Pain
"I was prescribed tramadol for a severe sore throat.  I couldn&#039;t eat anything or take my other medicines before taking it and was only able to drink enough to keep me hydrated.  Although I have experienced headaches and nausea since taking it, I can at least eat soft foods and soup and take my other medications.  The headaches and nausea aren&#039;t pleasant, but, after losing 6 lbs in 2 days because I couldn&#039;t eat, the benefits definitely outweighed the side effects."
