I found I was "Spaced Out" with it
That's only my experience

Good to see you posting. Now tramadol I was on for a good while and was able to drive (operate machinery etc :madnoel: ), no problem. Because I had been on stronger American stuff prior to it, (got ill in America).
However. Once I stopped taking it even taking them at night made me pretty rough :? Sometimes into the next day. But then I AM a whimp!!!!
I would take the smallest amount once in bed and on top of a little to eat and build up if had to take them now :?
Frogmella is absoluetly right about the constipation too....prune juice, ( a small glass daily) is enough for me :xmas_redface:
I really hope they help you lots and you tolerate them really well.
Do let us know how you get on

I didn't feel spaced out or any nausea but having used and abused Codeine I think I'm pretty used to the feeling? It really did help with sleep too.
I have to be careful with it myself and only take it when I really need it. I have mental health issues and things like Codeine and tramadol provide me with a mental release as well as a physical one.
My partner has taken it for several years, but now gets nasty side effects if he tries to come off it. Addiction problems seem to be well known but not universal.
In my experience it seems to work for some people but not others. If it works for you, use it and good luck!
smile another smile and soon there
will be miles and miles of smiles
just because you smiled I wish your
day is full of Smiles

I've been on Tramadol for about 3 1/2 years. I'm on the slow release type tho so don't have any side effects such as nausea & dizziness, thankfully!!
I've found it works loads better for me compared to coco's, they just spaced me out & didn't help my pain.
Each person tolerates meds differently so I'd suggest giving it a go. (tho I'd still recommend a chat with ure GP about the slow release type!) I agree that you should eat something b4 taking it, 20-30 mins b4 ure dose.
Good luck.Xx xX
