tramadol

[buddysmom1]

IS anyone on this and how does it work for you saw my primary MD today told her I can't take the tremors in my head she feels it might be a form of a headache and prescribed this . I am reluctant too take anything b/c of my medication sensitivity but I can't cont to have the horrible tremors and head pressure in my head and ears.

Ah, okay I understand, it's hard when all the medications sound alike!!!

Nope, it is tramadol.  When he would go to the emergency room with a migraine that had lasted several days, they would put toradol in his IV to stop the migraine.  But at home, they gave us tramadol, which helped stop bad headaches from becoming migraines.

I was asking ChristyDrake that question because I think that toradol is usually used for migraines more often than tramadol.

No I am taking tramadol, took the first dose last night was not a great reaction but at least put me to sleep, and seemed to help the head tremors after a while but I did not like the way I felt on it, I am only going to use it for a very bad day, its so hot here wondering if that is what is increasing my symptoms

Are you sure you are talking about tramadol not toradol?

When my son was having migraines, that was his migraine medicine.  He had no problem taking it.  I'm not sure about head pressure, but it did help with the migraines.

My daughter takes it for pain, and she also has no problems with it.  My son took 75 mg and my daughter takes 50mg.

Hope it helps,
Christy
