I've never taken it but our lass has it prescribed but only takes it when her pain gets too bad.
Seems to put her out all night and it takes her ages to wake up of a morning the next day....
If it's a problem I'd say ask your doc or a pharmacist for a bit of advice..

"It doesn't make me sleep. It also doesn't tend to help me much with pain. Of course you could be on a higher dose than I took."
It does help with the pain a bit but the thing i notice most about it is it makes my face numb  haha |

"I would actually to try a lower dosage if anything."
Yeah i have been prescrubed 50mg x2 but i just take the one. Its a but of pain from physio work ive been doing on top of reintroducing 3 hours of commuting back into my life! Going to stay a few nights a week in a hotel in leeds so hopefully the aches and pains ease off from less driving |

I've been on it for about a year now. It is a much better painkiller than the codeine I was on before, but it tends to turn me into a zombie, and although I doze off in ma chair for a few hours, it's not real sleep and I still feel tired when I wake up  |

Tramadol is similar to codeine in that it .. It's sedative but can also be contraindicated as causing insomnia and lingering mental fog . 50mg is a very high dose. You must be in agonising pain to need that amount.
Try Tapering down to the lowest effective amount (inform your dr)
Even if you have a legitimate reason to use them. They're extremely addictive. You don't want to left a trammie addictive ghoul begging your dr for repeat prescriptions when you've recovered

Thanks for the advice.
Id say that it certainly is having the insomnia effect on me!
Immediately after my operation(repairing the cartilage in my hip) i was taking them regularly and did sense myself becoming a bit dependant on them so i got my self off taking them regular and only take them as an when needed now! Im down to my last 10 or so an after them im not going back to the doc for more... Helps i dont really have time to be going to the docs haha |

They're a synthetic opioid and far less addictive than codeine. Hence whyntheyre prescribed in favour of them. 50mg is a standard dose. |

Actually Tramadol is indicated more normally for moderate pain. It's particularly good for mouth pain and is used often for dental surgery analgesia.
It's not usually effective for severe pain. |

There's no such thing as a less addictive opioid drug, pharmaceutical companies said the same about oxycodone / Vicodin in the early 90s in the USA.. Drs handed them out willy-nilly, guess what the end result was? Many addicted users that needed to enter rehab programmes to get off them.
not by any means stigmatising them and suggesting those who legitimately need them abstain. Caution is necessary when taking them. One my friends developed a trammies dependent.. The withdrawals whilst not excruciating were a bummer.

5mg tabs for dental.. Yes, I agree though. Very useful compound when used cautiously. |

Hi... I took these for about 4yrs and unfortunately became very addicted to them... Like you I'd take them in an evening and I was guaranteed to be awake by 2am with no chance of getting back to sleep. If by any chance I first to take them/ran out of them then I would have hot and cold sweats until I got my next dose.
It took me 3mths with the help of my doctor and my parents to get me off of them and it was a horrible time.
I think if taken they should be only taken as and when needed for pain but on a low dose...

Whatever you do don't just stop taking them.
You need to reduce your dosage gradually.
I can tell you first hand that a tramadol 'cold turkey' is not pleasant. |

I was prescribed tramadol at first for my sciatica, but it did nothing for me. Didn't touch the pain, and I felt no effects from it.
It might work for something else for me though, I still have loads |

"I have these for my back but they make itch all over really badly!! Can only take them now if i take a anthisthamine tablet with it.
Doll x"
The itching is a sign of them messing with your liver. Speak to your GP and get something else. |

Tramadol isn't strictly an opioid though. Its a synthetic compound which is metabolized as an opiate and triggers the same receptor's. This makes it less addictive than a true opiate. I hatenthe damn things, they make me dizzy and sick so I always ask for codiene (30/500) instead. |
