Hi, I was told that Tramadol is a non-addictive drug and that I can take it without any concern. Now, I am positive that it is not right. Why isn’t addiction indicated among side effects?

Hi, I have been taking Tramadol as it was supposed to be a non-addictive drug. It is a prescription pain relief medication. Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic, and it can be used if a person is experiencing side effects of anti-inflammatory drugs. It affects certain parts of the brain and spinal column and inhibits spreading of the pain. The pain signal is reduced, so it’s intensity decreases. Chronic pain is a particularly delicate question, because people need to learn ways to live with it. Tramadol is shown to be very effective in dealing with chronic pain.

| Its very sad to think some belive people can "live with the pain" True chronic pain is life altering and cannot just be "lived with". I deal with it everyday. |

| I agree with Monte, pain affects everybody differently, I have chronic (unliveable) pain from Myalgia encephalomyletis(neurological/immuno - for the ppl who dont know what that is). Over the past 4 yrs I have presented/exhibited several symptoms, I still have to have regular blood tests because of the swelling and pain in lymph glands. But the one symptom that is the killer is the chronic muscular & skeletal pain - I am unable to take anti inflammatories so my doc usually prescribes tramadol. You can not learn to live with that pain, it affects my day to day duties - even conversing with ppl is hard because I am sometimes unable to concentrate from pain. The only thing I will advise anyone - if you dont need tramadol dont take it, I only take it when I can no longer deal with the pain. My doc told me it was addictive so I am very mindfull of this warning. It is a doctors responsibility to make patients aware of addictive pain relief and it is the patients responsibility to adhere to the warning. The moral is simple - dont take unless you are in pain and if you find yourself mentally craving/desiring it then stop and see your doctor immediately. |
