pain
"Tramadol is a wonder drug.  I've been taking it for 3 years.  It takes care of my minor arthritic pain.  More importantly, it just makes me feel good everyday.  I take one 50mg pill in the morning, and one mid-afternoon: far less than the 300mg allowed per day.  I've tried the 300mg ER tramadol, but had to stop after 2 days. Kept me working busily till 3am each night, but I was dizzy and nauseated on the 2nd day and the day after, so I stopped.  Tramadol has done something else.  I used to drink too much on a daily basis because of stress.  Once I started taking Tramadol, I liked that feeling better and without the hangover.  In 2 months, I quit drinking altogether. "
