How do you cope with the Tramadol ?

I have the UK version of Tylenol (co-codamol) for some severe pain in my knee.

On bad days the Tylenol isn't strong enough even at the highest dose so they tried me on Tramadol. A huge mistake I was burning up, even worse headache and my speech and memory went to bits. I was surprised I was prescribed it because all the side effects a the main PCS symptoms - balance, mood swings, poor memory and cognition etc - just the things I was trying to improve
