ibromyalgia
"Switching to tramadol has given me my life back. My pain is not gone, but it no longer is a significant interference in my day to day life.



I had previously been on about 100mg of Codeine/day for a year prior and it had not even compared to the relief tramadol gives me. Also helps when I have tension headaches.



I've been on 50-100mg/day for about 9 months now, with minor tolerance buildup since the first month. 



No withdrawal effects if I go off of it for a few days, either. No noticeable side effects, though I'm lucky in that I don't frequently have bad side effects."
