pain
"I try not to use tramadol too often for the pain I experience with my Crohn's and Rheumatoid Arthritis - only when it is very severe and the strong codeine I already take is not helping - this is down to the negative side effects I experience when taking it. Although it helps with the pain and can help with my mood I really don't like the overall experience. I find it can make me disorientated; slightly nauseous and with a loss of appetite; blur my vision and make me feel weirdly euphoric (very mildly) in a "speedy" way; and while some people report sleeping better I find it has the opposite effect and I suffer insomnia when taking it. The worst thing by far though is the itching!! I always forget how bad it makes me itch!  100mg"
