User Reviews for Tramadol

Be VERY careful with Tramadol. Very effective for lower back pain, impinged shoulders and chronic headaches. The real danger is that it's seriously addicting, and you have to wean yourself off of it gradually or will suffer uncomfortable withdrawls. This drug is NOT scheduled and can be purchased on the Internet. My Doctor won't prescribe it..preferring Vicodin instead. FYI. In some countries, you can actually buy this OTC!!! It IS effective for most people, but can cause seizures if taken in large doses, and constipation is a given!! Read More Read Less

I am diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in both knees. I used to have to crawl unstairs to go to bed. Now I can walk up the stairs normally. It has given me back quality in my life. I don't know how I could live without it.

does not relieve pain as ewll as other pain meds

I personally feel like I need something a little stronger

I've taken tramadol for over 3 years. It has helped me completly without other meds. I have had to take more than prescribed on some days(4 - 6). Recently Dr.'s prescibed LYRICA (bad swelling and weight gain) then was on Neurotin(same problem) and had to take as many as 8 Tramadol daily to relieve pain. Now taking tylenol 3 and I am able to move comfortably with 3 to 5 Tramadol daily. Tramadol has made my life better. My biggest complaint would be muscle tension and becoming irritable at times. I get tired and start to hurt from over doing it. With Tramadol it is easy to over work yourself. Read More Read Less

ALERT WITH ENRGY AND FOCUS. I USE IT FOR SLEEP APNEA AND IT WORKS I DONT NO WY.

Like one other person posted, tramadol makes me itch. I had to take a xanax to knock me out the itching was so bad. On a happier note, my migraine was relieved by at least 50% percent. I have noticed that the more I take it, the itching seems to be less severe. My doctor kept me on this medication, but also put me on Topamax which works great if you suffer from migraines, but everything taste metallic and it takes your appetite, my only problem with topamax, is I don't feel like myself when I take it.. I am very irritable and moody. Maybe, if I can stick with it a little longer the side effects will subside. I am willing to give it a try for almost completely wiping out the migraines, hopefully after another week or so the nasty side affects will go away, but yes, you will lose mega weight, so that is a plus for me. I have gained 20 lbs since last sumer. Went from 125 pounds to almost 150 and I am 5"4. One last thing tramadol makes me sleepy, took one when I was driving, just out running around errands with my twins and I almost fell asleep at the wheel... I also take vyvanse 70 mg and adderall 25 mg 3 x per day, so it was insane it knocked me out..Read More Read Less

Just started taking this last night and am up at 4 a.m. with itching and unable to sleep. Been reading these reviews and seeing that I am not the only itchy person. Will this just go away or will I need a counterdrug to stop this itching?

I've been on Tramadol for a long long time.It helps alot but I find myself needing more of the drug to get the same pain relief.And when I don't have it I get jittery and have horrible restless leg,but in my arms!I have TMJ that requires surgery but my insurance won't cover it.I hope my doctor can find something else for me cause it just isn't working anymore.

Taking for pain in back due from a work injury. Told doctor it wasn't working for me and he told me there wasn;t anything else he could do and then wrote out a prescription for more. Since then have turned him into workers comp., dept. of labor, and to my lawyer.

I've been on tramadol 50 mg 3 times a day for almost a year, and it works great fr my migraines! The only problem is when i dont want to take it, my heart rate severly increases and i get anxious and cant sleep, so im forced to take the pill even when i dont want to. im afraid my body is becoming dependant on it. Hw do i stop taking it without the side effects?

i have use this drug and it dont help my pain at all. i would not recommended this drug to anyone that have servere pain.

This medication never did anything to help me.

developed severe itching, hives and skin blisters x3 days a few hours after taking 50mg oraly
