1 | Pain after Kidney Stone surgery. | One pill worsened Cervical Dystonia. I also had severe bloating in my stomach and some stomach pain. Because of this, I could not sleep most of the night. I only took it one time. | After stopping Tramadol, the side effects went away. I never took it again. | M | 51 | 1 days 50 MG. 1X day | 10/15/2013 | 5 | Tib/fib break and severe hip pain | Mild insomnia for about a week after stopping the medication. I stopped abruptly but my Doctor said I should have gradually reduced the dosage. | I found Tramadol excellent in dealing with the extreme pain that I had after my accident. By contrast Dihydrocodeine wasn't nearly as good and it also left me tired and constipated. Tramadol was side effect free.(except for the mild insomnia on stopping abruptly) | M | 42 | 3 months 100mg 3X day | 9/26/2013 | 1 | spinal stenosis | insomnia | This drug did nothing for me. When I heard about the side effects, I threw the pills away. | M | 66 | 2 weeks 50MG 6X day | 5/4/2013 | 5 | neuralgia | When I have gotten off of it for some periods, I did have some diarrhea for a couple of days that went away. | I take amitriptyline and tramadol for nerve pain and other fibromyalgia pains. It has been very effective for dulling pains that are otherwise disabling. I really do not notice any side effects other than it makes doing things seem possible, where the pain before medicating absolutely prevented me from thinking about anything else. | M | 55 | 4 years 50 MG 3X day | 5/3/2013 | 1 | Headache eye pain | It took my pain away, problem is that it made suicidal. | While on 72 hour hold, I was told that I am in a 1.3% group of people that has that type of reaction to the med. No alert for that reaction. | M | 46 | 7 days 50 mg 4X day | 5/3/2013 | 4 | Fibromyalgia | Insomnia, loss of appetite, weight loss. Increase in energy. | I took this medication in addition to Vicodin (which also causes me insomnia). It doesn't do a lot for pain, but it gives me that boost of energy I need in the morning. I usually take 1 1/2 tablets in the morning (5-6 a.m.). I am able to nap if needed by 2:00 p.m. If I take it any later than 3 in the afternoon, I cannot sleep at night at least not before 12 or 1. | F | 43 | 1 years 50 mg 2X day | 4/20/2013 | 4 | Back pain | Headache, lots of energy, weight loss | This drug works great for pain but I would not take it again ever. The withdrawal systmtoms are a complete nightmare! Whether you're tapering or going cold turkey you will be in a world of hell for a few weeks. Withdrawals include RLS, sever depression, sever insomnia, cold sweats, diarrhea, after days and days of no sleep I started to hear and see things that were not there. All that plus intense joint pain. It is not a good situation at all. Please beware when taking this medication. I have read stories from people who have experienced terrible withdrawal systmtoms after taking this medication for only a few weeks. | F | 32 | 12 months 50 4X day | 10/12/2012 | 5 | Back pain | Itching, if I don't take it I get very sluggish, groggy, and my muscles ache. Great med for back pain. I only take a low dose 50mg and it gives me so much relief from pain that side effects are worth it. I am a NP and would recommend it for my patients. | F | 34 | 2 years 50 mg | 10/5/2012 | 4 | Extremely nervous if I miss a dose | I usually take 1/2 pill 2 times a day and 1 whole pill at bedtime for osteoarthritis | F | 73 | 5 years 50 mg 3X day | 7/14/2012 | 1 | ankylosing spondylitis | extreme. disgraceful withdrawals....can stop taking it....otherwise thrashing in bed, insomnia, anxiety,loss of energy, agitation,constant yawning yet can't sleep...totally ruined my life...tried to stop ....can't deal with the withdrawals...sensitive to noise......worse drug ever made.. | started on 150 mg per day then went up to 200mg a day then back to 150 then 100 now 50 mg....cannot get off the stuff...horrible drug....works good for intense flare ups of my ankylosing spondylitus but i would never have started taking the stuff i knew the cronic side effects...i;ll have to keep taking it for the rest of my life because i can't deal with the withdrawal symptoms at all...i'd rather die......oh yeah constant urinating is another side effect of stopping. | M | 35 | 2 years 50mg 2X day | 5/19/2012 | 4 | Osteoarthritis | Nothing negative all good. | I am pain free now and can walk almost normally. Such a relief, but the withdrawl side-effects I read about do concern me. | F | 65 | 10 days 50 2X day | 3/23/2012 | 1 | Arthritis | It was not a very effective pain reliever and went through terrible withdrawal when I stopped. Seven days of agony, insomnia, anxiety attacks, restless legs, unable to eat, dehydration, nausea, chills. I would NEVER recommend anyone take this drug! Should be stopped under the supervision of a physician! Still cannot tolerate perfumes or odors after six weeks. | F | 69 | 4 months 100 mg 3X day | 3/3/2012 | 3 | Headaches | Takes a long time to be effective . | Woks for mild pain but did nothing for a headache. Had a slight out of body feel when taken? Also I had a failed job drug test while taking this. | F | 37 | 30 1X day | 2/25/2012 | 3 | chronic pain/headaches | no side effects | it works great for pain that is not "severe"; however it is pure HELL to get off of! I have gotten off of other opiates (hydrocodone, codeine) MUCH easier than getting off this drug. It changes all brain chemistry. If you ever want to get off, you'll need to wean off VERY gradually or you will have terrible withdrawals!! Do not start this drug if you can help it. Use hydrocodone instead - it is much easier to withdraw from. | F | 54 | 12 years 50 mg 4X day | 2/12/2012 | 4 | Fibromyalgia Pain | A little nausea if I don't eat something when I take it. Insomnia,slight itching. | I only take 1/2 pill at a time, usually twice a day (morning and afternoon) because of the sleeplessness it causes. It makes me very sleepy, but when I try to sleep I wake every few minutes. Like all other opiates I have taken, this one makes me groggy and itchy but I can't sleep if I take it close to bedtime. It definitely helps with the pain, so I can function. | F | 43 | 4 days 50 mg 3X day | 1/15/2012 | 1 | pain for knee injury | None until the day I didn't take it.. then, bothersome anxiety, shaky, wierd audio hallucinations at night. | Worked great for pain but Dr. never mentioned it can be addictive! Should have done my homework like I usually do. I was shocked to have withdrawal symptoms the first day I skipped the med. Started to wean off it...... when taking only 1/2 to 1 a day instead of 2-3, had twitches/jerking in arms and legs when at rest. Stopped altogether now. Tho excellent for pain would not take again due to addictive quality and unnerving anxiety trying to stop the drug. My Dr. was surprised at my report, says many pts. are fine on it. Wonder if they've tried to stop it???? | F | 58 | 5 weeks 50 mg 3X day | 1/14/2012 | 1 | Endometriosis | Horrible time sleeping and trying to stop this medication is beyond horrible!! The withdrawels are so bad that I had to continue taking and taper myself down and even doing this was a struggle!! | Yes this drug does help the pain but the withdrawals are beyond insane! I have taken many diffrent narcotics and though this one is suppose to be non addicting it's the complete opposite! | F | 36 | 2 years 50 4X day | 12/9/2011 | 4 | pain | none what so ever | F | 61 | 100 4X day | 9/4/2011 | 5 | leg muscle pain and weakness | none | I have permanent leg muscle pain and weakness due to cholesterol medication that I was taking for 16 months. Now I have to take pain medication every day for the rest of my life! Tramadol works great (fortunately) and really helps me with my muscle pain. My quality of life would be very bad if it wasn't for this medication. | F | 52 | 12 months 100 mg 3X day | 8/9/2011 | 5 | post AAA surgery leg pain | None | M | 64 | 6 months 50 MG 1X day | 8/7/2011 |
