Tramadol (u) Tab 100mg Er
(Newest replies first)

I have used tramodol 100mg er tablets for 6 months for aid in limting pain in my right hip after a fall. I was taking 2 in the AM and 1 in the evening. All went good until I recently started being unable to sleep all night. The doctor did not want to raise my dose and prescribed hydocodone/ace 5-500 and I still cannot sleep after a few hours. Should the dose of 2 tramodol be administered at night and the dose of 1 be used in AM. I do NOT have pain during the day other than very minor.

My doctor switched the meds around for heavy dose at night and added 2000 mg of tylinol type meds. First night I got 7.5 hours of sleep. I am very pleased.

From what I could gather, the plasma half-life of tramadol following a single or multiple dosing is 6 to 7 hours. That means it has the ability to provide more consistent pain relief over that time span, before it starts leaving your system.

I would certainly consider doing as you suggested, taking the 2 pills at night, if you think it might help you get a good nights rest. Since your pain levels are much lower during the day, 1 pill should suffice (in my opinion). But I suppose the only real way to know for sure is to try it. I don't think there's a specific time of day that one has to take Tramadol, so you can be pretty flexible with the administration of it.

I hope this helps!
