Tramadol

- Tramadol treats acute or chronic pain and works on the same opioid receptors as hydrocodone, oxycodone and Fentanyl. Additionally Tramadol boasts some of the same activities as the SSRI class of antidepressants including Celexa, Lexapro, Zoloft and Paxil.
Initially authorities ignored the potential for abuse and addiction associated with the drug. It seems less toxic when administered as an intramuscular injection than when taken as a pill. The body metabolizes these forms quite differently. Originally not listed as a controlled substance, Tramadol was upgraded to a Schedule IV drug in 2014.
Worldwide Tramadol appears to be a major cause of abuse. Widespread addiction exists throughout Africa and the Middle East. Side effects of the drug not only include those customarily associated with opioids, but additionally it may lead to problems associated with the SSRIs.
Both an immediate and extended release form are available. The immediate release form is reasonably priced while the cost for the longer acting form varies between $125 and $270 a month for the generic version.
Legalize drugs for adults who want them. The paternal behavior of doctors is annoying.
Amen

Absolutely

been taking 50mg 1-2xday for several years without side effects, no tolerance issue. no unnecessary euphoria for chronic back pain and osteoarthritis. it has been a blessing! however, i feel as if i am being 'scrutinized' whenever i go to the pharmacy. sad state of affairs.
I strongly relate to what you say. Since this medication has become a controlled substance, and with e overreactions on the part of the doctors, it’s gotten month by month, and the dosage was cut down, even though I have a serious pain condition.

Wrong Richard
I felt like shit
Had severe depression
Only tramadol helped
I don’t believe getting off them is worse than depression I went through
I do control them though
Stick to max 50 mg when I take it
3-4 days a week
@@mickhal1681 tramadol aka scamadol is a shit medication that works slightly less than a placebo. I have osteoarthritis in my cervical as well as occipital neuralgia & tramadol does literally nothing for me. As in ZERO relief!
Lynda Pierson Same for me, it has helped my fibromialgia pain for years. Without it, it's difficult to get out of bed and get things done.

Relief I’m not sure
But for depression and mental issues
It works great
Miracle for disc pain and neuropathy as well as depression. It should be free to those in pain and severely depressed people.
It cured my depression at a low dose. By accident as I take it for pain originally. Got to keep the dose low though to avoid problems
@@johnnydiamondsmusic1673it “cured” you huh? stop taking it and well see… i went trough hellish withdrawals
That intro brought me back to the 80s
a great thowback to a cheesier time
Eighties was much better than today.
So true. Ha.
I have bi-lateral lumbar stenosis, two herniated discs, etc, and only tramadol works for me. Five years using this and no side effects. God bless the person who developed this life saving medication.

I went on Tramadol originally 400mg a day for back pain which is permanent. I only take 2-300mg a day now. No side effects. I used to get depressed now it’s all gone and it’s improved my quality of life massively.
Hi Johnny, are you still taking it for depression? And still keep the low dose ?
@@Tim_floresta yes. 2 x50mg in morning and 2 at night. Feel fine no side effects. Back rarely bothers me if I’m careful. I do notice if I don’t take them I get emotional depressed over silly things and mild withdrawal. Certainly cured my depression so all things considered it’s good for me. I’m a musician and creative person so can’t do that feeling down all the time.
Having said that this drug must never be used for effect or recreationally. And I think certain people are definitely having problems with it if taken at doses higher than 200 mg a day. If you take the maximum of 400 mg for an extended period you are defy risking problems. And the high feeling goes even on the maximum dose after a period of time. So that’s where the problem lies. And withdrawal after getting used to 400 a day in bad. That’s why I adjusted down to 200.
Thanks for youe Honesty and Truth about it.
The Healthcare system needs to use more common sense…young people take pain meds to get high…us older folks use pain meds to REDUCE PAIN!!! Geez Louise!!
I was given tramadol for home use after abdominal surgery. It was ineffective for the pain and had bad psychological side effects which resulted in a suicide attempt. Don't mess with this stuff. Its interesting that the drug company did its own investigation into safety.

CBD works great for my arthritic pain. I was scripted Tramadol for a hand accident and YUCK. Never again! I cannot tolerate SSRIs so now I know why Tramadol made me feel "weird". It was like the worst "trip" I'd ever taken, complete with teeth gnashing and constantly looking at clock hoping for the time it would wear off.
As a recovering addict I was prescribed Tramadol as a non Narcotic alternative for pain. I was so hooked and being an addict I couldn’t stop taking high dosages I began to have seizures. I literally had to go into a detox facility and retreat myself for Tramadol. I have 6 months off finally and I’m free!
The package use to say if you were addicted to hydrocodone or oxycodone you should not take Tramadol. That was when it first came out is what it said. Don't know about now.
@Michelle
For me water worked as well as Tramadol did. I don't know anyone Tramadol work for. Many drs refused to give Tramadol for that reason. I am glad you are off and standing firm. Good luck.
If you were addicted to hydrocodone or oxycodone you were not suppose to be taking Tramadol. That was on the paperwork you get with your prescriptions when they first started giving Tramadol. They gave me Tramadol. Water worked as well as Tramadol did. It never made me high or touched my pain. I do not know anyone it worked for. Many people refused Tramadol and took over the counter meds. They worked better. But Congrats on your being off of Tramadol. I wish you well.
How much tramadol were you taking??? For the seizures to start
Can you tell me how to stop the addiction please
BEST info on UA-cam on the subject. Thank you doc.
Just stumbled on this video. What a brilliant orator. Could listen to him all day!
I fuckin love tramadol, I been takin it every day for a good 9 years or so & never had a problem.
Didn't you ever feel nervous, irritated, or have sleep problems?
Yeah junky
Yeah, when you try getting off it you’ll have terrible headaches, stomach aches, muscle aches, changes in blood pressure and insomnia.
aswell as severe diarrhea
@vladimirbaeza5245tramadol is actually a weak opioid and an snri so it’s as bad as ssri’s withdrawals
Horseshit! The least risky pain killer/ anti depressant of all....
This sadist is the type that refuses a dental patient another shot then the drill hits the nerve. The patient jumps up from his chair, knocks him out cold, and runs out the door. Karma runs over dogma.
I was given tramadol for chronic pain associated with an auto-immune disorder. This was in 2006. It produced a high no different from Oxycontin or Hydrocodone (I know, I have taken both before). I developed a crippling addiction that lasted for 5 years.
I was being pumped full of these pills because the doctors told me, "It's not scheduled and not addictive, everything is okay." To this day, I'll never feel the pleasure in anything the way I felt when I was on tramadol. 10 years later, my experience with the drug still makes everything in life seem drab and boring.
Anyone who acts like this drug isn't like all the other powerful and addictive pain medications simply has not tried it.
This drug has destroyed my family ever since my wife started abusing it, is so scaring seen her going through seizures
That's my biggest fear of coming off of it, that I won't ever feel this happy again
I have tried them all. It's not. Stop spreading propaganda please.
What you can say is that Tramadol is a particularly nefarious drug since it also works as an anti-depressant, which makes the withdrawal hell. I know, as I've been through it many times. I will even agree with you that Tramadol can be worse to come off than heroin.
But it simply is not as strong as oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, heroin etc. It can't be, since the dose you have to take to get the same high will inevitably give you a seizure.
Again, Tramadol can be hell, but it isn't as strong as many other opiates and opioids.
I agree with you 100%. I actually found tramadol to be more euphoric and addictive than all the other pharmaceutical opiates and opioids I have taken. Well, I guess tramadol is technically a serotonin-norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitor, but its main metabolite is an opioid. Kratom, tramadol, and gabapentin were a trifecta for me for several years, and together they sucked the life out of me.
I am now on Suboxone, and it has truly saved my life! I might be on it forever...perhaps not. You mentioned the inability to feel pleasure after your experience. In many cases, this will resolve itself with time and abstinence, but in some cases, it never does. Suboxone fills my opioid receptors so I remain free of withdrawal symptoms, but more importantly, it has 100% eliminated all cravings. I barely even think about substances of abuse anymore. Of course, Suboxone is very controversial and is not for everyone. That's why I initially used kratom as a means of "curing" my addiction(s), but in the end, I just wound up developing a $20,000 a year kratom addiction. I tried living life without it, but the amount of sobriety never seemed to matter. My brain was always spinning and in a constant state of restlessness. Life was so boring and bleak that I even considered ending it all. I am blessed to say I have been free of that headspace and lifestyle for over a year now.
Tramadol addiction does exist and is a real problem for many. It's just that the more powerful opioids such as fentanyl and oxycodone overshadow this reality.
why did you beleive others and not yourself? Why do you treat them as Gods of your body? use common sence! God given intelligence!
with tramadol opiates adict efectivly stop heroin and methadone withdrawal
Very informative. Thankyou for making your videos. ❣✌ This drug was the only thing to stop severe teeth pain. Just sent you an email. Hope you can respond.
I've been on it for 11 years. I can't get off 😔
Mee too
But i have anxiety and back pain
It changed everything but when tou dont get your daily dose
You suffer !
Yes , it is possible! G-D can help you if you ask Him . He will give you the strength. I have been off for 5 days .
I’m here if you have any questions, at your service .
Consider it as taking coffee daily
you need to wean off with other drugs.
like codeine, sleeping tablets, antidepressants , takes 1 to 2 weeks to get rid of the strong body withdrawals , then 1 to 6 months to get rid of the mental withdrawals.
He says it's not good for neuropathy, but for me it has been a game changer. I tried the Gabapentin (I did not respond to it, nor at the highest dose) I tried Lyrica which is just as dangerous and new- it works but puts me to sleep at all hours of the day so I couldn't do that. So then I just tried OTC medicines- some in dangerous high doses- my doctor said enough and put me on Tramadol. I've been on it long-term and I am able to function brings the neuropathy pain down to a barrable level. I weigh the pros and cons- and more pros than cons. I am sure withdrawal would be hell like any other antidepressant, or pain relief medicine it should be done thoughtfully under the direction of a Doctor.
This Dr lets his religious bias cause him paranoia against people who legitimately need certain meds.
10 years of it now it’s the only thing that helps with my fibromyalgia and back pain
Severe arthritis works well
Obviously I have no pain receptors for Tramadol has no analgesic effects for me, zilch! I'm envious of those of you who find relief in this placebo.
How about a video from someone on how to handle chronic pain in an 80 year old. Instead of telling us all how bad the cures are. Just a few years ago I was active, ping pong, long walks, sailing, golf, etc. After getting off all opioids due to the govt and people like you I can sit around and watch tv all day and die faster due to lack of exercise and diet. If you are going to say don't do this , also give a suggestion on what to do to enjoy your last years on the planet.
try kratom
Totally agree with Yr comments
Facts and data well presented and easily digested. Good job again doc.
I am off tramadol since 8 days now and I am trying to Live again without this shitty pill . and I will not prisoner of this drug any more
I took it for 2 years "ilegally" for depression..The withdrawals coming off were HELL..don't underestimate what you will have to go through.
What were you feeling?
Kevin Lenyatsa you feel intense flu aches and pains ; restless legs ; sickness and diarrhea it’s one of the worst things to withdraw from , I went from 15-20 50ml capsules a day to now , 3 a day and I’ve literally been to hell and back 😔
You're exactly right Michael Steven it's a horrible as well synethic opioids
@@trishsmithdebrett4447 The use of this drug should never exceed 300 mg/day. You were taking 750-1.000mg per day. No wonder you had severe withdrawals.
Had to edit that - too many zeros. Still, too high a dose.
It has benefits to my anxiety and depression without altering anything mentally along with a low dose of clonazepam. I feel it gets too stigmatized. I also have chronic pain and they used to have me on a million (no opioid) pills that was way worse for my liver and never help for over a year and a half of taking them along with invasive procedures, acupuncture, massages, physical therapy, etc. I’m still in horrid pain so I stopped taking all those pills for good, yet they won’t prescribe me the Tramadol which helps and makes me feel normal....
Gave me terrible depression after quitting several days use in a row. Definitely affects mental clarity and is still addictive.
I remember waking up to dr ken landow on sunday mornings. Amazing video.
Why can’t the drs prescribe tramadol for people who have treatment resistant depression A controlled amount per day ? It is all what society in general feels is acceptable. Maybe the drs would get in trouble prescribing tramadol for depression. Is that why ? It’s all so screwed up
Since I had PTS depression.. my life was kind of disabled. It came upon me very often . Including panic attacks. I’ve been on this for 12 yrs. not one panic attack!! It’s like a happy pill. ( not much good for pain) so happy kills depression and the fear of it!! I’ve been given my life back . I’m full on positive that this should be left alone. I’m sorry people abuse it. But I have a good knowledgeable Docter.. and he monitors me. Every 3 months. There has never been a problem. Ok . Even if it’s addictive.. it’s far better than uptakers.. which are useless make you fat. Blah. I don’t find withdrawals as much. Here. My original condition returns. And not feeling PTS and Panic for yrs. it a shock! But it reminds me we’re I was trying to live . And these saved me. Medically speaking . Of course..
What amazes me most about this man is not his knowledge, but that he is expresses it in such a succinct yet thorough way ALL IN A SINGLE TAKE.
Amazing. RIP.
I agree, he was amazing, his depth and breadth of knowledge, such an interesting and curious mind, I was so sorry to hear he is no longer on earth. Love his videos and watch them again and again.
Tramadol is the Worst pain killer I ever had. Low dose hydrocodone is Great for pain. If your on a 10 then you and r need to talk.all those SSRI + is Hurting people's liver enzyme but my choice is Norco 5 and you and doctor talk about going up........DONT BE CONTROLLED
That was a very concise explanation of the drug. Thank you.
I have bad back issues, and Tylenol 3 is not so good for me because the caffeine is like crazy speed in my body.
Generally opioids make me throw up, and so Tramadol is the only painkiller I any find comfort from.
Yes, I get a bit high on it, but I don't appear to have that addictive gene.
I just bought some Tramaadol in Mexico for very little money, tried it out, and it certainly works, BUT, I don't feel the need to take any more of it.
Righhht that's why you're here? 😆 Hey man nothing to be ashamed of mate Chronic pain sucks.
Caffeine in Tylenol 3? Idk about that. I know some people get an energy feeling when taking opiates, and I heard another doc on here say that's not a normal reaction, and if that's how your body is reacting, you will probably be more likely to be addicted. Because opiates make MOST people dopey or tired. Tramadol didn't work for me, it made me feel funny and sick, not high. But if I were you, I'd just ask your doc for it instead of the Tylenol 3. Because buying from Mexico is prob not a good idea, I mean the risk of brining it back over the border. Idk.
Do you need a prescription in Mexico for tram? I have heard of Mexican doctors prescribing for Americans there though. Just give them couple dollars
@@larryc1964 It’s over the counter there as far as I experienced.
@@calliew311 www.healthlinkbc.ca/medications/fdb0889
Yeah, that combo was pretty common in Canada, I wasn’t making it up. I don’t drink coffee, so….
My withdrawal symptoms, for me, only include insomnia at nights and profuse sweating during the day, i mean it really helps with my depression and anxiety. I really dont see any concerning problems in using it besides the fast increase in tolerance.
Try wim hof method, and do regular ice baths.... trust me.... cold showers 3 times a day😉
Thank you doctor.... Tramadol... caused..massive heart palpitations...I"m...down to zero mg today....I want my life back...
I had a prescription from the doctor for several years from chronic pain I get flareups in my back. They took me off that and I called my world problems and they won’t put me back on it even though I only took a small amount it’s pretty sad. It really helped me I didn’t need to take more.
Got tramadol and codeine w/acetaminophen at the same time; 20 each. Tramadol didn’t do shit for the pain, codeine at least dulled the pain. Curious as to the SSRI/SRNI effect: did seem to lift me out of deep depression, but also seemed to spiral me into one 🤔
It's an snri. Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. SSRI are selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors. Tramadol is an SNRI. The common snri's are Gabapentin, Cymbalta, and Lyrica. You can talk to your doctors about them. From people I know who suffer from depression, they seem to prefer snri over the ssri.
Snri's do have withdrawals though (not addictive, but you'll feel sick as hell if you miss a dose) so if you take them, make sure you take them everyday at the same time.
Cymbalta is excellent for pain at 30 mg. It made me sleepy. I need more energy than that so I do Physio instead for sciatic pain. But Cymbalta is a huge success. It is an antidepressant SNRI
Back in 90s I took this drug for about 3 years for back and neck pain. As a side effect my temper grew very short, I was easily agitated. I stopped taking it and my normal temperament quickly returned and had no withdrawal symptoms. I guess I was very lucky. What should we take for chronic pain???
Dexketoprofen.
Cymbalta is excellent for pain. It’s an SNRI antidepressant. Start low 30 mg. It took my sciatic pain away immediately but I found it made me too tired but everyone is different. I do physio every 2nd day because I can’t tolerate meds. I can’t stay awake I don’t pay for physio. I went a few times to get the exercises I needed and now I just do them every day or second day
Had no problems with this drug either...it is great for depression and anxiety
Having tried both tramadol & hydrocodone, Tylenol-3 etc I can unequivocally attest to the fact that tramadol is worthless for pain management. Now the susceptibility to addition is a whole different topic.
It works well for me. j.s.
You're an addict trying to con people.
Everyone's body is different. I don't react very much to thinks like percocet or Tylenol 3 but tramadol does help me.
I found tramadol good for moderate pain in that it induced sufficient indifference to it. It did feel a little 'speedie' though and that was unpleasant. I would like to see a breakdown on tapentadol hydrochloride which has contention surrounding it as well.
Drug classroom does a good video about that
Awful stuff tramadol. After two years of a pill a day I got watery eyes and blurred vision. Stopped it and symptoms went away. Now I take an occasional OTC naproxen and just rest.
Nsaids do nothing for me, but tramadol has been better then Cymbalta and other snri's they wanted to put me on.
It all depends how well you convert it in the liver
Wow, I wish I could get some of this relief I’m hearing from others. To me tramadol doesn’t even help a headache 🤕
I believe I don’t have that enzyme
I'm the same and agree with wat u said I wish I could get relief from it
5% of people who start taking Tramadol have some side effects, most go away after a short period. This guy is exaggerating the side effects and obviously has some axe to grind or is looking for attention.
Common sense tells you that if the rest of the world considers it safe after three decades of use and studies, it is. We can't help it if third world nations and uneducated people are abusing Tramadol. Limiting it here would just be stupid.
I just got prescribed this and Amytriptilin, just looked up the dangers. NOT GOOD! 😢
I get all those symptoms being married, I’ll take my chances with the Tramadol.
I found that drug to be awful, could not slip, my legs hurting all night, my nerves very bad, I was depressed, It took the pain of my neck away but the side effects were horrible.
Tramadoı alladici ağri kəsicidi asilliq yaradir mən bu bəladan 15 ildi əziyyət çəkirəm
This has been an eye opener, time to stop and start a schedule. Been using this for 8 years for my spine pathology......
And here in Europe it costs nothing...
Tramadol is about as effective as Tylenol.
Tramadol is a good SSNRI but affects the dopamine receptors so it is a sin to find relief.
Love this medicine!!!! The best painkiller and antidepressant on the planet or at least one of them !!!!
I've suffered with treatment resistant depression for 30 years.
Tried every antidepressant there is & nothing worked at all - even tried ECT and that didn't help.
The only thing that ever helped my severe depression is tramadol.
However since it became a controlled substance about 13 years ago I've been unable to get it prescribed.
I was only on a once a day 200mg time released tablet years ago and it was the only thing that ever lifted my crippling depression.
But since it became a controlled substance I can't get it prescribed.
I've been suffering with the treatment resistant depression ever since.
Tramadol is a good & safe medication & it's a shame it gets such a bad rap.
Imagine suffering with severe depression & being denied the only med that ever worked. It's a travesty because tramadol is effective for treatment resistant depression.
You're totally correct with your comment because it does help with depression.
I don't do drugs or even smoke marijuana yet I can't get the only med (tramadol) that even works for my depression.
No it's not some hardcore opiate as this Dr on here tries to make it out to be. Technically it's not even a narcotic.
You're very lucky that you're able to get it because major depression is debilitating.!!
Genius. Subscribed. You are my go-to doctor for knowledge of things medical!
People who live in acute pain are in deep shit! Where do you go to get off this crap when you are older and do live in severe pain?
i wonder if this Doctor is taking any substance his seems abit out of it and very Talkative.
And pay attention to that jaw action...hmmmm
Tramadol is garbage. Does ZERO for my pain. ZERO. Whenever a doctor prescribes this dogsh*t medication to me, I laugh then wipe my ass with the script. There's literally no pain relief, no euphoria, no nothing.. other than a crap placebo. 👎👎💊👎👎
Can you suggest a better alternative for lower back pain ? I only use this drug as needed not regularly and rarely go above 150mg a day.
Tapentadol is good to replace tramadol if you need higher strength pain management, but before you ask for that, try going to get massages and physical therapy and stretching. Or you may try to take a tylenol with your tramadol and that will make it more effective, but only do so when your pain is worse, and then when your pain levels lower, then you must cut down on tramadol a little. Also do not listen to this quack alarmist skin Doc, he treats acne only, and is not qualified to treat pain or depression, so he is way out of his jurisdiction to be ranting and whining about this subject.
@@lovepeace8918 thanks for the information never heard of this drug you've mentioned, don't really need anything stronger than tramadol just worried about side effects but as you have said this guy probably isn't qualified. Ye I do find exercise and streaching to be very beneficial.
tramadol is anti depression drug, because it makes your mind lazy and relax so your mind skip to think the reality, you feel happy after using trama, because it stop your mind working abnormally according to normal people. I have take 300-400mg tramadol a day for nearly 2 years after my severe accident. but the pain still there but your mind doesn't feel just because of tramadol, am trying to completely stop tramadol now.
B G.. I tell you bro for lower back pain start doing planks if possible. ask physiotherapist. 150mg not gonna help, i was taking 400-500mg a day after breaking my lumber spinal in accident, pills were fine to start with but believe me do go physiotherapist, swim float in water, planks, some exercise a day if possible with your body conditions, you can thank me after 6 weeks. get rid of tramadol. it's playing with your mind not stopping your back pain, ask your GP celecoxib instead if you really want pill
@@BG-oj6zt Oi mate, I've found both tramadol and tapentadol usefull in their own ways. IMO, you should try a low-to-medium dose of Tapentadol, as I and many others have found it way better than Tramadol for medium-to-strong pain management. Not as many side effect from Tapentadol either, and usually it's cheaper as well.
This guy is just rambling and all over the place, quite annoying to watch.
I just got prescribed tramadol hcl 37.5mg + paracetamol 325mg, they both in 1 tablet form...I had severe ankle and knee pain and took 1 tablet and it relieved a lot of the pain...am I safe to take this without having withdrawals
How did u get on with that pill?
@GoogleUser-yj1wy It gives a feeling like I'm high in a very weird way...I do not like that feeling. I took it twice and stopped. I still have a full pack left. That was 2 years ago. Now I know why they're so strict with this med where I am. Not everyone can get their hands on it cause it can be abused to get high.
In 2021 I can buy 2 boxes of 60 capsules 50ml from the pharmacy without prescription...... in the uk they consider it to be a class A drug and it’s so difficult to get it prescription from the Dr .........🙈😳
Where Pakistan? I'm in Toronto you have to be prescribed it ughhh lol
Is it just me or this doctor just reads useless information and doesnt use personal experience or just a genersl overview,he classifies every person who takes medication for pain and the onee who abuse them which you shouldn't do,but he thinks that if you take a painkiller for pain your an addict no matter what
Andrew Rivard this doc is a pole smoker
Andrew Rivard no bro it’s this idiot doctor!
One of the first drugs that got me hooked on opioids. Withdrawals are bad. Just the same all around.
REST IN PEACE DR HE HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE
I took tramadol for 8 years for fibromyalgia and it was wonderful . . I used the 50 mil 2 in the morning and2 before dinner . . It took 8 years for my tolerance to go up. It works wonders for humans and animals. I did not drink , but do use ambien for sleep. Tramadol is a great medication. This guy is very negative!
Yes its first line treatment for Fibromyalgia and does help, as does massage, stretching, meditation, prayers, and lowering your stress also diet to lower inflammation. Also this video was made by a dermatologist who is not qualified to speak on pain medications, as he only treats acne.
I agree
Most likely paid to do this video
For me
I have depression
Since tramadol 2 month ago
I feel great
50 mg early morning
3-4 times a week
I make sure I control it
♦️my saying
Better addicted and happy
Rather than
Depression and evil thoughts without it
Hey let’s face it
Isn’t smoking addictive
Alcohol
Coffee
Sex
If I don’t have coffee or sex for days
I go crazy

This doctor is indeed negative. He explains very well the adverse effects of medicines, but not the good ones!
I spent a whole year, 365 days, in facial pain. It was shit. I tried acetaminopheb, iboprufen, then neurontin, lyrica, acupuncture, amitriptiline...to no effect. When at last I managed to persuade my doctor to prescribe tramadol to me, the pain disappeared in 15 minutes!!!!
After 5 years on it, however, I started to feel ugly effects: nightmares, palpitations on waking up, irritability, and agitation. I would like to know the side effects IN THE LONG RUN, and above all, what to take instead of it, because I am terrified of returning to my original pain, which it seems to be neuropathic. No doctor has an anwer. I am Spanish.
Sir, you are an absolute genius
I’ve been taking it for 15 yrs. other uptakers did not work. Dry mouth jitters. But with tramadol. I have a life.. they won’t prescribe it now. I’m 75. Do you really think it matters. Withdrawals could be dangerous for me. Filter who may not be good risks. It’s only thing that works for me. I’ve tried many.. almost dying once from Amatripaline .. reaction. Could not breathe . What do u suggest ..
Try kratom.
Tramadol is a good antidepressant but in this addiction world it has become a value morality issue . So people suffering from depression find relief end up in NA suicidal and telling everyone how well things are going since stopping there addiction.😂
Tramadol compared to every antidepressant benzodiazepines and antipsychotics in this peer reviewed study had a rating by those who used it 9.7 SO WHAT IS THE VERDICT . THORAZINE AND PADDED CELL OR?
Great stuff, Like someone else said, God bless the person who developed this med.
Also drops r common for oral use in Europe.Very bad for skin,expecially on face.
Im in Germany. Had the drops for about 6 years until my dr. decided to switch me to 200 mg tabs. I dont know which is worse...probably the drops.
@Michelle Hello,i think it s nearly the same,if capsules r immediate ralease,not extended release .In that case one capsule is 50 mg, and 4 drops r also 50 mg.

I was prescribed tramadol for a sinus infection, for pain obviously. Didn't do a whole lot for my pain. I gave me the most vivid and crazy dreams I've ever had in my life. So vivid I remember the dreams.
10:50
I found Tramadol effective for acute pain but stopped taking it because it brought on panic attacks. I don't like it.
For how long were you taking it & how many at a time?
@@kevinlenyatsa3648 On and off for a year. It was a good pain killer for me. However the prescribed 60 mg caused the panic.
Still isn't a good option for people who are depressed and in chronic pain who are taking both an anti-depressant and an opiod in any case?
ty for this research... subbed liked
I absolutely love my tramadol within 30 mins of taking them I'm buzzing around high as a kite chain smoking doing housework etc
Yeah, why does it make you feel totally content doing mundane tasks like housework? When I'm on it, I can happily do mundane tasks for hours. It makes me feel happier like an anti depressant
@@gearoftones8585 all opiates cause a sense of contentment. But tramadol an a few other opiates give the user energy to actually do the tasks .
@@mp-uy9sv yeah, I actually work and perform better since being prescribed it 12 years ago. Mundane tasks don't bother me, I'm more motivated as well. I've achieved more in my last 12 years than ever before. I'm terrified to lose all of that.
For whatever reason, it's had a positive impact on my mental wellbeing. I don't drink alcohol at all but used to be a regular drinker in my 20s. About 3 nights a week I would drink quite a lot. Now I drink nothing at all and don't miss it one bit.
Why don't we get that feeling of contentment in our brains naturally? I can still feel down on Tramadol if something bad happens but there's no doubt I always feel like I can cope and never feel hopeless.
This drug is a trap.
@@gearoftones8585 It's because it is also a SNRI, which means it raises your serotonin(your happy neurotransmitter) and norepinephrine(your noradrenaline), which improves mood and it also upregulates your D2 and D3 dopamine receptors, which has been found to correlate with motivation and incidentally, LESS addiction towards foods or any addictive behaviours. In a way, low dose of tramadol plus your own genes if compatible, will result in tramadol being very beneficial to you in low doses for mood, anxiety and depression.
Bad withdrawl. My stomach was killing me.
I like this guy..he know his stuff.
I wish I would have had this info sooner. Thank you for sharing now tho. I’m in day 6 of a tramadol withdrawal myself. It’s holy hell. I was on 600-800mg a day for three years because hey, it’s only tramadol right!? Pffft! I’m going to make it thru but I wish more people knew what the withdrawal was like. Please be cautious with these opioids folks. They are bad
T Shaw bad,lol,don’t ever try oxy,,freakin nitemere!!
Pat Trubia I wasn’t really trying to compete or anything but yeah thanks for the advice
That is a very big amount
I’m on 50 mg
For anxiety
Maybe you took for pain I don’t know
But tramadol is better than any drug for anxiety
Mick Hal yes I would think tramadol would be a much better drug for treatment of anxiety than for pain. It worked beautifully for keeping my mood nice and stable which I also had issues with but was taking it for pain. It never really helped with that anyway and before I Knew it I was addicted and didn’t want to give up the good “normal” feeling I got from it. I wish you the best and am happy that is working for you in that manner. I know finding a good anti anxiety medication that doesn’t drag you down can be tough and I’m glad you found something that’s working for you. Many blessings to you
T Shaw
Thank for the kind words
I have tried many including srris
Could not feel much relief
❗️but hey
I can tell you that Kratom will help your pain disappear
I’m amazed about people around me the relief their getting from it
Including withdraws
Maybe something you could try if your having issues
Good luck
Jordan Peterson has lost some hair since
I wish tramadol worked for me...
Tramadol took it once had me up all nite itching.not for me
Very good information nice one doc
wellnowdoctor , hey doc.. you couldnt prescribe me a box..? my back is killing me here..
Can you take tramadol if you're going through Oxycodone withdrawal?
It prolly would be strong enough to provide full relief. I took kratom..its the lesser of all the evils.
V Ery interesting Sir!
You seem to really know your subject and there is a ton of information!
I fwd the link to my surgeon in Paris France!...
👍
What if i told you 50mg a day and no Asthma attacks for 4 months now🙄 For some reason it shortcircuits it. Now no more Singular, claritin, steroid sprays etc and now im more alert and way more active. But i will let my Doctor think im taking it for pain until i reach the 1 yr mark. Dont wana open my big mouth and it stop working 😐 Wish me luck-will keep you posted👍👍👍
Keep me updated - I’m on a similar path. Good luck
lucy bond month 5 a tad of sinus but asthma is totally under control. This works great so far👍 and i am one of the most allergic people around. Lets just say i could loose both legs and it wouldn’t compare to this asthma👍
Abuse any drug is not good
Tramadol is great for mental issues
Just control it
Feeling better has no limits
Feeling bad is terrible
Tramadol for me
I have nervpain in the back and in my leg and foot...i huse Tramadol 37,5mg/Paracetamol Krka 325mg.....but it does not work.
This info is outdated as far as Fibromyalgia. After being forced through the "first line drugs" for fibro which are antidepressants and all had terrible side effects plus withdrawals Tramdol worked for me. There are studies showing Tramdol for fibro can work as atreatment and patients gave a 9.2 out of 10.
I take just 50mg tramadol twice a day and I take it purely because it’s so bad coming off it, withdrawal even on this small dose is awful. Here in the UK tramadol is a controlled drug and has been for several years now.
Tramadol has destroyed my life,withdrawal has lasted two and half months,extreme agony ,and extreme anxiety,and im suffering from debilitating severe nerve pain,muscle twitching,stomach cramps,memory loss,anxiety is literally killing me not exaggerating,toothache,headaches,neckache,stomach pain,high blood pressure,diarrhea,depression suicidal all the time

How did tramadol destroy your life
Is it fair to say you ruined your life by abusing it
I’m in tramadol
It saved my life
Out of anxiety and depression
I only take 50 a day
But not every day
I’m now 10 days without
No problem
I might take it later if needed
If you abuse any drug you will have this issue
tramadol is anti depression drug, because it makes your mind lazy and relax so your mind skip to think the reality, you feel happy after using trama, because it stop your mind working abnormally according to normal people. I have take 300-400mg tramadol a day for nearly 2 years after my severe accident. but the pain still there but your mind doesn't feel just because of tramadol, am trying to completely stop tramadol now.
@@mickhal1681, who the fuck do you think you are? Telling people what they should be thinking and feeling. When I meet people like you, they think, what the fuck was I thinking saying that , and why do I feel like all my teeth have been knocked out.
The walrus was Paul o
Why don’t you read it properly you idiot
I can ask what ever i want
If they reply or not
It’s not your business
And I’m correct when I say people abuse drugs
I’m nit sure how dumb you might be
But when you take more than you should
Then your the idiot who abuse it
As for what ever you said about broken teeth
Writing does not make you a man or what ever you are
@Michelle
Depends what your problem is
Im sadly addicted, to me its the 2nd best drug ive taken (after MDMA), got an euphoric feeling like mdma but like half the potency, plus the hydrocodone high, feeling an orgasm through my body, the best part is that if I stayed still i would feel the body high, but if I stand up and start doing something i can do it really well, like im not high at all, its a really functional drug for me
It has to be said that, like codeine, it shows the so called "ceiling effect". It means that unlike pure opioid agonists, you can increase the dosage until a certain amount : past that amount, it won't work anymore. Its analgesic effects won't get any better, but the subject will only feel side effects. Thus, increasing its dosage overtime is completely useless and dangerous. This doesn't happen with its "stronger brother", Tapentadol, which is actually, since they are not pure opioids mu, kappa, delta, and sygma agonists, but Venlafaxine - derived meds. Venlafaxine is antidepressant. This is the reason why withdrawals are a real nightmare, even more than heroin, morphine, oxycodone and the likes. Tramadol and Tapentadol are basically modified Venlafaxine, able to act as an antidepressant and at the same time having a weak ability to bind on opioid receptors in our brain.
Thanks for your video, doc! Great job as always 👍🙏🏻
Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹
This drug intensified my pain in every part of my body glad I figured it out after only one script quit the med and my pain level dropped no more neuropathy deadened limbs face numbness blurred vision all of it is gone and I was pain equals 20 go figure! Never again
After a while on low dose one tan 50 mg day I started guy slowdown .. slow digestion .. acid reflux bad… not absorbing vitamins! I had to stop taking tramadol .. it’s a wonderful drug for fibromyalgia pain burning in muscles! Maybe I’ll be ok as needed low dose! I’ve put 40lbs in weight on with gut slowdown and took a while to figure out what was causing it! 🤷🏻♀️
It interacted with Cymbalta causing skipped heartbeat .. I’ve been itching thinking it’s MCAS but after a few days off the med my itching stopped! I was sleeping a huge amount with no desire to think.. I knew this was not like me .. it’s great for fibromyalgia.. I’m pretty upset as I know my burning muscle pain will return but I couldn’t continue! $19 for 90 with good RX discount..
it has different ingredients depending on manufacturer and this I had no control.. I would get severe headaches with some ! Why can’t these drugs be offered in topical form cream or patch.. less side effects! 🤷🏻♀️
Hi doc my czn is the addicted of this medicine and he takes and sleep and sometime he became unconsious how he can stop or get red of this medicine
Originally, I took this medicine back between somewhere between 2014 and 2016, for about six months, and when I realized I didn’t need it anymore I threw it away. I didn’t have any side effects. Started taking it in 2022 and I’ve tried to get off of it just to see how my back would do with the pain, and I have terrible side effects that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, if I had enemies! I don’t understand what the difference is, I think they messed around with the chemicals in the pills because I didn’t have this problem in the early 20s or mid 20s like I am now. That’s 2 50mgs three times a day. I’ve tried getting off the medicine several times, and I get very depressed, lethargic, and I have this weird brain zapping crap going on. I did not have that when I originally started taking the medicine many years ago.
I got prescribed it once at the emergency room, in the aftermath of a hap-hazard root-canal of a terrible tooth and facial abscess. It worked against the pain, which was amazing. But my body felt uncomfortable and I just couldn't sleep right. I won't be taking this unless there are no other options.
People physiologically can be so different and Tramadol didn't seem to effect me as far as pain but makes me feel odd like to much antidepressant.
