pain
"I take Tramadol for painful neuraliga. It ensures that I have a good night's sleep and takes away most of the pain for up to eight hours per dose. I find I need to take 100mg together with 500mg Paracetamol for the best effect: 50mg Tramadol isn't enough for me. Because of the stories I've  read about people becoming dependent on it with withdrawal symptoms, I have limited my usage to two to three occasions a week only. I can easily not take it for three consecutive days with no ill effects at all. I intend to limit my use of it in this way, unless my symptoms worsen."
