> Hey, I'd appreciate anyone with knowledge of tramadol to weigh in. I take 200 mg Ultram daily for chronic pain and have for almost seven years (I think). I am prescribed a few pills extra every month when needed, and I choose not to take that dose (400 mg) often.

I think in low/moderate doses it acts like most other narcotics, maybe explaining the feeling of wanting to "roll up your sleeves". I agree that at higher doses it is probably pretty useless.
