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 ...

For years I have suffered severe constant back pain. Have tried everything, including chiropractic, warm water exercise, massage and nothing worked. Within three days of taking 50mg twice daily, the pain is almost entirely gone. I cant express my gratitude to my physician for prescribing this and the manufacturers for making this available. I am 62 and had been pretty active previously and now am back to my old self. Thanks to tramadol.

I was given Tramadol to take for shoulder pain. The first 3 days all I could do was sleep.I stopped taking it after one week. After that I was jittery and could not sleep at all for several days and nights. The shoulder pain eventually went away, but I haven't felt well since. I will never take this again. It seems to work for some. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Horrible experience with this drug. Gave me constant headaches, made the mistake of having one alcoholic drink on this medication and woke up with a migraine headache, vomiting, nausea, the works.

This medication has its Pros and its cons. I have found this medication to work better than opiates such as Vicodin and Loratab. Even better though is the fact that it puts you in a good mood without making you feel "High" like the other mentioned drugs. I found myself to be more outgoing, it eliminated my "Premature" issues in the bedroom and all together just put me in a better mood. To good to be true? Well maybe..Tramadol has a darker side and creates TERRIBLE withdrawl. DO NOT quit cold turkey and do not take so many that you run out before your refill. I made that mistake. Once your body gets accustomed to being on it you will HAVE to get tapered off. If you take it as prescribed you shouldnt have any major problems. If you end up testing the waters and start taking more than 200mg daily you'll be playing with fire...TRUST ME....Cold Sweats, restless limbs and insomnia, confusion and just lackluster for life and the list goes on..All in all a great medication, just be responsible or else you will have hell to pay.

Unfortunately I had a reaction to yet another pain medication. After taking just 4 pills, I broke out in rashes and the worst itching ever all over my body.

What I like the most about this medication is that you do not get the euphoric feeling you get from morphine.I also find that it doesn't effect your appetite,motor skills or make me drowsy.Its easy to take with very little or no side effects at all

Not total pain free, but easy use makes up for it. Ran out once and suffered with a few sleepless nights til I read the side effects of stopping this drug.

I was prescribed this for a cracked molar that had the nerve exposed, to use until I could see a dentist. I have found that it works fairly well to eliminate the pain quickly, but after about three hours it will make me so sleepy I can't keep my eyes open. It also has made me hallucinate on one occasion. Since these side effects are very troublesome, I cannot wait to get this tooth pulled so I can stop taking it.
