User Reviews for Tramadol

I was proscribed tramadol because vicoden and perks were very innoffective and gave me bad mood swings. While taking tramadol I haven't had a single mood swing and my pain is completely gone.

This medication has worked for me very well, with no side effects

pain and muscle stiffness due to arthritus

After four days taking 50mg twice a day, about 10 hours apart, the side effects were too disasterous to continue. I had loss of balance, extreme dizzines and nausea, ringing in my ears, some insomnia with 'alert' dreams, irritability, shakiness, and confusion. There was no discernable decrease in the conditions I have: carpal tunnel in the left wrist, degenerative lumbar spinal discs, ruptured cervical spine discs, and a tear in my shoulder and hip ligaments. At the end of the trial run with Tramadol, I was totally horizontal, unable to move or eat. If there was some pain relief, I might have toughed it out. But, alas,not. So, I will not take this drug again, but at this point, have no idea what I CAN take for the various pain I experience. Read More Read Less

They gave this to me because I cracked a rib. It relaxed me but about 4 hours later I was extremely thirsty and very nausiated. I had eaten before I took the medication like they said, and would have thought after 4 hours it wouldn't make me feel like that.

DARVOCET discontinued by FDA. It has worked for me for 44 years.... Tramadol- Easy to swallow, gave a very relaxed feeling but did NOT help the pain.Also produced one of the worst headaches I have ever had. I have discontinued usage of this product. Will now go to hydrocodone (which is TOO STRONG) for what I need it for.

doesnt relieve pain as well as narcotics. Makes me nauseous

I took 50 mg 2x/day for pain in my back. It works pretty good, but I still had some pain and it made me thirsty. No itching. No mood swings or feeling great with it like some report. Kind of gave me a head ache. I kind of thought I should take one more for better results, but I am afraid to. I don't love it, but don't hate it.

I received it from my Pain Manag. Doc. and for very bad Endometriosis and the same night my son found me on the couch with cereal all over me hunched over. The next thing I knew I was in an Ambulence. My dad carried me upstairs and it happened on December 22, 2009 so I do NOT RECOMMEND this medication because of the Seizure I had out of no where. I do not have a history of Seizuires in my family but I know that Tramadol does not work for me and I hope other people do BEWARE of it because it can cause a SEIZUIRE.Read More Read Less

HAS NO EFFECT THAT I CAN TELL

I was Prescribbed this medication for chronic persistent pain and it was totally ineffective.Ive been on it for approx.1 month

I have bi-polar disorder and was prescribed this medication for pain related to an on the job injury. I am not on any other meds incl. any for bi-polar and after two days of taking this medication as prescribed, had a homicidal episode and nearly stabbed a man with a steak knife while eating dinner with my family. If you have any symptoms of bi-polar, I would suggest not taking this medication for any reason.

When I was first prescribed Tramadol,approximately 7 years ago it worked just fine , but over the years it has lost it's effectiveness

Rather than lowering my pain level, Tramadol lowered my seizure threshold. I am off the drug and still suffer from seizures. BEWARE!!!

I have been on this med for about a week after being on Opiates for over a year. I stopped taking the opiates and this drug has worked magnificently to relieve my pain. The only downside is that every once in a while I get a headache, but overall a wonderful little pill.

I take 1-2 tabs every other day. If taken to often I don't get the relief desired. No stomach upset. Used with Icy Hot on achy sore muscles, I can get thru the day!

I have been on this medicine for 3yrs now for ovarian cysts and endometriosis and two bad knees. I love the medicine but wonder why i can take it one day and be ok, but then the next have nausea, headaches, itching, curbed appetite, dizziness and bad mood swings? My days vary with the medicine but i have more good than bad days with it. I use it only when needed. It has helped with the pain relief but getting tired of the headaches and loss of hunger.. Take at your own risk! Its highly addictive also!Read More Read Less
