User Reviews for Tramadol

Helps along w naproxen for chronic back pain. Works better than cymbalta or pristiq that I take now on mood. Could definitely be addictive, haven't taken more than 50mg at 4 pm after long day or sitting. Makes you forget pain but does not heal like pt or exercise. Don't want to take more than needed for pain and of you take too late in day I can't sleep. Lasts full 6 hours.

I was taking the 50mg dose 3x daily, along with percocet for chronic pain. This medication simply did nothing for my pain. In fact after 3 weeks of use, caused multiple convulsive seizures which hospitalized me for 3 days with tachycardia, and memory loss.

find the tramadol does not take affect quick enough or last long enough

This medication has worked very well for fibro muscle pain and fatigue. When joint pain increases, this medication does not work as well.

Works great for my osteoarthritis

sharp pain that move down my legs

It makes me very sleepy, but like the fact I can take it, on an empty stomach. I have fibromyagia.

i have taken this medication for about three yrs, it works on chronic back really well. but as time goes my body needs more to stop hurting. the amount to take i believe is no more than 400 mgs a day. i need more, as a matter of fact i now needs twice the amount. i dont want narcotics. will more tramadol hurt my body thanks for all comments. i have a checkup coming oh in didnt mention, i had a disectomy 23 yrs ago. the surgery went well and i was veryy young so healed nicely. but over the last ten years. it really hurts. you know this veribrate rubbingRead More Read Less

I find this medicine to make me feel itchy and hyper. This is the "pain" medicine that doctors want to push for those in pain cause they don't want to be held responsible for prescribing narcotic pain medicines. Those that suffer from chronic pain know that tramadol does not offer the same relief such as Lortab or Vicodine. Those that suffer from chronic pain more than likely do not get relief with this drug and are finding doctors refuse to prescribe anything else. Then speak to you as if you should be ashamed that you are asking for a stronger method of pain reliever. No wonder chronic pain users are turning to canibas!Read More Read Less

Originally prescribed for muscle spasms in my back, I now take Tramadol for osteoarthritis in my neck. Combined with ibuprofen, the pain in my neck (along with my back and knees) is very manageable. My only complaint is that I cannot take it at work due to how "loopy" it makes me. Other than that, it's great.

I have Fibromyalgia, and before I had lost my health insurance, my M.D. had put me on Tramadol 50MG (that I can take up to 3x/day if I needed to) & Flexeril. I only, still, take 10MG/day. Well, it seemed to have helped at first, but now I'm not so sure? The M.D. that I have now (assigned by FL state, through a "sort of" health insurance) doesn't really want to mess with these medications. I don't blame her. She says I need to see a Rheumotologist for this. However, this health plan doesn't have one :-( Well, the Rheumo. M.D. that I had been seeing, said I can take the Tramadol up to 3x/day if I wanted. So should I increase my taking of it, from 1 to maybe 2x/day and see what happens? Should I perhaps ask my current M.D. for Tramadol ER?...What would help me (especially so that I can get my sleep)???Read More Read Less

I simply did not get any pain relief with this drug.

fibro-m symptoms for years. lyrica worked though fog and lethargy caused me to discontinue. savella was not tollerable. tram allows me to stretch and mild exercise able to work and be productive.

I have taken tramadol for 4 years now as a only when it's needed drug.For migraine headaches and muscle aches and pains. It does the job but does cause some mild dizziness.

I have Osteoarthritis In just about every joint and degenerative disc and joint disease. I have been taking tramadol for about a year. At first it made me sleepy and feeling weird but now it gives me alot of energy and makes me feel on top of the world but I feel itchy all over especially when I go to bed at night and am relaxed and it does make me not want to sleep. Sometimes it gives me horrible headaches.

I have been taking Tramadol 50mg for over a year. I have been prescribed one every 4 to 6 hours, but have found I only require 1 or 2 a day to make my pain level manageble. Without it I would be unable to function. It is wonderful and I have had no side effects other than constipation that I remedy with Senna from CVS pharmacy and glcerin suppositories when needed.
