An Experience Filled with Tramadol!

Lindsay Parmenter, January 26th, 2008

It does not matter from what medical condition I am suffering as it is not just one and they are certainly not pleasant to describe. The one thing I want you to understand that the pain comes from all of them and it is the single reason why I tried so many opiates so far. Enjoyable at first, speaking from a pain-relieving point of view, opiates lead quickly to tolerance and unfortunately to the worst kind of addiction. When their effects are down, you feel like it would be better to jump of a roof and escape the pain. For me, there was no point refraining from opiates as I would become extremely irritated and jumpy, not to mention almost thorn from pain. Then I discovered Tramadol.

It might be wrong to describe Tramadol as a breath of fresh air but so it was for me. Even if the action mechanism is not completely elucidated and doctors are not sure if Tramadol is an opiate, it has pain-relieving effects and I can obtain it quite easily. Unlike other opiates, where I had to go to extreme trouble in order to have my prescription refilled, with Tramadol (Ultram) such problems do not exist, at least not yet. The dosage recommended for my chronic pain varies from 100 to 200 mg/day and it rarely reaches 250 mg. The effects were more than I could have wished for and I have taken the decision to stop taking other opiates to escape the tormenting pain.

I usually take Tramadol with some food, 2 pills at a time and they offer me the relief I need for a couple of hours. The treatment with Tramadol has both advantages and disadvantages, which is of course valid for any other kind of medication. Still, I am glad to say that Tramadol has no effect on my mental abilities, thinking or consciousness, maintaining the same intensity when it comes to the analgesic properties. If I were to described how I generally feel when taking Tramadol, I would have to say that it's almost an euphoric mood, when a calmness strikes me and my mind is completely relaxed, just like my body. By taking the pain away and having very little side effects, Tramadol provides the relief I have been looking for a long period of time. It's almost spectacular and still hard to believe that I do not feel addicted to Tramadol.

Tramadol allows me to perform like a normal human being, enjoying life to the fullest and it does not interact with my increased need for work. I can work as much as I want, feeling alert and stimulated; the only problem is that since I've been taking Tramadol I have a hard time falling asleep. But compared to the pain I was feeling this is nothing. I do not want to call Tramadol perfect for chronic pain, but it is. The drug makes me feel calm and relaxed, eager to work and enjoy other activities, taking the pain away and enhancing my mood at the same time. I have read about addiction and the consequences of withdrawal symptoms in patients who have taken Tramadol. I sincerely believe that I am never going to experience such things.

Opiates are addictive, that is a certain fact and that was probably one of the reasons why I turned to Tramadol. I do not take the medication in high doses and I am completely confident that the effects will not decrease during the course of the treatment. I must have mentioned a few side-effects but other from that nothing has gone wrong since I started to take Tramadol. No allergic reactions, no severe anxiety or hallucinations and certainly none of the painstaking withdrawal symptoms I read so much about. The doctor agrees with my opinion on Tramadol and follows my evolution with increased attention. One can never know. The boundary between euphoria and dysphoria is incredibly thin, especially when it comes to a medicine like Tramadol. It's better to be on the safe side and take the drug as given, using the medication for the chronic pain and not for recreational purposes!
