tramadol and muscle pain

I also have a history of addiction and abuse and get perscribed tramadol for lower back pain. Tramadol is as far as im aware addictive, it gets you high if you abuse it. If you feel you are likely to abuse it then i would advise you be straight with your doc. Taken properly there is no problem but over long term or in the event of bingeing, be very wary. Good luck.

I take them once in a while because I do have a medical problem, and I'm in pain alot. My dr. gave me tramadol. They do absolutely nothing for me yet I read about people being addicted to them. They're not a narcotic, are they?

I use flexeril for my back with good results. For me the tight muscles is so much of the cause of pain. Ice also helps me. I hate Ice but it is my friend. Heat tends to make more pressure on the nerves.

I have been taking 50 mg of Tramadol per day, once in the morning for back pain for less than a month. I don't want to take it anymore, will I possibly experience withdrawals? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/958589'>What are the symptoms of tramadol</a>.

I am asking this because I was addicted to percosets and then the doctor gave me Tramadol for pain. I stopped taking it and I feel horrible!!!! I think it was wrong on her part to prescribe this to me. She said it wasn't addictive and non narcotic. Thanks in advance for you answers.

I'm currently on Tramadol 50 mg....but only "as needed". I find it helps with the pain from muscle spasms -- which is currently the only pain I have, thank goodness! This was prescribed to me by my new pain management MD, as the one that "dismissed" me from her practice only wanted to shove Dilaudid at me (which I balked at=dismissal from practice)! I'm finding that, as I heal, I've been able to go longer and longer without needing it...but we're all very different.

its weird not like i want bad wd's but i expected more because my dosage went up a little and i was on them for like 3 weeks straight but my body just feels drained and im tired could the oxy still be in my system last dose was monday like 20 mg ...i got the runny nose and the leg pain now at work and my muscles are jumpin but i thought it would be unbearable maybe the tramadol helped i have a motrin 600 with me at work in case it gets bad later.....could it get worse today???

Pains from Tramadol withdrawals are more acute than pains from hydrocodone withdrawals and then there are those Lovely Anxiety Attacks Tramadol is famous for. Hydrocodones never gave me a panic attack. Before I had a panic attack I never thought they where all that serious of a thing. Then I had one, Damn, you feel like you are about to die, Literally. Nothing else can describe it to me, it just feels like you are gonna die.

I was taking Tramadol 50 mg. for fibromyalgia pain for approximately seven years, always prescribed by my physician. I fluctuated between 2-4 pills per day, but usually just 2 at nighttime. Last week my doctor put me on Cymbalta and told me that I couldn't take the Tramadol with the Cymbalta, so I discontinued the it. Ever since, I'm barely getting any sleep and I seem to be breathing shallowly. Even at this dose, could I be experiencing withdrawal symptoms?

Even though Tramadol is not considered a true narcotic medication and is relatively easily prescribed for pain by some physicians, it is as you have found out quite addictive and difficult to quit. As you already know, it usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms of acute withdrawal, followed by several months of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.

I also took/take Tramadol to help with RA pain. It did help with the aches and pains I got on Tx as well. As said by others, it also helped my mood. Tramadol has a direct effect on the seratonins which I found to be a positive while on tx. I am a fan of it. Mouse P.S. I have problems with opiates, they make me its. My liver doesn't like them at all.

I have not slept for 2 weeks through pain.I decided to take tramadol and the pain stopped pretty much straight away.I have had some sleep this week which is superb.I know I am going to be on pain killers for good now as it is irreversible and cannot cope with the pain.I do not want to go back onto morphine as I am proud of myself for kicking the habit even though I obviously needed it.

My husband had a previous addiction to pain pills after a major surgery and that is why when the doctor said that tramadol was non narcotic he agreed to take it after he tore a muscle in his shoulder. He has been taking them for 4 months and the addiction seem to have kicked in immediately. His personality is just hostile and it ruined our relationship totally. I have never seen such a transformation. Is this typical of this drug?

I was prescribed Tramadol early this year for "Chronic Pain." The Dr. and the Pharmacist said that it was not addictive. I have not abused the Medication. I take 100mg 2 times a day. I have also been doing exercise and physical therapy for my pain. I decided to cut back and get off the Tramadol a couple of weeks ago because I'm not having bad pain, and it has been aliving Hell. Just cutting down 50mg at a time gave me extreme anxiety.

50 mg 6 pills....

The sad thing is that I've tried pretty much every type of muscle relaxer there is and my Dr seems unwilling to prescribe any pain meds stronger than Tramadol because he's worried about addiction, which I understand, but doesn't really help me any! :( Now I know why there are support groups for this, it's pretty frustrating! Thanks everyone for trying to help.

I've been off my Tramadol prescription and I am in so much pain I can't bear it. I feel totally alone and can do nothing but cry, hurt and kick my legs. I'm emotionally and physically detroyed. I don't have a question-my brain won't work. Just want to know who is going through this, how long until it's better and trying not to kill myself. Help please. I'm terrified.

it didnt help at all. after my last peg inj. the body pains were really bad. im think about asking him for ultram(tramadol) for the back pain. is anybody familiar with this med for pain? he is giving me ambien 10mg for sleep. i don want to get addicted to anything.

There are no reports of Tramadol causing kidney damage. Withdrawal symptoms such as chills, nausea, muscle aches, and increased heart rate can occurr when Tramadol is stopped abruptly, but this is more common in patients who have taken Tramadol for several months or years.

Welcome, That's a long time to take tramadol and without doctor supervision I wouldn't suggest stopping right away, inaddition to what atthebeach said expect sleeplessness to be a big one and muscle pains. A taper plan could be better, I did use tramadol but I was way out of control up to 600-700mg a day. Keep us updated.

I was on tramadol for about 2 months for back pain. It helped some but I got insomnia from it after a while. I was told to switch to just mornings instead of twice a day and I still had some insomnia. I took Phenergan to control nausea every day so I never got it. I also took Miralax so no constipation. You can't be on Miralax long term according to the bottle but you can try Metamucil if you need it. I didn't gain or lose weight or lose my appetite. I did have worse symptoms with Xanax.

I'm on day 13 of cold turkey from tramadol and my doctors mixed it with mannyyy different drugs, including muscle relaxants. I was taking 6 Tramadols a day at the end. That was for about 4 months? I started 3-4 years ago at one pill a day. Then two and mainly 4. Foe me. the withdrawal was worse than any opiate I have been on; and that w/d was always cold turkey. So ... tramadol is a bad bad bad drug. They tell you it is not a Narcotic. Sweden in May re-classified it as a dangerous narcotic.

He did examine me and says I probably have small tears in chest muscles and shoulder muscles are all knoted. He thinks its better to be on Tramadol vs. vicodent. The orthropeadic surgeon says I am NOT to get any steriod or any other injections into the shoulder, as pain is originating from my neck. Its really impossible to sleep on my back or left side, which leaves the right side and I continually wake up and feel like a knife is stuck between my chest and shoulder blades.

just truckin along best i can taking my meds...my biggest complaint is my muscle pain...i work out, stretch, get massage, take nsaids, etc...but the pain is dibilitating! i have been through physical therapy, tried difft meds, the only thing that eases the pain is heat and tramadol :( but i don't want to be addicted. I had a relationship with a heroin addict when i was 20 about 15 years ago...and never want to go through that. I have nightmares still..

Was recently prescribed tramadol for chronic neck and shoulder pain, doc thought it would be good for my condition. so i stopped with vicodin and I took tramadol abit the middle of the month of June, maybe 3 pills (50 mg each) for 3 days. I didnt notice a difference in my pain and I just felt weird so I didn't take anymore and day or two later went back to vicodin (maybe 3000 mg/day i never pay attention and thats the problem!). Then I thought I will give tramadol a fair try.
