I have taken Tramadol and it was worthless. Absolutely did nothing for my pain but give me a stomach cramps. Does anyone 'out there' get relief from their pain with Tramadol?

I've been on Tramadol for over 20 years with only a couple short breaks. It works extremely well for me but for one mfr., "Dr" something. I can not take it past 2pm because of sleeplessness and I take a low dose Ambien for that.
My mother tried Tramadol as well and got zero benefit from it.
I am going to ask about Topamax (Topiramate) next dr visit. I wouldn't mind trying something different nd that's pescribed for nerve pain. I cannot take the usual SSRIs unfortunately.
