"my experience with this drug is not a good one. i was taking tramadol for years and every few months had to up the dose. when i would run out because my body became use to drug i would take more and more to help with my joint pain. i would take 4 50 mg at a time 3 times a day.  which is not okay and experienced horrible side effects. i now have seizures at night and have been off the medicine for a while. the shakiness and nausea from not having the medication is sometimes unbearable. i also have tremors and moodiness as well as a zapping feeling in my brain. i would call this drug the devil. when you come off of it your pain is ten times worse than it was before. it&#039;s like it mimics the pain. it is very addictive and would not recommend it"
