So I have been given Tramadol 50mg. Instructions 2 pills every 8 hours for pain. The first medicine I have gotten in 1 1/2 yrs. Oh wait...except for my surgery. I did have some medicine that had me feeling like staying up and cleaning and doing something fun for a couple of days. Back to the Tramadol...DOES THIS WORK FOR ANYBODY?? I think Motrin does more. Except, since I started taking it my migraines are more often and worse. So that's the end of that huge bottle of Tramadol I bought. The pharmacist gave me the script, told me the warning on the label, then said "but for most people it doesn't do anything"! Soooo...doctor's have no clue about this?? Don't you think the dr's have heard from people they have prescribed it to that it doesn't work?! Or is it that they just don't listen to their patients, instead believing the pamphlet that came with the medicine or what the sales rep said. Forget that the patients tell you it does NOTHING! Not worth spend $2 on much less what you have to pay! I am SICK of wasting money on crap that doesn't help at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've used Tramadol for over 14 years now and it's the only thing that would cut my pain and put me to sleep. When I first started it I was told to use the same dosage you were told but I found that if I took 1 and sometimes 2 at noon and 2 at night before I went to bed, I would have no pain all day long. My doctor has since changed the instructions to "use as needed up to 600 mg per day" because like you it wasn't working for me at the dose the doctor gave me. I love it and have used only it to get rid of pain even after surgery.
