It helped me the first time I was on it. I don't remember why I was taken off but when it was restarted I had some serious negative reactions to it. That being said I know someone who has been on it for many years and his biggest side effect is memory loss.

What happened to you

I’ve tried it twice and it never helped me at all. But the type of pain that I have is so high it took me three years to find a doctor who would prescribe the medication dosage high enough to make a difference. My mother has been on tramadol for years, it helped her for a few years but it doesn’t do anything anymore.

I’ve tried it before. Didn’t find it helpful

I took it for many years. Highest dose possible but it can damage the liver. It worked for me for 10 years!
