My Dad had a bad reaction to it - it made him very disorientated - in the words of a pharmacist I spoke to this week "sends you a bit loopy". Apparently this is a known side effect for some people

Taking warfarin, anything ending on ..ol I can take, anything ending in fen I can't. So if you're taking blood thinners, don't take it.
I will ask laura, she is brilliant in the field of pain relief.

I got a mix reaction from two people i knew who took it as a anti depressant. It's difficult to say but i would take the prescription and see how you get on with it. If your not happy for one reason or another then go back to see your doctor like i did(I wasn't taking this drug) and ask for something else.
Be sure to gradually reduce the dosage when coming of them, after taking them for pain relief for a couple of weeks they made me an emotional wreck so I decided to stop without reading the leaflet, had the squits and extreme anxiety attacks for few days after that.

I have taken Tramodol for quite a long time, never had any side effects (and I do take an Asprin every day for blood thinning) and I find them brilliant.
In all honesty Doug I pesonally think that all medicines will affect people so differantly its almost impossible to go on others experiences.
Good luck with it

Like most effective pain relief, can be addictive and progressively requires a slight increase in dosage for the required effect. Can cause hallucinations. In my experience not to be taken before driving, situations involving social interaction (drooling offends) or before meetings with the boss. Otherwise its great, not many decent painkillers out there for the general masses when you get to the sharp end of life. But whats good for me may not suit you. If all else fails have some with a decent bottle of red and BANG, space cadet.
My wife had them for her back. Had to ween herself off of them she loved them so much!!!

Had them during/afeter an operation - brilliant pain reliever - no after affects apart from feeling very dozy - had a load left over and take them very occasionaly as a sleeping pill - great night sleeps
My mother used them some time back but had severe sickness with them

My mother in law uses them for pain relief and gets on with them ok, I was prescribed them and was buzzing and had an awful comedown after taking them for 2 days
My brother in law was on them for a whole for back pain, he came home one day saying that he'd seen a yellow and blue pheasant on his drive back from work. He was adamant it was nothing to do with the tramadol. I think it probably was.

Not to be alarmist but like a number of drugs of its type in my experience it can trigger drug induced dementia for SOME people and in combination with other medication. It did for my wife in combination with diazapam and once stopped her cognition returned to normal.
Have someone close keeping an eye on you for behavioural or cognitive changes and ensure it is someone who is able to argue with a GP as not all doctors recognise the condition or their responsibility. On the other hand I know people it works well for so be aware but dont overly worry

I found them weak and ineffective along with paracetamol (eight(8) of each a day) did nothing to stave off the pain(arthritis) now on Diclofenac (2) when I have been prescribed 3 a day
any painkillers are not good for your stomach if taken for any length of time apparently

We once had woman - who was picking something up from our house with her husband - collapse and have a seizure of some sort and stop breathing for a short while. We put her in the recovery position, and she was ok in the end, but she still had to be taken to hospital by ambulance. Turns out she had taken double the normal prescribed dose of Tramadol for back pains a couple of hours earlier.
