[QUOTE=Hopeless;1059958]Hi Diandra.

Easy choice for me. Hydrocodone or tramadol?

Tramadol wins hands down.

Tramadol controlled my pain, did not make me sick, and allowed me to function.

Hydrocodone did control my pain but made me VERY sick and put me in bed. Could not even sit upright much less function.

That is just me. I have a lot of trouble with almost any pain med.

Hi Hopeless

Glad to hear Tramadol works for you! Can you tell us what kind of pain and symptoms you suffer from and how much you take?
I suffer from small fiber neuropathy, and for over 1 year now im taking 325 mgs of Lyrica a day. I don't know if the Lyrica stopped working , or my symptoms are worsening. This is a dreadful thing too have. I know I need to add another pain med to the Lyrica. Ive tried Hydrocodone but it doesn't work for buzzing, tingling and burning pain. Was told about Tramadol , but am afraid to take it because I heard its addicting and very difficult to get off of (bad withdrawal).
Please let me know what you thoughts are and experience with Tramadol is.
Thanks.
