Restless Legs Syndrome
"Since starting Tramadol 2 years ago (300 mg daily), I&#039;ve been symptom free from restless leg syndrome with no side effects.

Prior to Tramadol, I experience acute pain in legs when inactive during the evenings. A sleep study also revealed moderate leg twitching during sleep which interfered with REM. I was prescribed Requip 4mg but had a couple of very bad reactions (sudden onset of acute sweating and nausea).

I also take Tramadol for mild chronic back pain. Breakthrough pain can occur due to the relatively low strength of Tramadol compared to other prescription pain relievers. However, it&#039;s more accessible due to it being a non-narcotic, non-scheduled drug.
