 2  Menstrual Pain None. This stuff didn't work well for me. I took it for a couple days in a row as directed, and once or twice the pain did lessen, but the next month it had no effect whatsoever and did not even take the edge off. (I would think that having 20 something days of F 27 2 days

 3  Menstrual Cramps None. I take this in combination with Celebrex, and sometimes it does work to take the edge off the pain. I only take it 2 or 3 times a month, so I expected it to be potent and useful. It has consistently under-performed, and only seems able to handle rather low-level pain. It does help, though, and is better than nothing or OTCs. For intense cramps, only Vicodin really works for me. Ultram did not give me any side effects at all, and maybe its usefulness depends on your body chemistry. F 27 2 days

 4  bulging disc in lower back Sometimes it makes me feel spaced out and extremely relaxed. Completely takes away my appetite. Works the best for my back pain out of all the other meds I have taken (ibuprofin, flexiril, vicodin, soma). Definately has some type of seratonin effect (less anxiety). Not as potent when taken on a full stomach. F 28 30 days

 4  Asthma Insomnia and some intestinal issues 12-24 hours after discontinuing usage Although I've never ready anywhere that Tramadol is helpful for asthma, I'm able to jog far longer, faster and with less post-workout fatigue. Very energizing. M 40 6 months

 5  Osteo-arthritis in knees None...the only 'side effect' was that it has decreased the number of migraines I get. Tramadol (Ultracet or Ultram) has worked for me. I take one in the am and one before bedtime. Finally, I have been able to sleep without a lot of knee pain and my shoulder feels much better. The pain level is lower although it is not gone completely. The medication gives enough relief so I can function without being doped up. Surprisingly, it has made most of the migraines I have gotten much less severe. I have only had one or two that were debilitating since I started this medication for pain in my knees and shoulder. F 54 11 months

 4  Tumors (From Australia) - Tramal worked very well for me. The docs had me on 200mg twice a day but failed to tell me about the horrible withdrawal symptoms as I tried to go cold turkey. Have tried quite a few times to lower the dose and go off them with bad results (I got to day 3 of withdrawals and back on them). Am now trying 1 100mg in the morning and Pandeine Forte at night. F 27 6 months

 5  Knee & back pain & Cancer No side effects. Coffee has more. No addictive effects noted. Taken when naproxen alone just doesn't do it. Used as spiratic booster, this is a miracle drug. Ultram + a toke or two = morphine. Just an old hippie's opinion. M 51 2 years

 5  Fibromyalgia This medicine was a God send for me, although it does nothing for me on rainy days, it helps me function as normally as one can with my condition when I do take it. F 36 3 years

 3  pain, depression tachycardia, addiction, weight loss, anxiety, bad temper, social lubrication, depression, withdrawal 2-3 days This is a grossly addictive drug.. much moreso than advertised.. but i believe it is only addictive for some people. M 27 2 years

 5  Thoracic Outlet Syndrome None. - Can Ultram be taken forever? I take 100mg everyday. No less, no more. This is a wonder drug. I feel Great!!!! It doesn't get rid of the pain it just makes your mind feel better when you have the pain. That's enough for me. As an athlete I workout everyday at 5am. I love it. I was recently diagnosed with TOS, took every drug they gave me and finally they just went to a pain killer. It's saved my life!!! M 38 3 months
