"i have taken tramadol for year and have found it very helpful with my body pain especially my back pain.  i usually have to take one 50 mg of the pill and that really helps.  there are many days that i may not have to take it.  i don&#039;t find it addicting at all.  i take it only if i really need it.  my prescription says to take it 4 times a day.  i would never do that.  it helps with only one.  it can be constipating and that is why i only take one to give me  a lot of relief.  i take it now with a stool softener.  i am sorry if people find it addictive but i don&#039;t feel that at all.  perhaps they are taking 4 a day. i do not plan on dropping this pill for my pain any time soon."
