User Reviews for Tramadol

It stop the pain that i was having in my left knee when i tore the muscle and tendens and legaments

Has helped with severe neck pain due to arthritis and also with mild migranes. I do not like to take codine so this is great. After having hernia surgery, I was able to use tramadol to buffer the pain and it worked great.

side effects of severe headache; blurred vision and mental confusion.

This medication has made me extremely dizzy. Did not like it at all.

I have panic disorder, bipolar 2 and fibromyalgia so I take a lot of medicines. I have been taking Tramadol aka Ultram for 12 years for the pain. I do not experience a high, never did. It does help for my Fibromyalgia on a daily basis. but if I forget to take it or run out I experience flu like symptoms and my panic disorder returns even tho I have taken my Xanax. I am dependent on it but the doctors say not addicted because I take it as prescribed either way I feel like an addict.

I had a spinal fusion almost a decade ago, recently, I find myself in the sort of pain that I use to experience prior to my surgery. Because I work nights at a sleep lab, I cannot afford to take anything too strong or that will limit by cognitive abilities. Tramadol is the perfect pain reliever--not only does it alleviate the tension in my lower spine, it doesn't impair me in anyway.

My doctor neurologist presribe this along with Lyrica after the Lyrica did not get rid of all the pain for diabetic neuropathy. It has really made adifference. I can nowleep through the night and make it through the day without m feet beingin so much pain.

this medication makes Me feel fuzzy, confused, easily aggrevated, irratable amnd a upset stomach. i was prescribed this medication and I WON'T TAKE IT EVER AGAIN!

like it better than narcotics, seems to continue to work longer than narcotics if taken regularly.

releives pain within a short period of time

feel a bit removed from reality, vague, forgetful. It usually decreases my pain enough to where I can somewhat function. But, when I am severely flared up, it barely touches the pain even with 2 pills. I have no choice then but bedrest and trying to sleep.

Beware, Tramadol is addicting! First off, it is virtually useless for pain relief but it can (and does) cause its users to become addicted similar to opioid pain relievers.

Short term memory,lose of memory,repeating myself and not knowing about it

I was given Trammadol for FM. It did nothing for the pain. Also, My doctor has me on Cymbalta which is incompatable with Ultram. In fact, can be deadly. I will never take it again.

All Prescription and even OTC medications do not have the same effectiveness and side effects in all the people that take them. This is true for Tramadol, and as one patient said, they get 6 hours of relief, and I am lucky if I get 4 hours. Have taken Lortab then Percocet for 22 years. Seven (7) knee surgeries, L-3 & L-4 discs are dead and L-5 S-1 is really bad. I give presentations and speak to Hospital Groups, Drug Companies and Aerospace - I do not drink; but I don't miss a beat or even feel dizzy or sleepy or "out" of it. Went to Percocet because Lortab wasn't working as well after 16 years, but I take the smallest dose of both those meds, but I wanted to try Tramadol as it operates the same as the others - but is not a narcotic or a NSAID. The Acetaminophen is hard on Liver and Kidneys (even Stomach), read the label on it next time your in the store. That was another reason to try Tramadol, but it did not make a normal life possible. I tried it for 3 months, but Percocet dulls the pain to an Arthritis type "ache" and stops the sharp pain. Tramadol tries but falls short for me, and doesn't help with my Osteo-Arthritis even when I went to every 3 months on Cortisone shots, from every 6 months. Everybody on here was the reason I tried Tramadol, so I want to thank you all for taking the time to come here and write your experiences. Thanks for giving me the idea to try it.

This med has not done anything for my pain. I take 200-400mg a day and it's complete junk. I have heard other ppl have really bad side effects from it but so far I have not noticed anything. It's said that those of us who are really in pain can not get the help we need simply because of the drug addicts out there.

AT FIRST IT HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY, BUT NOW 2WKS LATER ITS NOT AS EFFECTIVE. ANY SUGGESTIONS??

I understand why Drs are prescribing this... they are leery of drug-seekers and are trying to prevent addiction to narcotics. Apparently, this is supposed to be a synthetic opiate. I firmly believe I could take the whole bottle with zero pain relief! I have started telling Drs when they prescribe this to me - don't bother, it doesn't work. Those of us that have legitimate pain management issues suffer for those that take advantage of the system. I have chronic severe migraines and severe arthritis in my lower back, and I have to basically beg for my narcotics for my relief. Tramadol sucks. My dog takes 50 mg when she needs pain relief if that tells you how potent it is.Read More Read Less
