Members shared mixed experiences with Tramadol for fibromyalgia pain, with some finding it essential for daily function while others reported side effects like dizziness, nausea, and depression that made it unusable. Several members described practical strategies that helped them, including taking Tramadol consistently at the same times each day, pairing it with Tylenol as a booster, and combining it with other treatments like Zanaflex, nerve blocks, or trigger point injections for better overall relief. A recurring theme was the importance of working closely with pain management doctors, being cautious about side effects like seizures, and trying multiple approaches until finding what works best for each individual body.

Tramadol has worked well for me for a number of years with no side effects.

I take 100mg slow release tramadol 2-3x a day, depending on how bad my pain is. Doesnt take the pain away completely but does make it more manageable.

I take 100 mg three times a day. Without it I can barely walk or function.
Fantastic medicine for me. Five years now and no side effects.

I couldn't take tramadol as it didn't help me, and it made me so depressed. And it also made me feel very sick and dizzy. ๐Ÿ’œ

I've used tramadol in the past however worked for me. I currently take oxycodone 3x a day. I've been in pain management for the last 3-4 years. They are very serious when it comes to pain medication! I also get injections regularly (nerve blocks) which are helping temporarily. My advice is to try everything! Even though none of it is permanent but you get some relief which is better than none! It depresses me to know that so many of us experiences the same things Big hugs for all on this website!!
