Tramadol v's Tramadol SR

Posted by cactus on July 26, 2008, at 2:30:09

Ok, back pain is in the mix now, it's been on and off for years due to work. I usually have an episode every 2 years or so but now it's down to 4-6 month intervals, and during the reprieve time it's still sore but I deal with it. Myotherapy is a wonderful thing, I love it, but sometimes it's not enough. I'll never go back to a chiro or physio

I have really bad reactions to most pain killers and have avoided them most of my life because they do nothing but make me sick. Especially codeine. Tramadol or Tramal here also gave me this reaction.

Now the curve ball, I'm an alcoholic. A few weeks back I had a bad dental experience which first had me on di-gesic (darvocet) which did nothing so I was switched to oxycodone 5mg which on the 1st try made me puke but was fine there afterwards.

Since quitting alcohol my GP asked me to try Tramal again, this time around it works and I don't feel sick at all, but the dose of 50mg twice a day wasn't strong enough so she has switched me to 100mg SR. Does anyone have any experiences with the regular formula compared to the SR type? I'd like your feedback.

I also take 200mg modafinil and 4mg of clonazepam. Another thing that I'd like to add is that it has really boosted my mood, oxycodone did too but also made me really chatty to the point of being quite annoying and left me itching for more but the Tramal doesn't do this. It just makes me calm inside like I have never experienced before, I feel really normal at the moment, no high, just normal Thanks C
