I have Crohns Disease and suffer severe stomach pain.Doctors are increasingly trying to get me to take tramadol. It does not even touch my pain and I find other codeine based drugs work far better. I am starting to feel like an addict because I have to almost plead for meds that work. I have had 7 major surgeries on my bowel and it is really tiring having this hassleDuly reported! thanks

You want to get on the heroin.

I've been using Ultram for over five years and it works fine for me. If one doesn't work and it usually doesn't if the pain is real bad, then I take two and I also take with the Ultram either aspirin or acetametafin or all three together. It has never become addictive for me ad I might add that not all pain medications work the same for everyone. e.g morphine and percocet never works on me but Demerol works great for me.

i took tramadol for whiplash about a year ago and it did absolutely nothing. i agree that codeine based drugs work better. i guess that doctors are reluctant to prescribe the same drug flor a long time because of the risk of addiction.when i had my bad back i was prescribed diazepam with the tramadol and that was amazing. felt like i was floating around on a cloud!
