Chronic Use of Tramadol Apr 26 5:18pm | By Christy Hunt (@christinehuntmd)Comment receiving replies
I like Tramadol. I take 1/2 of 1 tablet when the over-the-counter pain killers have not worked and I'm at my limit with tolerating pain. I can take it during the day, it doesn't make me sleepy or 'ditsy', just dulls the pain so I can carry on with my life. I can't take it at night, it would keep me awake. If I have pain at night that otc meds won't mitigate and I can't sleep because of pain, I take 1/2 of 1 codeine tablet. I'm careful with both of them. 30 Tramadol will last me a year or more, 30 codeine will last me 1 1/2 years or more. Peggy

After a shoulder replacement I can't get Tramodol. I did but can only take one a day. They are so strict about giving any pain med, but Tramodol really helped me before my surgery. I don't know why I can't take 3 a day???

I take Tramadol like you and it really helps. One 50mg every now and then when Tylenol doesn’t work. Only day time not at night.
I use maybe 2 a month.
