"i was prescribed  tramadol to take together with paracetamol for my chronic nerve pain. at first when i tried it, taking just one 50mg tablet it did almost nothing for me so i didn&#039;t bother taking it. then later i tried taking 100mg together with paracetamol and found it really helped and also improved my sense of well being, relaxation and general happiness. i take them only when necessary, and feel wary about taking it every day, because i&#039;ve read of serious addictions. i hope that taking it just three times a week will be fairly safe longer term."
