Here's the deal with Tramadol, folks. It can be a miracle drug for one person and a complete waste of time for another. Many people report poor results and they blame the drug, when they should be blaming their own body chemistry. I am in the miracle drug category. Thanks to Tramadol, I am now able to live pain free (Extremely rare testicular disorder requiring several surgeries). If you are ...

I was prescribed Tramadol today by my doctor for headaches and jaw pain. About an hour after taking one dose with plenty of water and after having eaten, I suddenly broke out in a sweat, felt dizzy and lightheaded, extremely nauseous, and my headache is worse than it has probably ever been. I feel miserable and my headache seems to be worsening. I will not be taking Tramadol again.

I have not had any type of side effects. I take it at the onset of headaches before they get too bad. It seems to be pretty effective.

Had knee replaced. Took it before and now after. Both times noticed that when it was in my system after taking for a few days, that I just sweat like crazy. After not taking it for a few days, the sweats go away. I work in a hospital in a sterile environment, and sweating there is NOT ideal. Has anyone else experienced a reaction like this?

I have been dealing with my rotator cuffs. Surgery was done on my right shoulder & currently getting ready for the same surgery on my left shoulder. The tramadol allows me to work till I can have the surgery. I don't get drowsy, or sleepy.

I have chronic cellulitis in both legs and Dr. prescribed Tramodol. I had no pain relief and had terrible side effects of nausea and vomitting. It is just not worth the problems to expect little pain relief.

Had a burning nerve pain in shoulder for years after a climbing accident. Like a hot poker being shoved into my back. Ultram knocks out the burning pain without making me feel "high" like some other pain meds such as Vicodin ES.

This has very little pain relief for me. The Dr has prescribed 1 every 6 hours I changed the dosage to 2 every 6 hrs and it works alot better. Although I can only take 1 at bedtime or they make me itch. Dr will not prescribe anything else.

Tramadol lessens my arthritic pain, but is ineffective on my headaches and migraine pain. Generic Tramadol is inexpensive. I'm not bothered by side effects.

This medication was less effective than I'd hoped and the side effects were very troublesome.
