OK reviews of tramadol for Pain

8.0

tramadol for Pain: I used this for significant body pains, and had great results. Tramadol was described by my doc as a ‘notch below’ Vicoden. The more you take, the queasier you get and my appetite was supressed, so I lost some weight. Yes, it caused MAJOR constipation which made me miserable at first, but this was resolved with 3 flaxseed oil capsules, a couple Fiber One bars, and a lot of water every day. (Seriously, this was my miracle cure.) The tramadol also had me waking up every hour at night.

tramadol for Pain: I have to agree with the other reviewer who described less aggressiveness when taking Tramadol. I was originally prescribed this for back pain, but have come to desire it more for its mood altering capabilities. It’s stated that this product has a "very weak but rapidly acting serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor." I’ve noticed that I no longer throw tantrums and that I’m in general a much calmer individual. I do however wonder what the price is in the long run in terms of dependency.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, so am in fairly constant pain. Ultram has really been a lifesaver, allowing me to work and play. Headache is sometimes a problem, but I think almost always in combination with caffiene.

tramadol for Pain: I broke my back and my leg 2 years ago. For a while I tried to keep working w/o any type of pain supprescent, but as I started getting busier I had to do something. I started taking Tramadol I can limit myself to two pills a day only taking them at lunch time they do a great job at just helping me make it through the end of the day. BUT I noticed after a while I had to start taking them on the weekends too otherwise I would get an upset stomach, diarrhea, and would have a hard time sleeping.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I’ve recently gone off Lortab and have started taking Ultram. Initially I was worried about the side affects and with Lortab withdrawl (I have bursitis and a frozen shoulder). Well this medicine works far better for my shoulder and back and over all pain, everyone can tell the diffence in me. I too can’t be without it. They are now talking about surgery next month. So we will see.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I have been using this for almost a year now for peripheral neuropathy pain. This along with Lyrica and Pamalor have finally made it possible to live with somewhat normal levels of pain. Don’t want to be without it.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: New reports are claiming Ultram to be highly addictive – the FDA must have decided that the drug works to well and it is too cheap so they put out these reports.I have never felt anything that would make me addicted except pain relief that enables me to perform my daily tasks. People need to speak up quickly. My Doctor has decided he wants me to try Elavil which caused rapid weight gain and Cymbalta or Celebrex (very expensive – hmmm!) which caused sexual dysfunction and I felt like a zombie.

tramadol for Pain: I have been prescribed Tramadol for the past 5 years and it has completly relieved my back pain. I have stopped a few times, but the pain returned. Initially I took 2 x 50mg tablets a day, but now need 3 x 50mg a day to get the same relief. I had a feeling of euphoria and some anxiety side effects during the 1st year, but now these have gone and I just get the pain relief. I do have mild withdrawal symptoms if I discontinue the Tramadol, which I do every few months for a few days. The withdrawal is in the form of anxiety and an uncomfortable feeling for a couple of days, but nothing that I can not easily put up with. Breaking the continuity of use for a few days is good to prevent more severe withdrawal I believe, but Tramadol is still the best and most effective pain reliever I have tried and I plan to continue using it.

tramadol for Pain: I’ve been suffering from joint pain so severe that some days I can’t walk. I suffer from poly arthritis. I’ve tried many medications that treat arthritis pain and none have worked except for tramadol. I highly recommend this for chronic pain management. The side effects are few and mild. I also agree with the statements that it effects your mood, making you feel more calm and happy. This drug has been a lifesaver, allowing me to continue to function at a much higher level than without it.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I have diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis with 24-7 all over pain. My lower back pain is very severe and cannot be helped by surgery due to the extent of damage there. I am usually unable to walk due to the pain in my back, hips, knees and leg muscles. I take Ultram 100. My doctor prescribed it starting with 1 at night for 3 days, then 2 for 3 days, then up to 3 per day. I do fine with 2 and received an amazing amount of relief and sleep. I am very sensitive to pain medicine, very hard to take. I prefer to just take 1 now mostly and also take Ibuprofen during the day as well. It helps excessive pain and headache.

tramadol for Pain: Very good drug added to my daily NSAID by my doctor when my pain was limiting my daily functioning. There is no feeling of dizziness or high on drugs. It’s helped me for several years now. Only the brand name Ultram, comes in once a day dosing but that is the best for getting a good nights sleep if you have chronic pain through the night.

tramadol for Pain: I was prescribed this to help with RA and Periphreal Neuropathy in my feet. My script is 50mg, I take one at night. I also take Gabapentin 300mg at night. The pain is much better, but I have horrible hangovers. I don’t know which is the problem, but I don’t want to stop because my pain is tolerable now.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: Contrary to what I’ve read on some forums this is NOT a strong NSAID. It is a pain medicine (read the insert). It works partially by working on the opiate receptors in the brain. You may a teeny tiny bit euphoric the first time. That said I found it very good for moderate to moderately severe spinal degeneration pain and have been prescribed this for a few years. I take it in addition to an NSAID, athritis strength Tylenol and muscle relaxants (as needed) but this was a Godsend for a long time. The limit is 400mg a day.

tramadol for Pain: I having been taking Tramadol for the past two years for abdominal pain due to excessive scar tissue from 5 surgeries. It has been great for everyday mild pain. I have no side effects at all. Unfortunately no loss of appetite! However, when my pain is severe this doesn’t quite cut it and it hasn’t ever really done anything for my back pain, which tends to flare up often.

Ultram ER (tramadol) for Pain: I had spinal fusion in lower lumbar region 9 years ago. I was fine until August ’08. I had such severe sciatic pain doctor progressively put me on Ultram ER 200mg 1x / day. It worked great. Pain went away after 4 months. I stopped taking Ultram and now I am dealing with withdrawal symptoms. PAY ATTENTION to warnings about long term usage.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I take Ultram for degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine,(spinal stenosis, dry disc) and for neck pain from auto accidents and sterno and acromioclavicular joint pain from open heart surgery. It is the only thing I have used that works and gives me 8 hours of sleep. I only take it when the pain gets intolerable and renders sleep impossible. Have no withdrawal and the only side effect is constipation. I highly recommend Tramadol. It helped me more than anything else.

tramadol for Pain: My doctor prescribed Tramadol for a painful displaced shoulder 50mg twice a day. My shoulder healed but I then realized that the constant achy legs and feet that I was experiencing, especially at bedtime was completely gone and I continued to use. I read up on this medicine and did become apprehensive, but when I visited my Doctor and explained the situation she said there was no harm. Yes, if you don’t use regularly, you will get uncomfortable side effects, but when my legs and feet start aching again, it takes about 2 doses before it goes away again. My Doctor didn’t not speak of any harm in taking this medicine on a regular basis. It does also seem to keep me on an even keel.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I suffer from chronic back and neck pain and I find that it works as well as Vicodin or Percodan. The only big side effect that I get from this medicine is the fact that I am sleepy the next day. I don’t find it addictive but then I only try and take it when I can’t sleep because of the pain

tramadol for Pain: I had a cervical (neck) fusion about 20 years ago then in 2004 had a road traffic accident fracturing 3 of my lower spine traverse processes. The accident exacerbated the old neck problems. Could get through the day, but began to dread bedtime because I knew I would be sleepless and in pain. I tried everything. Ibuprofen, diclofenic, cocktails of Paracetamol/Co-codomol. Even getting up at 3am for another dose. I now take a 100mg Tramadol each night, and it seems to be working. I get a decent nights sleep, but am worried about getting hooked on it.

tramadol for Pain: Tramadol is by far the best pain medication I have had yet. The only down fall for me is it causes extreme fatigue/mood swings the next day. It is a fast acting drug. I could definitely tell a difference in my pain – it was the mildest it has been in months.

Ultram (tramadol) for : I have been taking Ultram for about a month now. I had hip surgery in November 2008 and am still having some residual pain. It gets severe at times. Ultram works wonders, though ever time I take it, I do get very euphoric and excited. This lasts about 2 hours. This symptom has not decreased since I have been taking it, but has never interfered with driving or other activities.

Ultram ER (tramadol) for Pain: I am now 19 years old. 2 years out of HIgh School I severely broke my hand from a fight. I have never felt so much pain in my life. I underwent 3 surgeries, 3 plates and 24 screws later my hand was somewhat normal still a lot of pain. Now im getting ready to leave for the United States AirForce and can not take narcotic pain medication. My doctor recommended 200mg Ultram ER. IT WORKS WONDERS and it doesn’t show in my drug screening. I never thought I could take one pill a day and be pain free.

tramadol for Pain: ZALDIAR- 37.5 mg tramadol/ 325mg paracetamol -tablets were prescribed to me every 4-6 hours for chronic pain following a severe leg infection and ulceration that wouldn’t heal. I tried other over the counter pills including paracetamol, but couldn’t sleep at night or concentrate on anything with the pain. ZALDIAR has been great – provided you don’t forget to take it. If you do the pain comes back very quickly. Side effects so far – very dry, horrible tasting mouth, loss of appetite (a good thing) and feel a little confused at times and forgetful (maybe that’s just age) and a little nausea. Feel so much better now pain is under control – thanks to those who invented tramadol.

Ultram (tramadol) for Fibromyalgia: This is definitely my miracle drug. It allows me to continue working and even seems to have a slight mood elevator. I have suffered from fibromyalgia for years and the only other pain relievers I have found to help also made me drowsy and unable to function mentally. The only thing I notice from tramadol is relief. I have a sister with fibromyalgia and it doesn’t help her in the least so you just have to try it and see.

tramadol for Pain: I was prescribed Tramadol for a herniated lumbar disc and sciatica after trying several other painkillers in vain. This is the only painkiller that has given me any relief and I can feel it working immediately. I also take Diclofenac and find this to be a great combination. Night times are still a problem for me but during the day the pain has significantly decreased. I’ve had a couple of side effects – dry mouth and occasional sweats but I’m willing to put up with them for some decent pain relief at last.

I can’t believe the difference the dosage makes. Off course, being time release it does take a while to kick in, but I found I can work a longer day sometimes.

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I have multiple hernias in my low back and neck. My doctor abruptly stopped my Vicodin because I had used it long term and was losing the effect of pain relief. Started Ultram 400mg a day. No withdrawal symptoms from Vicodin. My pain level though didn’t improve from the Vicodin. I still feel the same as I did as the last few months of Vicodin use. I have had bad withdrawal symptoms in the past from fentanyl and am a little worried about having to come off Ultram someday as it appears to be hard to come off of. So basically it works like weak Vicodin for me and I have had some erectile dysfunction symptoms as well. I saw someone else comment on that. I’m young and never had any type of problems. I also take Lyrica 150mg three times a day.

tramadol for Fibromyalgia: I have had fibromyalgia for about 10 years and Ultram really helped for the first 5 years. After that the effect started to decrease until they had to change me to something else because it is not a long term drug. I loved it because you could take it and there were no feelings of sluggishness. It just took the pain away. I wish I could still take it with the same relief as when I first started.

tramadol for Pain: I was put on 200mg/day for low back pain (disc degeneration). At first, I noticed a great improvement in my mood. I think this should be studied more for the treatment of depression. I also had increased energy, and an overall feeling of well-being. My pain level dropped a little, but not a lot. I think this is a good drug for moderate, but not severe pain management.

tramadol for Pain: The stuff works pretty well for my arthritic joint pain. I asked my doctor for the lowest possible dose (50 mg) and combined with parecetemol (acetaminophen) and codeine you get a synergistic effect so I can get by with a relatively low dose. When I got the prescription filled and the pharmacist said, ‘maximum of eight per day’ I said incredulously, ‘Eight did you say eight?’ because I couldn’t believe I’d heard her right and the pharmacist smiled and said, ‘you’d be surprised at the number of people that take eight per day’. Clearly there are a lot of people abusing this drug.

tramadol for Pain: My hand got trapped between the tennis court and my racquet and shoulder. My clotting factor was 4 times normal due to too much Coumadin (warfarin) and am also on Plavix. The hand immediately puffed up to 3 times normal size. Obviously Aleve is out of the question, especially with an INR of 4.14. In ER they gave me Percocet, which worked fine, but I broke out into a rash and hives. I was then given Vicodin, but that did absolutely nothing even at 3 x the prescribed dose. It didn’t even make me drowsy, let alone affect the pain. I was then given Tramadol, 100 mg. This works! I got at least 6 hours sleep for the first time in a long time and no burning, itching rash. It also does not make me as drowsy as Percocet.

tramadol for Pain: I have been taking Tramadol (200mg every 12 hours) for several years now for chronic back pain (the side effects of Polio). It only dulls the pain, but this helps me to get around from day to day. However, there have been a few side effects, such has headache, disturbed sleep pattern, excessive sweating. I have been on various types of pain killers but this one seems to work the best for me. One warning, don’t just stop taking this medication, the withdrawal effects are quite unpleasant.

tramadol for Pain: This medicine should not be stored where it receives direct sunlight, changing temperatures, or humidity changes (i.e. bathrooms). I learned this the hard way recently. My prescription sat on my bedside table in front of a window with morning sun exposure and when I took a dose recently I felt lethargic, incoherent, and outside of my body. My husband told me I fought in my sleep and cried out for my children, I tossed and turned for several hours but he couldn’t wake me up. I was not told how to store this medicine and I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong.

tramadol for Fibromyalgia: I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. While waiting to find a medicine to work on the RA, I have been in severe pain in every joint and every muscle in my body. My doctor prescribed Tramadol to be taken with 1000 mg of Tylenol every 4-6 hours. (I didn’t see many posts that mentioned the Tylenol). It has been a miracle for me. I’m mostly pain free but very fatigued, which could be from the diseases and not the medicine. I have a headache upon waking but it goes away as soon as I’m up and about. Getting going in the morning is the worst part, but the medicines are helping.

tramadol for Pain: I have rheumatoid arthritis, recently diagnosed after 4 yrs of foot and shoulder pain. I was prescribed Tramadol and think it is pretty good. It does lessen the pain (not completely in my case) and does not appear to have any adverse effects. I think a lot of what makes the difference for the various afflictions is a proper dosage for the type of pain. Unlike the harder narcotics, I can definitely work/walk/etc. and be alert while taking Tramadol. So far so good.

tramadol for Pain: Have back pain, Dr. gave me this to take with Norco 3xd. I didn’t think it would help being “non-narcotic” but has taken my pain from sometimes an 6 with hydrocodone to maybe a 3 or even 1. HOWEVER I have experienced WITHDRAWAL symptoms. I don’t know how to detox because you’re not supposed to cut them in half. Anyway, if you get dizziness and like mild electric shocks in neck head when you don’t take it, it may be from this drug. I’ll still take it because it helps so much.

Ryzolt (tramadol) for Pain: I have had constant back pain and hip pain from an accident two years ago. The pain was treated with a variety of narcotic pain medication ranging from Vicodin to Roxycontin. Eventually developing a dependency I managed to overcome. But not being able to take narcotics anymore, I turned to Ryzolt and the results have been nothing short of miraculous. The pain is alomost completely gone. I highly recommend it for people who have had problems with narcotic pain medication.

tramadol for Pain: 62-year-old male with long standing osteoarthritis. Under my doctor’s supervision, tried many arthritis medicines with varying results. She took me off the one that worked best due to possible conflict with my heart disease. Now taking tramadol 50mg as needed with good results. I occasionally have some symptoms which might be side effects, such as sweating, dizziness, interrupted sleep, decreased appetite, and others, but they are so mild and infrequent that I can ignore them. The dose works about an hour after taking, and lasts for about 4 hours, giving me a major mood lift along with the absence of pain, a real spring in my step that lets me enjoy gardening, exercise and work instead of just limping around. A major improvement in my life!

Ultram (tramadol) for Pain: I have been taking Ultram for three months now for a compressed lumbar disc. I have had no problems with it like I did with narcotic pain relievers (serious withdrawals when I did not need the medicine for pain). It does cause some drowsiness and once made me feel nauseated, but all-in-all I like this medication much more than any codeine-based pain-killer.

After I had my gallbladder out, in 2007, I started having constant pain in my right side that feels like a side cramp that you get after running. Anyway…Ultram (Tramadol) has worked the best of everything the doctor has had me try. It gets rid of a lot of the pain and I’ve had no side effects.

Ultram ER (tramadol) for Pain: I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 2 years ago. At the same time I was in early recovery for addiction to pain killers (prescribed for pain,if your pain never stops you continue to use as prescribed and you are addicted). I had to have something so my Doctor told me about tramadol. I take 4-6 50 mg a day for pain. No side effects. Don’t know how I would have got along without it.

Ultram ER (tramadol) for Pain: I have peripheral neuropathy that was originally misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, until I demanded real tests. I’ve tried Duragesic, Oxycontin, Vicodin, Tylenol with Codeine (developed an allergy to), Lyrica, as well as various other NSAIDS and muscle relaxers. I hated taking narcotics, there is a big family history of drug abuse and it really made me worried that maybe I would start acting like them. I would say that Ultram ER 300mg plus 2 of the 50mg tabs per day as needed really works well. I do also take 1500mg of gabapentin a day, alprazolam to sleep if needed, and Soma occasionally (maybe 2-3 x/ month). I also use Lidoderm patches and TEDS. I now can go to college again and don’t feel doped up.

At the time the pain was so severe lower strength painkillers wouldn’t have been enough but I’ve now been left with an addiction to tramadol where I’ve been withdrawing gradually over months and it’s now left me with a bad case of Restless Leg Syndrome! To anyone who has never had this it’s a horrible feeling where you can’t rest or sleep properly because of the horrible feeling going through your legs, it feels like someone is tickling the inside of your leg and you can’t sit still! I haven’t slept properly in months now!
