me, 10 years on 100mg Tramadol 4 x day. No nausea at all strangely. Worst symptom for me was very dry flaky skin and constipation real bad. For the last 3 years or so the pain relief factor has long since gone away with tolerance, I did not wish to keep upping the does and the symptoms and came to the sad conclusion I was simply taking it now because if I didn't it made me feel so ill especially in the mornings. Decided a while back it was time to stop and lowered dose by one pill a day weekly until now I am 11 days Tramadol free. The withdrawal is there and quite horrible tbh as my serotonin levels drops but there are many other shitty withdrawal effects. I am still glad I am doing this, I want a normal life and normal toilet stuff etc and so far I am happier. I wish I had never heard of Tramadol, good riddance. This is just me.

[@bordercollie1140]

What a really amazing attitude my friend. You should be so proud of yourself. I abused tramadol for 4 years, not for physical pain but mental. Far far from boasting I was taking 50 to 60, 50mg a day and was taking by ambulance to hospital twice, with my border collie saving me twice by alerting my family to the fact that I wasn't breathing. I did quit cold turkey which honestly was extremely difficult in a lot of ways. I personally wouldn't recommend this drug for mental reasons because although the first year or two left me floating in the clouds, the next two left completely withdrawn from life, not engaging with anybody and spending up to 23 hours a day in bed. Constipation was horrific, going about 8 or 9 days without passing stool, and I ended up using suppositories which is not pleasant to say the least. Off them six weeks now and can never say definitively I won't return, but I feel so much better now and my sleep is slowly returning to normal and have immensely more energy now. Drugs are bad, OK, 🤔. 😁.

This video is very useful, thank you so much. I cant find decent info on tramadol and tolerance because the stories are all about 'addiction'. I know first hand there is a huge difference. I've been on 100mg slow release for 8 years - and yes, thats a long time, my body has built a tolerance but I am not mentally addicted to it. I want to and will stop but like you said the withdrawal is excruiating and I need a doctor to work with me to give me meds to make that period less of a hell. It really does help me the best with the pain, that is for sure as well, really shame about the withdrawal, otherwise for me, best medication ever. (have not tried weed, one day I hope)

[@suesmith5746]

You are on a very low dose, talk to your Dr. I am prescibed 400 mg in 24 hours. I rarely take that much, but my pain varies with my activities. During part of Covid lock down I only took 50 mg in 24 hrs because I did nothing during that time.

@@suesmith5746 Thanks for sharing your story! Doctors in my country are very reluctant about tramadol. In fact when I tell them I've been using it for a while, they go crazy, telling me it is only meant for 'cancer' patients! Thankfully my GP knows me and my long history better and she does prescribe me 200mg (max she can go) but Im afraid she'll one day react like all the other doctors and put me on the nightmare meds of pregabalin/ gababentin/antidepressants/nsaids. Also some months I can't find it in any pharmacy so thats very stressful too. Wish you the best!

@@eastwest1640 I am now on day 22 of my tramadol withdrawal and it is still ongoing but I can say that the low dose tramadol I was taking was not helping with the pain at all. During the withdrawal, pain is ... .well very very strange. It's worse, it's different, then it gets better, then it doesn't, then it's true hell, then your brain takes over (or I'm guessing it does, also mentally - wow, I was not expecting such mental hell) but my expectation of 'tramadol is my forever best friend for pain' is so far turning out to be false. My body was addicted to it, so I gave it its poison, but it wanted more and more. Withdrawal is hell; I don't think I'll ever go back to using tramadol, unless really well controlled and for a short time or if I'm terminally ill tbh, this withdrawal HELL is not worth it.

On the other, it depends also on your weight -mine is 114 kg-. Other things to take into consideration: your age, the pain you feel, the kind of job you have, whether or not there is another way to relieve the pain or get rid of whatever is causing it, and your doctor's advice.

I have been taking it for 20 years. My dr doesn’t like it. I only take 1 a day but when I don’t take it I feel horrible.

Takes to much serotonin and epinephrine that's why you feel sick your body can produce serotonin and epinephrine so you feel terrible and must take tramadol... For me I have the same problem

[@islanddweller3674]

I refused Tramadol over the word "synthetic". It was offered in A and E like Smarties. Tylex is my refuge. For many years. I take it only at night as it does make me sleepy and I can manage the pain during the day. I have painful M.E/CFS and sleep is essential. The phobia re addiction? We are all addicted to oxygen etc. I am nearly 80 and need to stay mobile above all.

How do I get diagnosed with ME I am so exhausted all the time and I'm so much pain.,..Doctors don't take it seriously..Andi keep getting Anemia..my lips go blue.

[@KINGVICIOUSIG]

Take 2 50 mg what would it do

[@andrewmaudsley7692]

Eight 50 grams per day every day, along with other pain meds taken with lol, still live in pain but better on than off them, i will die with what i got so see this being a long term drug for me, i have an amazing family that really helps,

[@mairyhuff7102]

I've been taking tramodol every day for 7 years due to chronic pain in my back and knee and never had any major problems. but for the last two weeks I've been suffering dizziness everyday from mild to so severe I can't go to work is this common after so long use and does it eventually go away I only take upto a max of 4 caps' a day

[@gaberoyalll]

hi Zed that is interesting. just a thought but its possible you got an extra strong batch, try lowering the dose 30% or so. with all the covid stuff lately ive heard of of some things like this because the companies are short handed ect.. anyway its worth a shot imo

[@charlottesmith4190]

I feel your pain I have chronic pain.

[@dapperdoggy]

Have you tried anti-inflammatories like Celebrex.

[@mdrsjd]

Been taking Tramadol with Naproxen 3/6 days per week for 10 years now (once a day, although prescribed twice daily if need be). Been an absolute god send, reduces my lower back pain by around 80%...........if I`m taking for longer than 2 days on the trot, effectiveness is slightly reduced. If back pain is improved, I have no problem in stopping for say a week, I have no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever and the only downside is occasional very mild nausea. Maybe I`m one of the fortunate few, but basically its a win win for me.............

[@eastwest1640]

Golden, I have a backpain and the dr. prescribed Tramadol 37/Acetemophine 325mg what do you advise? he said to take it as needed as I cant walk more than 5 minutes, I really need it everyday not occasionaly and afraid the tylenol part in it will damage my liver, shll i ask for tramadol only, or as you tramadol and naproxine, and what do you mean 3/6? 3 times a day, 6 days a week, what dose mg please.

[@mdrsjd]

@@eastwest1640 I can only speak from personal experience. I take Tramadol, 150mg modified release, maybe 2 to 5 times per week (depending on the pain), although I'm actually allowed to take it up to twice a day! (14 doses per week), along with 500mg Naproxin tablets (which I always take with the Tramadol)........I find if I take both more than two or three days in a row the effect reduces. After ten years I feel I have no dependency and if I'm not in pain I have no desire to take them. I'm afraid I have no knowledge of the other medications you mention. So in my opinion I'd suggest taking the Tramadol/Naproxin combo and see how it goes. Best of luck........

[@desireedufrene2107]

I take it for my neuropathy in my feet and degenerative disc disease. I take it at night to sleep ,so I can function during the day . It really helps me.

[@eastwest1640]

Desiree same disc pain for me, I just started on tramadol, what is your does? is it daily for how many years you are in, I am prescribed a pill that has tramadol and tylenol inside, afraid will hurt my liver, does tramadol alone stop the pain?

Been on tramadol for 10 + years for disc damage & nerve pain. 50 mg SR once or twice daily. Going to try CBD oil & see if I reduce my dose.

[@mgreene011]

For the past 8 years, I’ve been taking 300 mg a day of Tramadol (2x150 capsule) because of a back injury. A lot of the pain is actually in my feet. I would not be able to teach for eight hours a day without this medication. Interesting thing I’ve noticed about tramadol is that it seems to have a bit of an antidepressant component to it. The main side effect for me is memory loss. I do worry about my liver, but I also need to have a life.

[@TheBoss14711]

Hi, I know its been almost a year since you posted this but I'm only 17 and been taking it for the past 4 years due to Chronic Pain and reading that you're also experienced memory loss was really good for me because I often worry that its all just me finding an excuse for not being able to do well in certain things

Tramadol isn't a benzo it's synthetic

[@mikesnyder5527]

Tramodol is not the Answer guy's I have battled with it more than you. I'm epileptic and they, in thier selves. Cause the problem. I've had 3 surguries on both arm's but the "HIGH" dose "OPE'S" Made me feel drugged. I know Tram is a Synthetic but so is Methadone. It is a nerve block assistant. As well as a reciever transluciant. Meaning it blocks your mind from feeling pain and gives you energy. BUUUUT over time your heart can fail. Your prostate wont work and for females. Your G'UNIT will lose feeling.

[@mongogojjo5944]

Tramadol fucking sucks both medically and recreationally, dude go tell your doc that you're physically dependent on the tramadol and wanna get off, tell him you wanna try suboxone (even if you really don't need it because tramadol is so weak), this will be 1000 times better because bupenorphine is far more effective for pain, it doesn't cause seizures like tramadol does and it's a long lasting opioid that you can take like once every 30 hours. Or get some kratom, because that shit is still 20 times better for chronic pain than tramadol is and is also less likely to induce seizures, tramadol can cause seizures even in people who aren't prone to them. Get off this garbage it's a dirty drug and again ITS NOT EVEN GOOD FOR CHRONIC PAIN AT ALL, you have multiple other options right at your feet, options that will actually do something for your pain and have far less side effects.
