Tramadol is an opiate antagonist that can be prescribed by your doctor if you experience pain and need to relieve it in order to carry on with your normal life. You can take tramadol with some food or without, and depending on the form you are taking – regular tablets or extended-release tablets – should be taking it every 4-6 hours or once a day. The extended-release tablet is supposed to be taken whole without chewing or crushing it to prevent the active ingredient from being released too soon. Never take more of tramadol than prescribed and always follow the recommendations of your health care provider. If your dose need to be adjusted this should be done gradually under the supervision of a qualified health care professional that will probably recommend increasing the amount of drug used every 3-5 days depending on the form you have been prescribed.

The following mild side effects are possible, but do not need to be reported to your doctor right away unless they get particularly bothersome and interfere with your everyday activities: sweating, nausea, weakness, indigestion, constipation, sleepiness, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, itching, drowsiness, dizziness, and insomnia. Serious side effects that need to be reported to your health care provider as soon as possible include difficulty swallowing or breathing, hives, rash, flu-like symptoms, seizures, sores inside your nose, throat and mouth, hoarseness, hallucinations and swelling. Seek emergency medical assistance if you have taken too much of tramadol and experience symptoms such as extreme drowsiness, difficulty breathing, coma, seizure, unconsciousness, or are having a heart attack. A lethal outcome is possible if timely medical help is not given.
