Tramadol question for people who have taken it?

Mitzi

I've been on Tramadol off and on for over 3 years. I've read a lot that it can take about 45 minutes to an hour to start working, but when I take it it seems to work a lot quicker than that. So, for people that have taken Tramadol, how long did it take for you to feel the medication working? I'm talking more about when the initial feeling starts, not when your pain is relieved.Thanks.

I've been taking Tramadol for four years, progressively more each day. It really starts within minutes for me. I try to take it first thing; with my chronic illness every day is painful, so I'm not waiting until the pain is head on.



Clay

It really depends on the person... it effects me in about 30 mins or so. An hour at the longest

The standard rule for meds is that an intravenous medication will work immediately, an intramuscular injection takes about 20 minutes and an oral medication takes 60 minutes. It takes that long for it to get into the system, this can vary slightly but not really all that much.



Cathi

It usually takes affect on me in about 30 mins .pain subsides in about 45mins or so. I think it varies different time for different people.



Kristle

About 30 to 45 minutes for me

Tramadol is an opioid analgesic - a strong painkiller. According to the BNF it can sometimes cause nausea and vomitting and constipation and some drowsiness, flushing and sweating and palpitations, and some changes in your blood pressure. If any of these occur and you are concerned, although these symptoms are known side effects of the drug, just call your GP or NHS Direct on 0845 4647 to clarify you should keep taking them.Tramadol should not be given in patients with alcoholism because of its addictive componant, however it is safe to take for short periods at a time. Hope your back ache gets better soon. :-)

The only downside of Tramadol is the fact that it makes you constipated. I didn't experience any other side effects with it.
