Tramadol Keeps Me Going!

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

Winters bring more than just cold weather for me, it also means that the aches and pains associated with arthritis and fibromyalgia will be knocking on my door.  One of the prescriptions I take to manage the pain for both conditions is Tramadol.  

Tramadol **is classified as a narcotic-like drug but not considered one that you would get addicted to easily like some other ones on the market.  It is also one that is fairly easy on the stomach.  **Tramadol is commonly prescribed for moderate to chronic pain.  The name **Tramadol **is the generic form of the drug.  The brand name is Ultram or Ultram ER, which is an extended release formula.  

I have taken both **Tramadol **and **Tramadol ER **on and off for several years.  I only take it when I need it, as these bouts with the Fibro seem to come and go.  Stress seems to be a trigger for it.  It has never upset my stomach, although I usually take it on a full stomach, after a meal.

Tramadol should be taken by adults only and only if prescribed by a doctor for a certain condition.  There are many side effects associated with taking **Tramadol **that could be potentially dangerous.  Anyone with a history of seizures should not take this medication.

Recommendation

I recommend **Tramadol **for relieving pain that is moderate to severe.  It works fairly quickly for me and helps me to get a good night's sleep.  I normally do not take it at all during the daytime since I have to drive to work.  It makes some people very drowsy.

Recommended for moderate to severe pain.
