User Reviews for Tramadol

I got a prescription for Tramadol from the emergency room. I took one dose and from there the entire night was AWFUL. It started off with mild irritability and anxiety which turned into a strange sense of impending doom and I could not get myself calm. I tried to lay down but didn't sleep, rather I blacked out and when I came to consciousness I couldn't talk or move my body at all for several minutes. I was terrified and didn't realize I was having a seizure, I had no idea what was going on. Finally I was able to yell out some slurred gibberish and get my mom's attention. I had the second seizure in front of her. After what felt like hours later I fell asleep feeling like I had been hit by a truck and had the most realistic, terrifying nightmares I'd ever experienced in my life. I woke up the next morning feeling traumatized and it took a good two days to feel completely normal again. I should mention that I have never had a seizure before that day nor since then. Did it help my pain? Slightly. Definitely not enough to make it worth going through all of that. Honestly it would be better not to take anything at all if this were your only option.Read More Read Less

Didnâ??t rich the neevevosin ! Wasteful

I was prescribed this for the nerve pain that accompanies shingles. This did nothing for my pain. It just made me loopy! There has to be better medications for people with nerve pain. Not to mention that thanks to the addicts you can only get a three day supply so while you're in so much pain you can't drive you have to keep going back for a new script.

Tramadol does help a bit with the ghost pain in my hand but, it does absolutely nothing for my chronic sciatic pain in my right leg.

I couldn't be happier with this medication. I take 2 50 mg a day for pain and it takes it away.

After my neck fusion to my cervical C5,6,7, bone spur removal, and spinal stenosis plus suffering from ankylosing spondylitis I was on dilaudid for 2 weeks post op, at my 2 week follow up I asked to taper to percocet, several weeks later I then asked to taper to tramadol and Celebrex. 9 months later my neck feels better but living with AS, which there is no cure, can be debilitating. The occasional tramadol and daily Celebrex have worked wonders for me at this time. Prior to my cervical fusion 4 years prior I had a Lumbar L4-5 fusion which finally has healed as well. Tramadol may not be for everyone or work on everyone but I've had good results. You have to figure out what least amount of mind alternating drug works for you. If it's truly for pain that a person is taking it for it should bind to the pain receptors and help with the pain. If it's not for pain then it doesn't have a receptor to bind to causing a "high". If it doesn't work the receptor in your brain may need a different medication to bind to, to help relieve the pain you are having. Remember there are many different medications for this reason. And always remember it's usually not likely to have "0-10" pain rating. Most people have pain and suffering of some sort and everyone reacts to pain differently then the next person. I've been giving pills to people for 20 years as a nurse as well and never once have seen tramadol have negative side effects such as: seizures, etc. Hope this helps.. :)Read More Read Less

Try being perscribed 120 20MG OxyCodone a month and then out of the blue your doctor says well the DEA thinks opioids are the devil so now i gotta give you this garbage. The rapid detox almost made me kill myself. This is not a drug for someone on long term heavy hitters.

It’s been ok but had others that worked better

Severe neuropathic pain in left leg into my toes. Nerves always feel like they are on fire, yet I cannot feel anything when a nerve test is done ! This drug does nothing to help me. 50mg every 6 hrs was prescribed. I took 2 within an hour because my nerve pain was at its worst ! Still no relief.

Pain relief was minimal. I had almost all the side-affects - dry mouth, nausea, constipation, frequent urination, and tiredness. Better off taking aspirin.

I have been taking Tramadol for five years for my rheumatoid arthritis pain. I wouldn't be able to do much of anything without it! I take just half a pill and it takes the edge off so I can function. I suddenly feel more energy so it does wake me up instead of sleep, so I cannot take it after 4pm. I love my tramadol!!

I asked my doctor for pain relief that was stronger than Aleve but not a narcotic. I have DDD (degenerative disc disease) and severe pain in my back. Dr prescribed 50mg of Tramadol 3xday. Useless. Absolutely useless. Two Aleve work better for pain relief. As for getting euphoric that doesn�t happen to me. I don�t know what to do now. I need some relief. Any suggestions out there?

I get the ones Mfg Virtus Pharmacey. It is oval and white and has 101 on top. There are other companys that make them , they are NOT the same. This is the only one that helps my pain.

I have been diagnosed with so many issues. Iâ??ve been on Tramadol for years now and it helps with my chronic pain. Iâ??ve been trying to wean myself off this drug like I did with a drug called Gabapentin. So Iâ??ve been breaking them in half. My 4 a Day is down to 3. But I read a review from someone who enlightened me greatly. I too have right-sided STABBING abdominal pain for almost 5 years now and FINALLY, after 11 specialists, been diagnosed with Myofascial pelvic floor pain. My stretches from PT help GREATLY! But could my abdominal pain be from Tramadol? OMG, I wish I could be sure. Tramadol helps with my fibromyalgia pain. Also, taking an Aleve once in a while helps too. But I try, EVERY SINGLE DAY, to push through the pain to be more active. We just have to move but moving is painful. Iâ??ve been treadmilling 30 minutes almost daily and I weight train whenever I can. Chronic pain sucks. Keep thinking positive thoughts though. Please donâ??t give up!Read More Read Less

Thanks to Govt im in pain everyday this is like taking a tic tac no effect

It helped for a couple days than my mouth & tongue broke out in sores and I started get upset stomach & worsen pain

If you are sensitive and easily have allergic reactions to medications do not take. I had bad side effects excluding terrible headaches. Did not help with my chronic nerve pain.

Does not have any effect whatsoever on my pain. I'm better off taking an aspirin.

I have ankylosing spondylitis and 8 to 10 grade pain for 49 years.I'm 69 years old. The Ultram that I Was taking in full strength(2 pill every 4 hours)was the only thing that helped me. Now I get 1 pill every 8 hours and my grade 10 is back! Thanks to the Government. NOW THAT GOVERNMENT ARE THE DOCTORS!
