User Reviews for Tramadol

I was put on Tramadol when Vicadin was banned. I have FM,OA,bursitis,and deg disc desease....tramadol does not help with pain and makes me feel sick and i always have a headache...If this drug has bad side effects or withdrawal, i would like any suggestions on what I can take or what has helped.

I had a seizure from taking this!! Be very very careful also stopped breathing

This medicine is a gift to mankind from the medical research Gods! I have chronic back pain due to herniated disks, bone spurs, stenosis, spondylolisthesis, etc., some from old HS and college sports injuries. I take 1 or 2 (sometimes 3) a day (50 MG) with either Relafen or Advil and it allows me to stay active, work, and play tennis almost every day at 66. It does give me a euphoric feeling and "makes" me talk more than I usually do as it puts me in a better mood. Part of being in a better mood, of course, is because it blocks whatever almost all of the pain I would otherwise have. If I take it too late in the evening it does keep me awake sometimes, like Vicodin does...does that is such a mild downside for the overwhelming benefits of this wonderful drug. Thank you modern drug science!Read More Read Less

I was dx with fibromyalgia 2 years ago and have tried many combonations of meds. The tramadol w ibuprophren work very very well together.

great for fibromyalgia pain. Does not upset stomach like antinflamatory pills

does tramadol contain aspirin, ibophron?

i am able to work a full day at work!!

it did nothing even at twice the recommended dosage and it was very expensive.

It works fine on my pain. It used 2 make me nauseous til I started 2 eat 1st b4 taking it. KILLS my abilitiy 2 achieve an erection.

The withdrawle symptoms were unbelieveable. Made me very jittery and unable to sleep for several days.

No pain after taking this pill. First tine in six months. Love it. But I am dizzy, tired. And nauseated.

I have been taking for nearly a year and just recently figured out that it was responsible in part for poor sleep, I would awake after only a couple of hours and find it hard to get back to sleep. After switching to percocet at night I am staying asleep, but still not waking up refreshed.

Since a teen, I experienced back pain due to a back injury, surgery and subsequent arthritis, nerve damage. NOTHING including narcotics removed or alleviated the pain until I started on Ultram. It works to totally relieve my back pain.

I have been on this medication for almost ten years now and it does help. I dont do well with extreme meds like vicodin and all in that area. This medicine doesnt make me sick to my stomach or extremely tired, however, being on it for so long, I do experience withdrawl symptoms. If I dont take it 4 times a day like im prescribed, I notice a difference. I quit taking it all together one time and my headaches worsened and I experienced restlessness, leg cramping and sweats. I decided to continue the meds and my headaches cleared up once again, but I dont recommend quiting cold turkey if you have been on this medicine for an extended period of time. Pain wise, it does the job and doesnt make you weird feeling or jittery. I would give it a 4 rating.....Read More Read Less

Tramadol is indicated for moderate to severe pain. It does not touch the pain I have--fibromyalgia, disk disintegration, arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, crohn's disease, iritis, chronic stenosing tenosynovitis--for starters. I take it faithfully, however, it is cheap, and the alternatives are worse.

I am a 44yr old male and have severe ankloysing Spondilitis. RA with fusion of the joints, I receive a remicade injection every six weeks and also take Tramadol. Tramadol has helped extremely well with no side effect to date.

I took tramadol for three days and had 2 siezures from it. I would suggest they never prescribe it to anyone. And it didn't even touch the pain. Overall scarey and ineffective.

I get dizzy and constipated, but I assume it's due to all the drugs I take at one time.
