Tramadol.

Get the extended-release ones - much safer; far less chance of vomiting, fainting or epileptic fits if you overdose on the shorter-acting ones.

And never drink on tramadol - it can put you in hospital or even kill. They're powerful painkillers.

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./QUOTE]

That really is playing Russian Roulette, fella. The sort of advice given if you want to end up in a coffin in the near future.

Had it for back pain which put me out of work for 6 months,used it for a couple of day's and was really ill on it .

Thanks for the feedback, one thing is for certain from that is that it certainly affects people differently. I'm 3 days in now and it has certainly helped my back pain when nothing else would touch it. No nausea, no light headedness and even no tiredness with me, in fact I'm getting less sleep than before so far. Thanks again.

Does anyone have alcohol and take them ? Been on them for a while and gagging for a pint but don't want to end up in space

See my post just a few before yours, don't do it.

Reading this thread makes me think just how lucky I have been in my life with illness. Some of you guys have/are really been through it .

Realise now it wouldn't be a good idea, especially as I'm on a cocktail of other painkillers as well

I use them as a last resort with my bad back, they state you shouldn't drive with these, I have trouble staying in control of my faculties, they send me bandy!!
