Back Pain
"I&#039;ve been on Tramodol for 6 months for back pain. I can&#039;t take narcotics like codeine, oxycodone, etc, as they make me terribly dizzy and nauseous, as well as give me pounding headaches. But I can take Tramodol without any of those effects. Tramodol also doesn&#039;t give me a &quot;high&quot; like many painkillers, so I&#039;m never tempted to take extra just to get a buzz. I&#039;ve been afraid to go beyond the 150 mg/day prescribed by my doc, but there are days when 150 just doesn&#039;t feel like enough, so I need to talk to my doc about an increase at times. Overall, this med does a fair job at controlling chronic pain without causing side effects. It&#039;s worth trying to see if it will work for you."
