Tramadol is not quite as strong as hydrocodone but it usually stops my pain with two tablets, four times daily, which is the maximum daily limit. Could you be happy simply because you're experiencing pain relief? I do find I'm happier too when I take them but I think it's because I'm no longer in pain. Aside from that, it does relax you because it's an opioid and CNS depressant. Not sure why you can't sleep, though. Could that be because maybe you've had too much caffeine or are worried about something? Hope this helps. :-)

Hi, Tramadol doesn't mix well with alcohol, if you feel that you want to continue drinking beer i would suggest you ask for an alternative analgesic..

Hi guys, I've suffered from panic attacks and possibility agrophobia, definitely claustrophobia for the past 20 years. My Dr. has prescribed me to take 6 5ml valium throughout the day and 2 Stilnox each night. He recently referred me to a psychiatrist who said on top of that to take 3 1mil xanax each day. I also take 60 mil of Avanza each night. I haven't had a problem taking the medication thus far. Recently I've got gout which has left me bed ridden for the past few days literally. It's so painful I can't walk. I saw my Dr. today and he said to take 2 Tramadol 50mg twice a day but the pain is still horrendous. Would anyone please be able to advise me if I can take more Tramadol for the pain or if the medications could potentially harmfully clash. Thanks in advance. Leigh.

I was just prescribed it for a broken rib bone. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm kinda scared to try it, because I drink beer.

I drink beer and have been taking Tramadol (4-5 50mgs a day) for years. It doesn't seem to effect me when I drink. BUT I don't drink more then a pint of beer at a time.

Euphoria is one of the side effects. Tramadol is a centrally acting synthetic opioid analgesic. Although its mode of action is not completely understood,
from animal tests, at least two complementary mechanisms appear applicable: binding of parent and M1 metabolite to μ-opioid receptors and weak inhibition of reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. So it's basically acts like a Antidepressant for some people. That can become dangerous because the people will start to use the Tramadol just to be happy and become addicted or abuse the Tramadol. I would talk to your doctor about it as that's a dangerous side effect. As long as you take the prescription as prescribed you should be okay as long as you talk with your doctor about it. Hope this helps! Good luck to you!

Thanks for your answer. I ran out of them 2 days ago and i really feel like i need them mentally rather than physically. i couldn't resist going and getting a re-prescription. Im only 20 years old and I need them for my back already due to work, I feel asif im becoming addicted and really dont want to be. i take about 5 a day maybe 6. are there dangers to this. Thanks again.

Yeah. Make sure you talk to your doctor about it. Therexare othercmedications that can be just as effective without the high feeling which is dangerous. Just what you said is the beginning of addiction. When you need it mentally, not physically that's when you need to worry. Feel fee to send me a private message. I've been addicted to a drug and the results that follow is not a life style you want to live. Good luck to you!

Tramadol has done absolutely NOTHING for my pain, or for my happiness... Then only thing it HAS done was make me sick to my stomach and vomit... And it's all the dr's will keep prescribing me... My only relief have been steroids I've had stashed prescribed for my dog!!

50 mgs of tramadol is equal to 1 Tylenol#3, pretty weak stuff but be careful as tramadol is very addictive and can cause siezures when you take to much...
