pain
"Tramadol has completely changed my life.  After my second child, I started experiencing significant lower back pain as well as strange "floating" pains in different joints of my body.  After a terrible bout with Vicodin, I discovered Tramadol on my own and began taking it.  To my surprise it dealt with my pain and also leveled my generalized depressive/anxiety disorder! I've taken this medicine for two years now and I only take three to four, 50mg tabs a day, along with Tylenol and or ibuprofen, to handle my pains. If you have a real pain problem, use this properly; it's too bad doctors don't always understand that."
