"i was prescribed tramadol for back pain because i am allergic to nsaids. i was taking two 50mg tablets per day and noticed that my mental state also improved while taking this medication. my anxiety subsided and i found that i did not get upset even in stressful situations (i work in hr which is very stressful for me). it&#039;s been a miracle for me since i deal with anxiety issues almost daily. it puts me in state of calm, but i&#039;m still me. the only side effects i&#039;ve experienced while taking tramadol have been entirely positive. i wish it was prescribed for anxiety disorders."
