| 5 | post AAA surgery leg pain | None | M | 64 | 6 months 50 MG 1X day | 8/7/2011 | 5 | arthritis | a little dizziness for the first hour after taking | Tramadol has been a lifesaver as the NSAIDS I was taking caused serious gastritis and Tylenol is very sedating. | F | 60 | 6 months 100MG 1X AN | 7/14/2011 | 5 | Menstrual Cramps | Itching! Hazy, drugged (but NOT dizzy) feeling. Sometimes sleepy, sometimes insomnia. Figure that one out. | I get horrible painful cramps that cause vomiting and other fun symptoms every month. My doctor prescribed Tramadol, and it's pretty awesome for me. Ibuprofin just makes me vomit and other OTCs don't even touch the pain even if I up the dosage. I didn't want to go all the way to vicodin because it makes me SO dizzy it's hard to walk straight which doesn't help the nausea. So I do tramadol, which brings the pain down to a manageable level, which helps (a little) with the nausea. Hazy makes me unwilling to drive while taking it, but nausea makes me unwilling to go anywhere while I need it, so not a big deal. Most of the time I get the sleepies which is actually GREAT, because I can sometimes sleep through the pain. And I don't get an intense itching, just a very mild, persistent allover itch which I will gladly trade for the horrible pain. I was actually totally unaware that tramadol had issues with addiction/withdrawal until reading other people's comments. I only need the tramadol for the first day, so I only take one or two pills every month and have no issues at all with that. The hazy and itching only last as long as the pill does. | F | 27 | 1 years 50 MG 1X M | 5/17/2011 | 4 | recovery cervical disc fusion | Yep, been on this drug for over a year as twice post surgery. It takes the edge off yet doesn't fully relieve the pain but would not be able to work without it. Easier on stomach than Norco | concerned about becoming dependent after seeing other posts here | M | 48 | 356 days 50 mg 1X day | 5/5/2011 | 5 | Fibromyalgia, ADD, Depression | Trouble sleeping if taken too close to bedtime. | I LOVE TRAMADOL, its my WONDER DRUG. I had been on Ritalin and all sorts of anti depressants but when I started taking Tramadol I was able to drop everything and stick with one drug to do it all. My fibromyalgia takes the best out of me. I hurt everywhere, I'm constantly cold and I walk around like an old lady with arthritis (im 36) I usually wake up dragging and in pain but within 30 minutes of taking my Tramadol I feel upbeat happy and ready to conquer the world. I notice that when I miss a dose I start feeling depressed but unlike the other antidepressants I have tried, I don't have to wait days for my tramadol to build up before it takes effect. My tramadol was prescribed for my Fibromyalgia pain but had done soooo much more for me. It has given me a new outlook on life. I can focus on my daily duties, I have stopped yelling at my son and have stopped crying for no reason at all. I think the FDA should approve tramadol for depression because IT WORKS, unfortunately not for everyone but for many! | F | 36 | 5 years 100MG 3X day | 4/4/2011 | 1 | Post shoulder operation | Okay as long as I kept up dosage. Worked fine for controlling the pain but…. | I only ever took these Tramadol tablets as prescribed for post operative pain so according to the manufacturers web site, I’m not addicted. To be classified as addicted you must be abusing the tablets. Things were fine until I stopped after 6 weeks. I had not been warned about the potential withdrawal effects which included sensory sensitivity, itching, hyper anxiety, extreme insomnia, panic etc. I started taking the Tramadol again and this time reduced over 2 weeks, as soon as I stopped completely, all the withdrawal affects described above came back. It is now 2 weeks since my last tablet and I’m still suffering from insomnia and anxiety, I’m not able to deal with more than one question at a time otherwise I panic. I am a professional person with a responsible job but currently unable to work. I really wish the drug company and the doctors warned patients about the potential problems of coming off of these tablets, it would have been easier to suffer the post op pain, at least you know where you are with that. | M | 55 | 6 weeks 100mg 4X day | 1/19/2011 | 1 | post-op pain relief | Panic attacks; severe anxiety; very emotional - I felt like I needed psychiatric help. | I would never use this drug again and never recommend it - its analgesic properties are not worth the mental stress. Doctors should warn patients of the side effects. | F | 47 | 12 days 100 mg 4X day | 5/17/2010 |
