"Tramadol (Ultram) is just fine with me.  I've been on it (various doses) for six years now.  It is the only pain medicine that has worked consistently without negative side effects. I take it for chronic nerve and myofasical pain caused (in part) by degenerative cervical discs. I have tried several drugs without positive results. Ultram has been the only reliable constant source of relief.  Note:  For those that are experiencing sleep interruptions, take your dose an hour or two earlier. "
