| 5 | Back injury | Euphoria, happy, calm, high and feeling light and good | Think of it, the doctor I visited actually who introduced me this drug actually wanted me to feel good, I remember him telling me,"let me prescribe you with a very good pain killer" and that's it, I am quite addicted to it now. It makes me high and calm, feel good and got the "fly" feeling... now I know how they derive the name "Dr Evil" | M | 38 | 1X day | 5/23/2012 | 5 | | 5/4/2006 | 5 | M | | 4/26/2006 | 5 | manage back and neck pain | I had no side effects while on this drug however I am now trying to get off of it and am experiencing upset stomach, dizziness, sleeplessness just overall yucky Does anyone know if over the counter meds could help relieve this withdrawl systoms | F | 43 | | 11/15/2004 | 5 | bone spur pain | felt a calming effect | M | 54 | | 2/2/2004 | 4 | | 1/23/2003 | 4 | | 7/3/2002 | 4 | lower back pain | at lower doses, mild itching, alertness at higher does, constant itching although not unpleasant or irritating (probably because of the pain killing effect), vision problems, irritability | This medicine is probably the best pain medicine you can get, in my opinion. I have recurring lower back pain so I take it as needed when tylenol and ibuprofen don't work (they hardly ever do). Even at low doses this medicine cures my back pain. But if I have to take it for longer periods of time, I have to increase the dose because I find that tolerance develops fairly quickly. I feel that this medicine allows me to stay awake if I need to, but doesn't keep me up if I need to sleep. It doesn't make me drowsy, however it feels incredibly relaxing to lie down so sometimes if I lie down with no intention of sleeping it's hard to get back up. The negative side effects are itching although somehow it's not an irritating itching, yet sometimes I will wake up with a great deal of scratch marks on my back from having to scratch during sleep. Sometimes I would wake up multiple times in the middle of the night if I take it before sleep, but have no problem falling back to sleep, an | M | 46 | | 3/26/2007 | 4 | Chronic upper back pain | Felt great. No pain. Good mood. Focused--really helped a bit of ADHD. Got much more done. Sleep great as it does relax muscles. Feel fine the next morning. | I only take a tramadol as needed. About 60 of them lasted a year. I don't really want to get hooked on anything so I'm wary of constant use. And some of the effects on here almost gave me a panic attack. I do not understand. My mother-in-law who is 85 takes 50 mg tramadol twice a day w/o incident? I haven't had any at all. I'm finding that it really does help calm me from effects of ADHD enough to focus and write as I am a writer. It helps me accomplish things much more methodically/organized than usual, and then sleep well at night. Otherwise, I start too many projects, get wound up, don't accomplish as much, and then can't sleep. I love tramadol. | F | 59 | 50 1X day | 12/30/2011 | 4 | severe chronic pain from scoliosis | tiredness ( is that even a word)?, lethargy, vivd dreams, ringing in my ears | I take this drug in an extended relaese form ( Called Raliva here in Canada), and so far it is working well. yes, it does have side effects, but anything is better than the pain I was in. I can function again ! I have been taking it for about 8 months now, and after being perscribed everything from Maorphine to demeraol to celebrex for pain, this works the best. | F | 36 | | 8/13/2008 | 3 | | 5/24/2005 | 3 | Migraines | Euphoria, comedown headaches, mood elevation | M | 29 | | 3/2/2008 | 3 | Fibromyalgia | Tension, insomnia if taken too close to bedtime, antidepressant effect (good) Spontaneous sweats, trouble focusing eyes, dry mouth. | I became physically addicted in less than 1 month. It works pretty well in combination with Aleve. If I take more than 3 per day, I experience tinnitus and muscle tension in neck and shoulders. Does not work for breakthrough pain, but makes everyday living possible. I would be unable to work without it. | F | 53 | 50 mg 1X day | 3/10/2010 Patient History | 3 | cant take coedine based pain killer | i get the flu like symptoms when i stop taking it.Im frightened I may becoming addicted to it. | because i cant take coedine based pain killers for severe pain,this is all the doctors want to give me.Ive needed it for sinus trouble,kidney stones and arthritis but it makes me nervous using it.Do i have the flu or am i in withdrawl?Have taken it on and off for 3years. | M | 43 | | 6/6/2006 | 3 | F | 74 | | 10/31/2006 | 3 | fibromyalgiz | F | 57 | | 2/1/2003 | 3 | pain | Shaky | M | 54 | | 11/26/2004 | 1 | fibromyalgia pain | No pain relief. I might as well not even take this drug. I know it works for some people, but it just doesn't touch my pain. | F | 44 | 100 mg 2X day | 10/10/2011 | 1 | fibromyalgia and arthritis pain | I HAD A TERRIBLE RUNNING ITCH THAT YOU CANT SCRATCH AND CONTRACTIONS OF MANY MUSCLES INCLUDING STOMACH AND THIGH VERY UNCOMFORTQABLE, DIZZINESS AND BRAIN FOG | F | 48 | | 11/12/2008 | 1 | Pelvic Myoneuropathy | ...forgot to include in my previous post: I had a | M | 87 | | 1/29/2005 |
