What are your experiences with tramadol ?

Thank you for the definition of tolerance level. My thought is that as the years pass and you continue to take the drug, there must be a point when increasing the dosage of drug accomplishes nothing in respect to pain relief. You're just increasing the possibility that you will be experiencing side effects. If I'm correct, I'm somewhat concerned that I have been prescribed tramadol for over 20 years.

I have been on tramadol for about 20 years also. Taking 2-3 daily all the time, sometimes up to 4. I do go into withdrawal if I forget the morning dose, by mid afternoon I don’t feel well, nausea, fatigue, aching all over, then take a tramadol and it goes away. I, also, take hydrocodone/apap 6-8 tabs over a week, sometimes days none, other days 2-3 tabs. If you have been taking tramadol for ongoing pain I wouldn’t worry about continuing to take it. I, also, use ice packs, heating pad, massager, stretches.
