User Reviews for Tramadol

I feel no relief with fifty mg q four hours as needed. Am hoping over time it may improve as I have used it only about three weeks. Hydrocodone also worked well but apparently so many people abuse that, that it is difficult to get anymore.

fibromyalgia beginning to not respond to tramadol to ease pain

I have severe RA and I take this with a muscle relaxer and most of the time it works for me. I don't have many alternatives as I can't take anything with codeine or hydrocodone in it. It has been a lifesaver for me with no side effects.

I've Been On This Medicine For 2 Months Of Severe Back Pain. It Works Great For Me. My Doctor Told Me To Stay On It. Kathleen S.

I have gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach), which results in a lot of nausea and pain. I don't take tramadol every day but I take 50 mg when the pain gets bad from it. Usually it works and the pain feels a lot better and either I have much less pain or the pain goes away. If it gets really bad I take oxycodone, but I try very hard to stay away from that because of its addictive potential. I realize tramadol is addicting, too, so I only take it when it's absolutely necessary for the pain. I gave it a 4 because most of the time it has worked well, except for about 2 times. I have not had any side effects or problems taking it.Read More Read Less

I have a high tolerance to pain meds. and my dr. gave me Tramadol HCL 50mg. this is a Total waste of my time and $$$$$$

I took this medicine for about 3 weeks. It caused problems with memory and cloudy thinking. My doctor said not to use it.

Tramadol causes a very sick upset stomach, ,leaves a bad taste in mouth, Headaches and choking systems. Doesn't kill pain . It just doesn't work on me

I actually joined this site to warn people of a couple of drugs and this is one of them. Not only did my intense back pain go untouched- but 1) I got a migraine(and I do not usually even get headaches!) and I was very nauseous! I thought there is no way to have such a poor reaction- that something else MUST have caused all that - so I did try it a second time- and I was taking the low end of the dose prescribed. Again- MIGRAINE NAUSEA and no pain relief for my back. I once mentioned this to an emergency vet as so many animals are prescribed this by vets- and she said she was not surprised and said she "hated tramadol" which is the first time I ever heard a vet say that..Read More Read Less

I was given this for a herniated disc and nerve pain. I do not like taking opiates so this was a good alternative for me and good pain reliever.

I have been taking this for awhile now, I cant believe its a controlled drug, it just barely takes the edge off. But they wont give me anything else.

Tramadol works in the beginning for my arthritis pain but lost its effectiveness after a year or so without increasing the dosage significantly. Then getting off was like having the flu with additional rls included.

I found this medication to be virtually worthless for my mild to moderate pain - chronic neck pain due to disk degenerative disease and multiple neck surgeries.

Have herniated disc. pain can get pretty bad. this medicine helps without making me sleepy like the other pain medicines they have given me. I really like the results I have had with this.

Without using this Medication I could not cope with the pain levels. Therefore it enables me to move around without it is not possible.

Tramadol kept me in the rat-race. Severe pain from pes cavus, a foot condition. 300 to 400 mg before 1st period. It kept me on my feet until around 1700 hours. I teach high school. No side effects and still using after nine years.

Tramadol is a great option for reducing chronic back and leg pain, especially at night. On particularly bad nights, I couple it with Aleve for the best results. I have experienced no side effects from Tramadol.
