Sounds like all y’all doctors are seeing witch doctors. Or maybe you are seeing the wrong doctor maybe a psychiatrist is in order because y’all are hypochondriacs??? I have very good doctors that listen to me from my GP to my pain management and all my surgeons You have to communicate clearly and precise without being a whiny ass
Every medicine comes with risks and prescribing/using them is all about the balance. Due to what my doctor called my "weird genetics" most pain killers don't work on me. Lortabs might as well be M&Ms (except for the side effects). In fact, being sedated for a procedure or dental work takes a lot of whatever they use. Just numbing me for stitches is such a process I usually try to get stitched without it. Tramadol, however, works great for me. First time I took it was for severe pain while waiting on some minor surgery. It worked so well I threw them out figuring if they worked on me they were too strong to keep. LOL ... Then I broke a rib and the relative mildness of Tramadol was explained to me and how it has less risks than most other "stronger" pain killers. As it's the only thing that works for sudden, severe pain (think waking up with an abscessed tooth but it's Saturday) or a particularly painful gastric condition I sometimes am troubled by, I keep a few on hand. But I use them very sparingly as I don't want to build up a tolerance since nothing else works.
For me this pain medication was awful. It helped so much with pain, however i got some awful side effects such as shakiness, loss of appetite and other feverish symptoms. Will never though these again and I’d rather feel pain.
I recently had an emergency appendectomy. When They handed me my release papers there was no prescription for pain and I was still reeling from the surgery. I was in so much pain I couldn’t get out of my bed yet I was being discharged with NO pain medication. American medical treats honest people like they are a deadly drug addicts. And get this: Honest people are forced to live in pain while real deadly drugs are welcomed across our borders. I am pissed.
I get it. I hear ya loud and clear. My neighbor was a good person until he come across fentanyl. Just worthless. Leaves his wife alone for days. No food No electric no money. I have helped her so much. It's affecting me. I get it
These druggies is gonna get their drugs. Anyway, you look at it on the streets and you know what I think that's what they want. So that's that's how they make their money. It's when people buy drugs on the streets. That's why they Shut them downit and make Oldpeople And bag for pain pills when they can get around. Can't get around. You can't take yourself and end up in the nursing home living off the government. Think you're pretty stupid making old people beg for medicine when they're in. So much pain.
I like it. For me Tylenol is useless and is just as risky because it's harder on your liver. Tramadol obviously doesn't work for everyone; especially intense pain. If you suffer from mild pain, have you tried Kratom? It may work as well or better for you.
Ah Tramadol, the VA's favorite new drug to hand out by the wheelbarrow load. That crap doesn't work for me and actually triggers my migraines. A high CBD and low THC weed works the best for me with no side effects. Vape two or three times a week at night and I'm good to go.
Dr. Richardson A lot of Pharmacist believe tramadol is "trash", Can you explain why the dislike of this medication in the medical community particular with some pharmacist ?
They believe it’s trash because the patrons let them know of it. Tramadol is basically a placebo pill. Has an intimidating name that makes you feel like it’s significant (trama - trauma) but in reality you’ve never heard of it outside of the hospital because it doesn’t actually work. For a lot of people, the thought of being healed does more foe them than the medicine can. They’re also a way for a doctor to assign a pain med while avoiding any risk in a patient they think is young or could potentially abuse medicine. My doc prescribed me this when I broke a vertebrae but was under the assumption it was just a muscle injury at the time of prescription as we were waiting for X-rays to process. Luckily I’m a degenerate and was able to obtain actual pain meds which allowed me to leave my house 3 weeks earlier than I would have on just tramadol but it for sure changed my opinion on how truthful I feel medical professionals are to me.
I've been prescribed this for probably close to 10yrs, to me its not addictive and believe addiction to any drug is heavily reliant on the genetics of a person for lack of a better term. Does it help with certain pain? Sure. Is it as effective as an actual narcotic? No, but certain people cannot take narcotics because they become addicted to them based on their genetics. Most doctors are loath to prescribe a narcotic pain reliever because of the heavy government foot placed upon their necks which anyone with a thinking brain knew would be the outcome of government over regulating them. Dr's are afraid for lack of a better term to prescribe them because of the government and this is what my own doctors have told me in private this is why most will not prescribe anything stronger than tramadol and some doctors don't even want to prescribe that either, they just don't want to deal with the government. Who suffers because of this? The patient of course because government is "always the solution"
You are absolutely correct. This government intrusion pisses me to no end. And though this is not nice thinking, I sometimes hope that the idiots that prevent people in pain from getting the relief they need will themselves be in terrible pain some day and see what its like. I'll end there before I start dropping F bombs. TY for explaining the situation so clearly, Oscar!
Oh yes!!never used to have a class,to it,issued like a glorified aspirin..now because of idiots,the doctors are not wanting to prescribe,without 3rd degree..I had Shingles,and still have terrible nerve pain,I search everyday,for a natural relief??This has been 12 years,I am now 70!!Do they even have a doctor meds.that help??I tryed it all, tramadol still helps...
Tram helps me a lot. And I find it predictable. I know in 4 hours the effects wear off. I am grateful for it. And it seems to control my tremors, not induce them. Thanks for the video doc.
I'm a 100% service connected vet who only took Naprosyn for my traumatic arthritis and back injuries for 20 years. I had to start tramadol 3x a day when both hips deteriorated two years ago. It helped immensly. I don't need it all the time. I had hip replacement 6 months ago. Now I'm titrating down on the amount to one in morning and night. I don't do opiods. Period. I'm hoping to be off of it in a few more months.
That’s the problem for me. It wears off too quickly. So half of my day I have no pain relief. I have ankylosis spondylitis and neuropathy from my cancer treatments. Along with a number of other side effects.I can’t take Ibuprofen because of the ulcers I have had from my illness. Tylenol by itself does absolutely nothing for the pain. It sucks that it doesn’t last longer because my neuropathy keeps me from sleeping well,which effects my waking hours.But I have to use my prescription during the daytime because I have to work. And part of that is getting ready for work.I can hardly walk when I get up.. And I have to drive for almost an hour after that to get to work.The only time I get a good nights sleep is the weekends. Then I take it at night and suffer when I’m awake.
I have.fibro and nasty osteoarthritis. I have.been on Norco for years. When it stops helping, I stop taking it. I jave NEVER.had withdrawal EVER.when I stop taking them. When my receptors clear.out, I go back on. My doctor freaked out because I told him I quit them. The only problem.was...my butt was.confused because I could go to the bathroom twice a day without using a stool softener. I am.addicted to being able to get up and do my daily stuff that has to be done!
You're only addicted if you're ambivalent about using the substance because you feel bad about the way you're taking it. Maybe you mean physical dependence?
As a recovering addict, I can reliably tell you, addiction is the worst pain possible. Being addicted for years before my years of recovery has left me in excruciating pain, and I can't even consider narcotics. It's not a particularly funny joke, that.
@@kathycuster8219 why do people feel the need to share everything thing with their doctor.he will think you no longer need the medication.I wouldn't do it.take care
Tramadol put me in an upbeat mood more than it helped with the pain. I built a tolerance to it very quickly and then it didn't help much with the pain. When I stopped it my mood was very down for a while
I so agree with you. Did nothing for my surgery pain but messed with my chemicals in my body. Gave me a boost but getting off ot was a NIGHTMARE. Would not recommend it. HORRIBLE side effects.
That's the point of it. It doesn't actually do anything for pain like morphine would. It makes you feel euphoric so you forget or ignore the pain. Not good for acute pain but good for a headache or something not so severe. It makes you really relaxed if you go to bed but energetic if you do something like clean your house. It amplifies the mood you are in depending on what task you are doing. For me at least, everyone's different t ofcourse. I would describe it more of an anti anxiety drug than a painkiller.
I have Fibromyalgia. That was the first drug they gave me. It didn’t even have any restrictions. I take it for pain. But only 50mg 3 times a day. I found it got when it started to get out of my system I would get real depressed and shaky. So I cut down to 1 3x daily, I was taking 2 at once. 3xdaily. Tylenol 3 always worked better for me...but nothing stops the pain....I think they need to make medical marijuana legal in all 50 states. The pain is unbearable.
Have you tried Lyrica or gabapentin? I'm on tramadol, Lyrica, and Cymbalta (plus muscle relaxers) for fibromyalgia and arthritis. It all helps but doesn't stop the pain 100%. I hope you can find something that you can take and that will help you! 💜
the reviews prove EVERYONE is different!!. I'm NOT addicted or have addictive personality. yet I'm treated with that broad brush that EVERYONE GETS ADDICTED.... This med. did nothing at all for me. I swore it was a placebo. pain sucks but addicts who abuse meds and caused all this mess deserve to suffer for making legitimate patients like me suffer even more!🌞
I agree. I hate Tramadol. Gave me terrible panic attacks on just 50 mg. A trash medication. Drug addicts has ruined it for us who need good effective medications!##
This is the fate of many of us. Because of the abuse of a few, we all have to suffer. I had a knee replacement and asked my doctor what was the best immediate pain med after the surgery. He said Oxycontin would be best because it lasts over 8 hours so no waking up every 4 hours to take more pain meds. Now, no doctor will prescribe Oxycontin because of the abuse of a few. In fact, many doctors are now using Tramadol instead of other powerful pain meds. Only the patient suffers.
@@rudyyarbrough5122 Unfortunately, w/the new healthcare system the bureaucrats decide what is best for your pain & not your doctor. I agree though many suffer, because of the abusers, but then again, why do you think the decision-making has been taken from doctors & given to bureaucrats, while, the White House is allowing drug lords to cross the US border knowingly & freely to do their business of getting our children addicted and aiding in the deaths of 100,000 people, annually?
I tried this stuff when I injured my back, it didn't do anything for pain. But it was real good at making me nervous as hell it gave me the shakes and messed with my stomach. Needless to say that crap went in the garage after a couple of weeks.
Tramadol didn't touch my pain, severe arthritis in my lower back and degenerative disc disease from L3 through L5. The Pain clinic are so worried about addiction/dependence. Well, what about living with excruciating chronic pain! I've been to two pain clinics and was treated like a drug seeker!
It all depends on one’s own personal medical reason for their pain, the type of pain, rather it’s acute pain or chronic pain. The medical field of long term pain patients, need to be separated from short term pain. And, not all patients can tolerate the same medications. When this war on opioids came about, I was then prescribed “psychotic medications” and epilepsy medications, which really messed with me so badly, that it was worse than pain medications itself!
I one hundred percent understand because I went through a psychotic episode after only taking it and stoping four days after i can't believe you can get symptoms this quickly it's insane i don't know wtf pain meds are being mixed with psych meds i guess to strengthen the addiction sick bastards.
It actually worked for my low pain but not for my bad pain. The thing that I didn't like is the withdraw symptoms. I had been on this for a year at least and the withdraws were horrible. Mostly severe cases of restless leg syndrome and nightmares! I weened myself off this stuff in very small increments. I don't recommend taking it for a long period
Amen! The withdrawls are horrible! I used this for years, and it was horrible, the withdrawls were bad. I couldn’t work for a week, even though I weaned off.
True, the restless leg syndrome is the worst, weaning will help, say down to 25, even 12.5 mg; maybe Kratom for some too (short term). What helped me was regular exercise, and good nutrition. Cough medicine took away some of the restless leg syndrome (diphenhydramine).
Me too. I usedto take it with ibuprofen which worked great, but the ibuprofen started killing my kidneys. Now I take it with tylenol and it works, but not as well.
Thanks for the great video and I been taking on tramdol after I got hit by a car and my back was broken and it helps me alot for me and what is even stranger with it is I am bi polar and I have Anxiety with my Bipolar and when I take the tramdol when I am in pain and having anxiety it seem to take way the pain and thr anxiety strange . Thanks again for your great videos.
I have Arthritis and 4 Budging Disc, the pain was unbearable. I am 75 years old and I told my daughter I would rather not live if I have to live like this. I could hardly walk and it about killed me to even sit on the toilet. My doctor put me on Tramadol-Acetaminophn, and Gabapentin. It's working for me, some days are worse than others, but at least I can function now. So I only have good things to say about it.
Its the tramadol. Gabapentin can be dangerous. Never take tramadol with Paxil and other antidepressants as you can get serotonin syndrome. It works wonders on kidney stones !!
I don’t care if it causes dependency, I need it badly. It doesn’t take all of my lumbar back pain away, but it helps take off some of the edge of my pain. It’s horrible living with the severe pain I suffer, I had fusion and bone grafting, which has caused me misery in my Sacroiliac joints, L4, L5, S1 and my tail bone. I’m going for shots at my spine & pain Doctor’s, but it doesn’t seem to help me like it used to. Because of the drug addiction everywhere, we elders have to suffer, yet the druggies are still overdosing on Fentanyl & Heroine everyday, not from grandma’s medicine cabinet!
I have the same problem with my back that you have my doctors treat me like a druggie. I am 68 years old and if I was a person hooked on drugs they could see with all the blood test I have to do yet my daughter at 18 yrs of age they gave her a jar of strong drugs and i never got them pain medicine. I hope you find help with it.
@@SledDog5678 yes, I have a lot of area to cover do to the fusion. I go to my Spine & pain Doctor regularly. I now have worse problem’s with my nervous system, about killed me taking Lyrica. Thank you for asking, Charlie.👍🥰
I took Ultram for 18yrs. When it was first prescribed the Dr said is was non narcotic and non addictive.. .. I had a terrible time coming off of it. Now I suffer 24/7 crps and it's untreated because I'm too afraid to have anything control my life like that again. 😪 Thanks for sharing
@@adamsonadeking5785 hello. I didn't stick with it because Dr's don't like to prescribe it as it's considered a controlled substance. My Dr quit prescribing those all together. The only doctors that really prescribe it now or pain doctors. We moved to a different state and I've been unable to find a good pain doctor since. I only commented in hopes to save someone that might read it the grief of becoming addicted to that particular drug. Like I said when they first prescribed it it was considered non-addictive non-narcotic. Anyhow, hope you have a blessed day.
I know I am adicted to it, but I have a life without pain. Life is not life with pain. It would be silly to want not to have any side effects and feel as though you were perfectly wealthy and were 20 years old...I have been on tramadol for ten years and it saved me from a facial pain that had persisted for one year, 24 hours a day. Only lately I have some palpitations when I woke up, or not sleep very well, but I sort it out not taking much of it before going to bed. It is an extremely good pain killer. It is addictive, but if I have to choose, I prefer it to live in constant pain.
@@jennaleigh33 I deal with daily chronic pain from a fall off a water tower. I actually had to move out of my state to get properly treated for pain. They would only give opiate drugs to stage four cancer patients. It's written right in there new drug laws so the doctors hands are tied. I moved to state where they focus on getting you OUT of pain instead of KEEPING you in pain. Keeping you in pain is extremely bad for your health, especially if you have heart issues too.
It’s tough to be addicted to a pain killer that does not kill pain. And I cannot do pit so I suffer get fatter more depressed and feel worthless and hopeless.
I heard this is way better for depression and anxiety than pain. But unfortunately due to it being abused it will never be used for such issues which is a great shame.
Yes! I took this for 2 years and quit drinking and smoking mj. Lost weight, worked two jobs, and really got my life together. My husband lost his job and I wasn't able to go to the doctor as often and then it was graduated to class C and I couldn't get it any more. My life is a constant struggle now - ten years later.
@@nofortunatesonII I'd like to know who would abuse this medicine. It didn't do anything for my pain and I didn't feel high. Wow, who would abuse this and why?
It was the only thing that helped with my severe head aches after my head injury, but it was due to my neck being so ruined. The first doctor put me on vikaden and it was tolerable, but I couldn't pass a drug test to get back to work. After a couple of years they wouldn't let me work anyway because it ruined my train of thought. Now I wish I was still on the vikaden
Tramadol has been a lifesaver for me in controlling my costocondritis pain. I would not be up and about without it. No other painkillers work successfully for my costo pain. My body is dependent on it now but thats definitely the lesser of 2 evils. I'm still continuing to find a more natural and sustainable cure but I haven't managed to do that yet
I take osteo bioflex twice a day for arthritis. If I need something with that, I occasionally take 2 ibuprofen or 1 extra strength Tylenol. If I have surgery or dental pain, my Dr gives me hydrocodone. I don't abuse it and stop taking it as soon as I can.
I have been on this for several years it works for me along with other pain killers like you say my body is probably dependent on them but I’m not addicted to them as I can go days without
I broke my ankle and was prescribed Tramadol. It worked the first time I took it. Only the first time. After that, it never did a thing to alleviate my pain.
Tramadol works on the nervous system. I think for you ankle its best to take a different kind of pain killer. I'm not a doctor, just someone who tried all kinds of painkillers 😅
I've been having a explosion of nerve pain after ankle surgery last week I was given cocodomol the pain nerve pain I'm experiencing is chronic so today I've changed to tramadol 50mg so hoping it helps a little bit
Works GREAT for my severe arthritis pain. I’ve been taking it several years with no side effects and no addiction. I am 72 years old. Doctor sees me every six months.
I had shoulder surgery on my right shoulder about a year ago. They did a nerve block and put me to sleep for the surgery. After the surgery they told me it would be about 24 hours before the nerve block wore off but to start taking the pain medication as soon as it started to wear off. Less than 12 hours after my surgery the nerve block was wearing off and I didn’t start taking the Tramadol quick enough to keep up with the pain. I was in misery before it finally caught up. Also it made me constipated something fierce, which was a misery unto itself. Even the stool softener they prescribed did not help. After 2 days I quit taking the Tramadol and put up with the pain rather than not be able to poop. It was horrible. Sitting on the toilet having to push as hard as I could trying, and failing, to go. Never again.
I started taking it yesterday. was prescribed a 50mg pill twice a day. took one yesterday afternoon and I too one this morning. it seems like it worked a lot stronger today. It takes away about 90 percent of my pain from my fractured and dislocated finger. It doesn't seem to make me too dizzy or sleepy or anything so that's good because I can still function on it. So far so good.
@grantjourney2337: Good to know. Thanks for the follow up. Do you mind saying how long you took them ? I just filled a prescription for a leg injury but kind of afraid to take them.
I was given an injection of Tramadol for an in office procedure last week. It did nothing for the pain and the next day I woke up shaky, vomiting, and on the verge of passing out when I tried to get out of bed. It was an awful experience. My doctor doesn’t think the Tramadol had anything to do with my symptoms but I think she is wrong and will think twice before taking it again.
I had it in tablet form, like you woke up shaking, cold sweats, vomiting and near passing out! My son took one tablet for a migraine and was fine. Days later took another one and I found him on the floor, very pale looking, shaking, sweating, etc! Neither of us were taking any other medications. I guarantee that the doctors never give this information to the manufacturers. Makes me wonder just how many people have been affected in the same way. We are just Guinea pigs for the drug companies!
I've been taking tramadol for years for chronic joint pain and destruction. It doesn't work REAL great, I'm still in pain. but I'm definitely in MORE pain if away from the house and miss taking it.
yeah I have been taking tramadol for back pain for 9 years and yes it does help, but it doesn't totally alleviate all my pain. But I have never had any side affects from it or felt the need to increase my dosage.
@@bobobolinsky5001 I'm not even sure what the side effects are. Back when I started taking it I told my physician I had been taking 10 ibu 4 times a day and BOOM she put me on tramadol and told me to never touch ibu again.. When my little dog had an eye injury she was given tramadol and gabapentin. The same stuff I take lol. I
Tramadol is a controlled substance for money reasons only. I was taking it for Chronic pain for years with no problems. And as far as addiction; addiction is only as the pain is constant.
I was prescribed it for broken ribs in 2015 and it worked. I took it for two weeks but afterward had weird withdrawal symptoms, including an uncomfortable anxiety attack.
It is less addicting..And even if am dependence developed u can definitely stop it.Tramadol is dangerous in higher doses it can cause epilepsy. So Codeine is somewhat superior to tramadol.
I started taking this when I was in Mexico and the doctor gave it to me, i kept using it for 7 years! It was horrible! At one point I was taking 7-10 100 mg pills per day, and sleeping 12-16 hours a day most days, I lost 5-6 jobs, and life was absolutely a nightmare! Trust me, it’s got overdosed so many times without knowing it, ut wrecked my life! I wouldn’t even be able to wake up early 90% if the time, when I did I went to work all drowsy and felt horror and sleepy! Don’t take this crap! It’s not worth it!! Don’t ruin your life!! I’m glad I stopped!!! But I wasted 7 years of my life when I could have moved up at work and bought a house and had some good stability! 😔 😔
Your audio is HORRIBLE!!! I stopped watching at 40 seconds. Your voice volume is extremely low, so I turned up my volume on my device. Two seconds later a LOUD BLAST of music pierced my ears!!! Since you do not know how to adjust your audio, I will not watch your videos.
PAIN: Tart Cherry Juice I know there’s many sources for pain & it won’t help everyone but it helped me. Life of trauma, falls, wrecks, horse wrecks-I should hurt. Get up & walk away when you’re younger, but it catches you later. Off of Tramadol & now drinking 8 oz tart cherry juice daily. My new internist told me about it! She wants to really help!
Been taking Tramadol for 10 years now for chronic back pain. I take it 4 to 5 days per week mixed with Naproxin, but the Tram is the major player. Hits home on the pain every time, lifts my mood, feel really alert with plenty of energy. Feel relaxed and refreshed in the morning. The only downside is the potency decreases if you take it more than 2 days in a row, so you have to try and space it out. No negative side effects apart from occasionally very mild sick feeling. Amazing drug for me, but would happily give it up in exchange for the loss of my lower back pain
The fact that it isn't as potent does not mean it is less addictive. Bad reasoning. Being less potent just means it doesn't work as well to treat pain. It is JUST as addictive as any other opioid and is more dangerous due to contra-indications with other medications.
and I know one thing it didn't used to be a controlled substance now it is and I don't understand why it's not strong at all and I'm pretty sure it couldn't be addictive
Tramadol was put on the control list only because of the clamp down on opiate abuser's, they started abusing Tramadol when they couldn't get their drugs of choice, the FDA was trying to make it even harder for them to get pain killers
Tramadol is less side effects but after i was on opiade pain medication i had a test for bone density it shows their is bone loss my doctor told me this is from opiate medication but i have no option now i wish i can get belbuca is way better medication so far
This is the only medication that works on my sciatica. I have severe sciatica 24 hrs a day every day. My left leg is half an inch shorter than my right. And walking around barefoot my whole life didn't help. One day my 10 yr old cousin jumped off a picnic table onto my back and now I have back and hip pain, which is nothing compared to the nerve pain. Tramadol literally saved my life.
Thank you. I have exactly the same issue as you. And on the same leg. I'm on codeine which has minimal pain relieving effects. My gf is going to pick up my tramadol from the doctor as i write this. I'm not sure which strength I'm getting
This med sort of helped with my pain but it did add to increased breathing and made me take my inhalers for asthma more often. Thanks for addressing this medications useage.
The label on the box when it first came out read, “may cause a false sense of well being”. I took it when it first came out for stress headaches and it made me happy and productive but, it also caused me to have a seizure that almost killed me. It’s dangerous and not worth a damn for pain anymore than a headache or a sore toe.
tramadol doesn't help me with my pain, C 6 and C7 I lost them at my job . In the beginning I was on oxycontin, then oxycode, now tramadol, big let down. ( I remember taking them in 8th grade for heavy periods )
I’ve been taking Tramadol 50mg 2 times a day plus lyrica 2 times a day and boy do they make me sick and itchy but not addictive. 1 year plus and can stop 🛑 anytime I think 🤔
@@Redoption19 consider that Lyrica might the villan . I went on it when it first hit the market. Nothing but side effects at a small dose. I let my doc convince me to give it a three month try. Getting off that cr@p was worse than any opiate. Best wishes.
@@susanfowler4228 wow 😯 I have been taking them for 1 years and 7 months . Doctors reason is nerve damage to knee , thigh , hip neck , 350lb cab fell on me .
Tramadol is not a Hesdsche Pill.! It acts on the deeper pains that are created by Sciatica and Arthritis, deep bone pains. By this it means that sometimes if may take a day or two and a bit more than juft a few 50mg Tramadol to provide relief. When that point is reached it is a good idea too see how few you can take and still have the relief from pain The time to take action is when you have got into a nice 4 to 6 hour Regime and relatively pain free. Try going well beyond the normal time for the next one if that works keep it up and try again at the next level. If and when you realise that why you are feeling is not entirely due to the symptoms of your ailment, but that of "Withdrawal". Keep at the reduction process. Until that bad feeling goes. GP's are very wary of prescribing Tramadol for that reason, if you get into the 100mg x 4 hourly or morev extra care is needed; reduce as soon as possible. They are addictive!
Heads up here. Hiccups is a breathing problem reflex. Inadequate breathing. Be alarmed. Just in case you or someone else needs a self rescue for opiate overdose, Narcan is an over the counter antidote. About $15. Mine is in the fridge. Hey Doc, pin this comment!
I was given it for an infected tooth (and gum) that I had out. I only took one dose as prescribed by the doctor, and it never stopped the pain but made me like I was extremely drunk for 2 days having great difficulty standing up/walking, talking, thinking, doing anything. The closest thing I think what it would be like being a zombie. I should've gone straight to hospital but thought it would wear off within a day, coz that was a similar reaction when I took one dose of Diazapam to help me sleep when I worked night work, except it lasted 10 hours- just enough time to be 'sober' when I had to start work that night. Never again. I have bad reactions to most prescribed medication I've taken over the years and have to revert back to either old fashion first aid, or Chinese medicine to get the best results.
I’m on Tramodol, duluxtine , and Veniafaxine, as well as lots of other medication. I also use to be on Zomorph also. Oh my goodness that is lethal . I use to have my head down the toilet vomiting eighteen hours at a time when I was on that. Tramodol just make me sleepy most of the time.
I tried tramadol for almost a month. It did not work at all. Stopping it was a nightmare and the withdrawal landed me in the hospital. One if my neighbors told me it wasn't addictive but makes your brain think it is. I should have listened to her. A few weeks later she committed suicide on tramadol and everything she could get her hands on. She was in her 70s.
I used this for two days and it didnt do anything for the pain of fibroids and endometriosis but it did keep me up all night and my jaw clenched up,which created a terrible headache.I was a nervous wreck and i dont think i will ever be trying it again.I actually get better pain relief from naproxen sodium or a few tsp.of kratom in orange juice.This stuff and I do not agree.
I started it 3 weeks ago and it has worked great, I’m sleeping much better and have virtually no pain arthritis pain at all. I do also take Venlafaxine which can cause serotonin syndrome but I have had no complications.
Maybe can't spell what it is; but I certainly know what it is about and its effects as well ss the fact that not every on can tske it. Fortunately I am borderline on that One or two over my already low dosage does the job but lightens the head too much for safety. Not taken routinely but "As Required".. It is there that the problems arise, the condition at the time; Your Pain or is it Withdrawal Symptoms.. .
Worked good for pain maintainence until it was suddenly discontinued on me. Before I knew it, I was in withdrawn and was in a very DARK PLACE for a few days.
Tramadol may be effective for pain or as a sleep aid and is temporary. For pain not so much when used by those that have used real opiots for pain but for those seeking a sleep aid it is so good at 400+ mg but not so good as it is so additive at effective doses. Although recommending this as a sleep aid that relaxes you into a dream state the effectiveness is so high for sleep aid but it is so good that the physical dependence makes it too hard to avoid falling into addiction witch is very hard to get out of. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DO NOT USE TRAMADOL FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS IT IS ADDITIVE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR!
