Does this stuff really work for people? I find it completely ineffective for my pain, which can be moderate to severe. To me, it's nothing more than Ibuprofen. Does seem to give me a bit of a headache though, which I don't understand. Thanks for any of your replies out there.

My doctor gave a presription for Tramadol HCL to me and the dose was 1 to 8 (50mg) tablets per day as needed for pain.
Well, I took one about an hour before bed and noticed a mild headache that would not go away. It zonked me out.
The next morning, I wake up and I am feeling disoriented, confused and I could not concentrate for 30 seconds. I was also having mild hallucinations. This lasted for about 4 hours. I called my doctor and told him I would never take that junk again.
It seems some people do have bad reactions to this med. You won't know till you take it, so take the minimum dosage at first. If I had taken 2 tablets, I might have gone on a trip I was not expecting.
By the way, it didn't do anything for my back pain.
