 mg every 6 hours for 2 months for severe sciatica pain. It does relieve some of the pain, but not completely. I have to be very cautious of any opioids due to severe sleep apnea. I find that the tramadol does affect my ability to get a sound sleep. Most nights are restless with lots of tossing and turning, which was never a problem until I started this med. I also have a problem starting urination now, which I believe is related to the tramadol. So yes, it does relieve some pain, but the side effects are not pleasant. I am thinking about discontinuing the medicine and see if my sleep and urination problems improve.Read More Read Less

I have been taking this medication for about 10 years since I was involved in an auto accident.

I wasput on Tramadol for herniated disk. It suppose to be non-addictive. Not true, while it doesn't cause svere withdraw symptoms like morphine, it does cause aches in leg muscels,problems slepping....I quit taking it when on 150mgs- 2nd day- had full seizure requering 24hrs hospital stay and loss of driver lic. for 6 months. stuff is ineffective and dangerous.

lower back pain, shoulder pinching pain in scapular.

After a few surgeries on my gut, I started to have some severe pain in my back. While this medication is in no way as effective as Vicodin or Percocet, it definitly helps. I have been on it for about 1 year at maximum (400mg per day) dose, and it takes the edge off. Now that my stomach is healing I should be coming off it soon. Beware, if you have been using it for a while, don't stop cold turkey! My skin felt like it was crawling for 2 days straight!

I have been on this med for 6 yrs for chronic bck pain,and I read another users review about does anyone else have problems urinating on this med,well i do also.between the tremadol and amitrypilline it helps with my upper bck pain,but not my neuropathy I have had sin e December.

Started taking 50mg, 7 months ago due to 4 herniated cervical discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease,scoliosis, carpal tunnel and arthritic pain,etc...this drug takes the edge off my pain so I can function and does not make me fuzzy or dizzy, no nausea or other side effects. Have noticed that I could use a stronger med on worst days, and use ibuprofin with Tramadol when arthritis flares up...but overall very satisfied. Helps me get on with normal activities without narcotics.

This medication Ultram (tramodol) causes pain in my stomach,each time i"ve tried taking it,i experienced nausea and vomiting. I had no choice but to tell my PCP NOT TO WRITE A PRESCRIPTION FOR THIS MEDICATION.

I have suffered from back pain for lots of yrs. I've been taking this drug for 17 yrs. When I stand up fast I get dizzy. Best side effect, it makes me feel good. I have suffered from depression for a long time. It works like a antidepresant for me~~I love it. I also take Abilify and cymbalta.

I have Muscular Dystrophy and due to immobility I suffer a lot of pain. I started taking Tramadol a year ago or longer, and after taking the drug for awhile it's no longer affective. So they have to up the dosage. I wont complain because Tramadol does help (a little) but it's like all the other pain medication. After taking it for awhile you build up a tolerance and it no longer does what it was prescribed to do.

To get rid of the nausea while taking Tramadol my Doctor prescribed Zofran 4 mgs and it really works, no nausea.

got mine in mexico and it works great

it helps releive pain

this drug works well for mod to severe pain. but trying to stop taking it, is a whole different story. i have taken for years and have suffered severe withdrawls. diarreha, restless leg syndrome, sleeplessness, all fromm trying to stop.

Has anyone else had problems urinating when taking this drug? I now know of 4 people who have had this side-effect and ended up with catheters, which didn't help much. They had to stop using this drug to return to normal urination.

relieved pain caused by car accident so that I cound begin motion therepies
