"i use tramadol for migraine headaches and it works great for me. it takes the pain away, helps me relax, it&#039;s almost like a happy pill. it also helps me sleep and what i love most about it is that i don&#039;t find myself having to up the dosage at all, even though i take it almost every day i&#039;ve been taking only 50mg and don&#039;t need any more. it actually lasts for most of my day and it doesn&#039;t make me drowsy. it just seems to really be a great alternative to more harsh and habit-forming pain relievers. i experienced some constipation for a few days when i first started taking it but then it went away. i would recommend this to anybody who doesn&#039;t want to develop a habit for stronger drugs."
