User Reviews for Tramadol

I had a total hip replacement and was expieriencing break thru pain My Doc added tramodol but later found it had bad drug interaction with the paxil I was taking, but it did help with break thru pain without making me nauseous

the problem is i like it too much. I am addicted to tramadol and have been for years. Coming off is intolerable, and I was not back to normal after stopping for one month once. I am depressed without it, and withdrawal is like that of oxycodone.

I use this drug 50mg 3x day due to a fractured L1 in my back which never healed right. So needless to say I am pretty much in constant pain. But to me I might as well take 2 tylenol and let me tell you the Tylenol doesn't effect it all and neither does the Tramadol. I have been on this medication a year now and do need to get off from it.

I have Osteoarthritis, bone spurs and cervical disk replacement c4c5. I started taking this drug about 3 yrs ago and does wonders for my pain and moods. I must admit it bothers me reading all these bad side effects being i take other medications as well but atleast i can work without being dizzy or feeling drugged up on the Tramadol. Its prescribed to me 50mg 1-2 every 8 hrs but i usualy just take one or two a day and use naproxen with it when needed then alternate with vicodan. I do this because i dont want to become so addicted to it and have to go thru what some here say they have or are going thru. All I can say is be careful and watch your body for signs of addiction. Doctors dont really pay attention to that stuff till its too late and we all have to be responsible for our own bodies and to communicate with or health professionalsRead More Read Less

I take 50mg 4 times a day for fibromyalgia and pain from 7 surgeries in 2 years including the reconstruction of both shoulders, C5 and C6 fusion, great toe fusion, and bilateral carpal tunnel release. I find that it seems to help the fibromyalgia which will then help with the post surgical pain. I also exercise as instructed and attend physical therapy as needed. I can't take aspirin or ibuprophen so I'm very limited in supplemental pain relievers. I also take Skelaxin which does not make me sleepy at all as flexeril did.Read More Read Less

I have been taking tramadol for about 7 months for arthridis in my knees and hip. I take only at night 50 mg and usually take it only about 4-5 nights a week. So far I have had no problems and it lets me sleep at night. The nights I don't take it, I take Aleve.

Stopped use due to damaging effects on the stomach and GI system. Slowly stopped taking the drug with no adverse effects

It hasn't controlled my pain levels after having a lumbar laminectomy.

I am taking 50MG tab, 3-4 times daily. Does not control my pain all that well.

still having pain, stiffness & nausa.

This medication hardly worked on my area of pain.

Do not be fooled!!! You can get addicted to this drug. The withdrawl symptoms are a living nightmare. Y ou will literally be up for days a t a time with jitters and muscle spasms.Very hard to get off of.

I am currently on the prescription Tramadol for Kidney pain and leg pain. I am satisfied that this is a non adctive drug, but as far as a pain reliever, not a choice for me but grateful to have the hope, it might work! Thank you, stonemkr

I'd rather suffer with pain, then not be able to sleep at night. I've taken this for about month and half, and the most sleep I get a one time is 4 hours. Then I cannot go back to sleep. Throwing them out now!!

doesn't help awhole lot with my pain, i take 50 mg

while taking tramadol i have had bad nights of racing thoughts, also i have a breathing problem that has been tested as heart trouble with no results.. after i stopped taking tramadol the sleep problems, breathing problems have gone.
