Try lowering the dose to 1/4 -- 1/2 of one 50 mg pill -- and add ibuprofen or tylenol. It is often prescribed in the US as a blend of tramadol and acetomenephen/tylenol. Ibuprophen is a more effective anti-inflammatory for muscle and/or tendon issues. Slowly up the tramadol by a 1/4 tablet at a time till you find a dose that is effective w/minimal or tolerable side effects. Women are often more sensitive to meds than men.
Yes I was on them for about 2 years had all those symptoms... Ask your doc for a different pain killer there's lots of choices out there. I was put on Celebrex after.
These are recognised side effects.....perhaps try just taking one pill?
I find taking just one deadens the pain without to much wooziness, but you have to remember these as quite powerful drugs and it's a question of weighing up the pros v the cons.
Hi I have been prescribed tramadol as I have a muscle tear in the hip. I took two of the pills at 6pm last night and it relieved the pain. However now I am feeling terrible, light headed, nauseous and confused. Is this normal.
