Tramadol for this migraine?

I've tried everything to get rid of this headache bit nothing helps. Would I be setting the w/d back if I took one 50 mg tramadol? Not looking to get high just want the pain to go away. I don't want to do anything to set back the w/d but the last couple of days have been headache hell.

Well I didn't want to chance it so I went with the aspirin/Tylenol. The last thing I want to do is set myself back in anyway.

Where does it hurt? Try the excedrin migraine first I've tried Tramadol for headaches and they don't help me but we're all different. Can it be allergies? Yesterday I had a BAD headache all day mostly at the temples and I took 2 excedrin migraine with an alleve sinus pill and it took it away. It's tough, I know your pain all too well. Is it a headache or a migraine?

Sleep has been pretty good considering the w/d hell. I usually take half an ambien and fall right to sleep. My problem is I wake 5 or 6 hours later with my heart about to jump out of my chest and can't go back to sleep. Not a fast heart beat but just nervousness and dreading that I have to get up and go to work 2 hours later. I've tried aspirin, tylenol, ibuprofen, and just about everything else for this headache but it usually only helps for an hour or two.

The tramadol will cause a headache or make the one you've got worse.  Try excedrin - caffeine might make sleeping tough tonight, but it should help w/the headache.  You'll just need to try and catch some extra zz's tomorrow.

It won't set you back but it probably won't work either. Headache is a typical symptom. Have you tried the usual? APAP, ASA, or Motrin with a little caffeine? Ice pack to the base of your neck?
