Tramadol is odd stuff. I am very sensitive to it, so only use 1/2 tablet when I need it..25mg... mostly only at night. It often lasts into the next day for me. I must be a very slow metabolizer. Flexeril does the same thing.

I used tramadol every day upNorth for a week, when my back went out in the woods. Then when I arrived home, my bed sort of helped my back so I stopped it totally. I only get "so many" from my doctor yearly, so I tend to hoard them..

I took one the other night though, and boy did I get the nausea side effect again. ugh It has been 3 months since I had any.

I have been using the Arthritis strength Tylenol at night... and that helps a little too. I have mostly neck and collarbone pain lately, my feet are not so painful now, as my arthritis is.
