User Reviews for Tramadol

Have sciatica nerve pain tramadol had no effect on it.

this medication made me: have heart palpatations,constant yawning,short calming effect,not as effective for spinal pain mgmt. gotta say the heart trouble was scary and i stopped immediately after that. i've put it on my allergic list at the pharmacy so i never go throught that again. my pcp pushed this onto me in the first place to replace my current pain med. since it is referred to as some kind of 'synthetic' drug, i will be wary of any like it in the future. be careful.

I took this med for severe menstrual cramps. It made me so lethargic, all I did was sleep. Also caused nausea, vomiting and itching. I would rather have cramps than take this medication.

I have taken Tramadol for years for my Fibromyalgia, and it worked very well. I now think it's working less due to me taking it so long. But out of all the medicines I've taken for my condition, it has been the most effective, and allow me close to a normal life style. I do worry about long time effect.

I liked the fact that it took away my pain, but after i was on it for a week, i started having seizures every time i took it. So be careful if your preexposed to seizures because this med will definatly bring them out!

I had bariatric surgery and can no longer take ibuphrophen for pain and am allergic to tylenol. was taking oxycodone for general pain like menstral cramps but was looking for something else just because of the addictive nature of that. dr recommended tramadol...said it could interfere with the Paxil(for anxiety) but thought i should try it. used 50 mg twice a day after carpal tunnel surgery, no major pain releif but no side effects. THIRD dose on an empty stomach (and a couple of hours after a few adult beverages)was throwing up, cold sweating, shaking, nausea...the most scarey 4 hours of my life...i will risk an ulcer and take advil...NEVER WILL EVER take Tramadol again!

After spinal surgery I chose Tramadol over the very expensive & highly addictive pain med (nucynta) I was getting in hospital and rehab. It worked pretty well except for daily constipation, but yesterday, nearly 3 months after surgery, I stopped taking Tramadol and went back to my regular pre-surgery anti-inflamatory pill (ketoprophen) for arthritis. Which works better for pain! But now I'm in withdrawal—the shakes, nausea and diarhea. Not good. Cannot recommend Tramadol.

it works good for the most part;I have had a sore throat and wrist and joint pain i wonder if this med has a side effect

Had foot surgery twice and had to have something for severe pain. This seems to be better than anything My doctor has tried.

I love this medication especially because it makes the pain go away, with a non drowsy effect. I am able to function so much better on this medication. I have noticed by other reviews how it affects them in a negative way, sorry to hear that guys. I do have withdrawals when I don't take this medication. Not nice at all.I have restlessness, can't sleep and my back pain hurts like heck. If I take this too late in the day I can't get to sleep. Sometimes it makes me itch too. Probably cause I didn't eat? Read More Read Less

No effect on muscular pain in ribs

I get as much relief from some yummy bubble gum. 100% useless. This medication is a total waste in MY opinion. Thanks for reading me & Good luck.

successful in treating chronic sinus pain

It does not work any better than cheaper pain medications. Under the AARP Drug Plan it costs over a $1.00 a pill.
