TRAMADOL

[Brookesaff]

Hey. due to the effects of the drug, it has addictive qualities and if you take it for long enough, you may get addicted. I believe that it depends on the person...I've been taking it for 4 months (for trigeminal nueralgia) and I had no problem quiting the drug.
ALSO, how does evryone go taking this drug...I was taking 500mg daily and it made me so sick, i vomited almost every day.
Peace to all and I HOPE YOU ALL GET BETTER!!

Hi Brookesaff,

I think to a degree you have a valid point. I have taken medications that others had problems quiting and I did not. I do beleive a lot depends on your system and sometimes your personality. I'm sure you've heard the term "addictive personality."

Sandee is correct in stretching out this medication to avoid stomach upset. If I read your post correctly you no longer take Tramadol? If you ever require it again I would try Sandee's approach.

And Peace to you also, Tuck

500mg is quite high if it is making you sick at your stomach try lowering your dose some.
If your taking the 50 mg then try taking them at separate times, take one and then one more an hour later if needed.
