ibromyalgia
"I've not been able to take any of the newer fibro meds. The side effects and reactions were terrible. My doctor is very good to try old-school for me whenever I ask her. First we tried Amitriptyline with no help at all and increased my brain fog. After reading great reviews on here concerning TRAMADOL, we tried that. I had almost immediate results. I've been on it about 2-3 months now and doing very well. It doesn't totally remove  the pain, but does take the edge off to help quite a bit. It has also been a great sleep aid if taken about two hours before bedtime. As others have said, I did wake with a headache for the first 3-5 days, but then they stopped. I have ZERO bad side effects and love being able to take this great old school med :)"
