User Reviews for Tramadol

Sometimes my legs and shoulders and back are so stiff and in pain when I wake up that I walk like I'm 80 and all bent over and limping. (I'm 36) I'm allergic to some pain medicines and the doctor tried many before I started taking tramadol. It works great, I dont get nautious, or tired, no medicine head. I can take it and still go to work painfree, not tightness in my back. It does make it hard for me to go to sleep sometimes, I start to fall asleep and my body will jerk back awake suddenly. But thats better than trying to work as a waitress with a limp. If I have no pain, I dont feel the need to take it. With other painkillers like Percocet, I would want to take them every day whether I needed or not. Read More Read Less

I got night sweats the night I took them & was severely nauseted the next day & 3 days later I still have feelings of nausea.

I have arthritis and fibromyalgia. My doctor won't give me hydrocodone, but will give me Tramadol. I have the same bottle I've had for over a year and I only take one in desperation. I hate it. It makes me anxious and nauseous. As someone else said...proceed with caution. YUCK!

I had some severe back pain and was perscribed Tramadol. I kept with the lowest dose my doctor recommended, and only take it once a week or less. I honestly feel fantastic, on this medicine. There are few medicines out there that I would prefer to Tramadol. I don't feel groggy or "hit by a brick" afterward either. I do have to watch where I might be while taking it, as it does make me rather sleepy and occasionally a bit dizzy. It's a good thing, but you don't want to be driving or operating a forklift when the medicine takes effect. Read More Read Less

actually was prescribed this for my dog whose right rear leg has torn ligements (sp?) and we can not afford the surgery to correct the problem, so we are trying to make the quality of her life as less painful as possible. Since taking this drug, she is able to get around, and do normal daily bodily functions with much more ease than before she started taking this drug. Her appitite is good and she never cries, ever, she seems quite content. And we believe this is due to the pain meds she is taking.Read More Read Less

I use mine for arthritis., My Knee's are bad....

I have Fibromyalgia, nothing has worked in the past infact other pain meds made it worse. Tramadol WORKS. It gives me more energy and I can do things I haven't done in years!! I do have to take it with benedryl though or I have allergic reactions but it is worth having NO PAIN!

rt knee pain after exercise.

I have taken this medication for 10+ yrs. It worked wonderful for me, until now. I had been pain free for yrs. and now I don't know what to do since this wonder drug has quit working for me.... I choose not to take anything that makes me disfunctional since I am a mother!

I work in a hospital pharmacy and we have just put tramadol in the control pyxis. I have been on tramadol 3 times daily for 3 years and haven't realized how much it has helped me until I tried to get off it....the withdrawal symptoms are pretty bad, and I have been worried that it would be a control soon. I think I'll stay on this drug, like I said, it really helps me with my pain and general attitude.

Tramadol helps with my fibromyalgia better than anything else.

Part of my regimen for my fibro. Long period of trial and error showed me I can NOT use just any generic of the drug. But I am able to increase and decrease dosage as needed without side effects. This is important... since then I can use it as MY body dictates rather than as a set prescription does. My doctor works with me, writing the script for the maximum dosage he feels is best. On average I use less, allowing for increases when the pain level deems it necessary. Works super for me.

Got my 1st script filled yesterday. Took 1 50 mg pill. 3 hours later walked by husband and stopped dead in my tracks.he asked what was wrong. I told him my back did not hurt any more!! I haven't felt this good in years. I feel like a new person. I didn't realize how much pain I was in until it stopped. Fantastic results for me. I can't wait to tell me doctor.

taken 4 weeks, still no change, still have lower back pain & in hips, + feet still feel like there asleep, walking 50 ft. hurts in lower right back & hips, down 2 toes, lean forward ouch!! Don't drink, maybe i should, sleeping on floor, no help, don't think much of this pill.

I've only taken 2 doses, so far not much relief. Constant joint pain all over and my left side is partially numb from nerve damage. Just came off of hydroodone 5/500 taking 1 1/2 every 3 hours and drinking Jim Beam with it and no pain relief at all. Doc thought this would work better for me, we will see, but so far nothing at all like hydrocodone. At least it worked a little bit with 2 shots of Beam to help it along. It was working for the worst of the pain. Don't take hydro and Beam unless you know what you are really doing. The combination of the 2 can be lethal, but I know my limits. Read More Read Less

Ok ... so what is up with this drug? Ky banned it according to one user (and classified it a ScheduleI or something), it has all the same side fx as opiates, all the same w/drawal symptoms. Is perscribed for all the same reasons as, say, Tylenol III or Oxycodone or Hydrocodone, codeine ...etc. So what's the skinny? Is it a narcotic or not? I took some (forget the mg strength) and it worked good for my back pain - I couldn't tell if it was binding to my opiate receptors or not (I took 3, they were oblong white tabs). It walks like a duck, acts like a duck, talks like a duck... so is it a duck or what??? Or is it like buprenorphrine and mimicks the chemical structure of narcotics so it tricks your brain into thinking you are getting morphine hydrochloride, when in fact it is just a chemically-induced placebo.Read More Read Less

this pain medication has helped my feet pain, does not take it away but helps ease it. but I have one major problem that is Allergy to it and other pain medication.

I have two bulging discs and arthritis in my back. Have suffered for years with back pain and hydrocodones DO NOT touch the pain. Tramadol is my wonder pain med. Thank you so much for making Tramadol.
