Hello, Peter.

My mother takes tramadol and I took it for awhile, until I started some anti-depressants. I can't take it anymore because the combination could cause serious, if not fatal, side-effects. It worked quite well for me and exceptionally well for my mother. It made me sleepy, at first, but after awhile, it kept me awake. My mother has always been kept wide awake from it. There are many days when I really miss it because it dulled the pain enough for me to be functional. I hope you can take it at night soon and that otherwise it is working well for you.
