Tramadol And Energy

I too have increased energy and cheerfulness with a single 50 mg Tramadol. When I don't take it for a day I am very lethargic and ache. I try not to take it more than a few days in a row. The doctor is surprised at the side effects. Thank you to those who shared a similar experience. I had been wondering if this was my imagination. I hope to stay off it several days to see if my usual energy returns as it did eventually the last time I didn't take it for several days. It's a great mild pain reliever, but the mood alteration concerns me.

Hi, Suellen! How are you?

The classification for Tramadol has changed several times over the years, right now it is once again classified as an opioid and they can cause increased energy and euphoria in some people that take them. That's why some people end up abusing opiates.

To explain Tramadol and why it causes these effects, as well as why the classification has changed so many times…

Those that discovered it were trying to create a medication that would have all of the same pain relieving effects of an opiate narcotic, but not cause the same side effects and addictive tendencies… however, what they actually created was the opposite, something that does have the all of the side effects and can be just as habit forming, but is really only a moderate pain reliever.

And in respect to that, it is good that you're concerned about the mood alterations and being careful about how often you take it.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
