How to Use
Take this medication by mouth as prescribed. It is usually taken
every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Use this medication exactly as prescribed.
Do not increase your dose, use it more frequently or use it for
a longer period of time than prescribed because this drug can be
habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of time, do
not suddenly stop using this drug without your doctor's approval.
When used for extended periods, this medication may not work as
well and may require different dosing. Consult your doctor if the
medication stops working well.
Side Effects
This medication may cause dizziness, weakness, incoordination, nausea
or vomiting, stomach upset, constipation, headache, drowsiness,
anxiety, irritability, dry mouth, or increased sweating. If any
of these effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Notify your
doctor if you develop any of these serious effects while taking
this medication: chest pain, rapid heart rate, skin rash or itching,
mental confusion, disorientation, seizures, tingling of the hands
or feet, trouble breathing. In the unlikely event you have an allergic
reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms
of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness,
breathing trouble. If you notice other effects not listed above,
contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: kidney disease,
liver disease, seizure disorder, lung disease, history of drug or
alcohol dependency, any allergies you may have. Limit alcohol as
it may add to the dizziness or drowsiness effects caused by the
medication. Because this drug may make you dizzy/drowsy, use caution
performing tasks requiring alertness such as driving. This medication
should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
the risks and benefits with your doctor. Tramadol
is excreted into breast milk. Because the effects on a nursing infant
are not known, consult your doctor before breast- feeding.

you may use, especially of: carbamazepine, narcotic pain relievers
(e.g., codeine), drugs used to aid sleep, antidepressants (e.g.,
SSRI-types such as fluoxetine or fluvoxamine), MAO inhibitors (e.g.,

psychiatric medicine (e.g., nefazodone), "triptan"-type drugs, anti-anxiety
drugs (e.g., diazepam), sibutramine. Also, report use of certain
antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine) which are also present in
many cough-and-cold products. Do not start or stop any medicine
without doctor or pharmacist approval.

If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center
or emergency room immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include
cold and clammy skin, low body temperature, slowed breathing, slowed
heartbeat, drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, deep sleep, loss
of consciousness, or seizures.
Miss Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered; do not take it
if it is near the time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed
dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose
to catch up.

Chronic Pain : Chronic pain is a progressive disease state of the nervous system caused by the overloading of the body's natural pain control systems. The disease is accompanied by changes in the chemical and anatomical makeup of the spinal cord. Chronic pain is a malignancy. When it goes untreated it increases in intensity and spreads to areas of the body previously unaffected, damaging the sufferer's health and functioning. Doctors ignore your chronic pain for reasons that have nothing to do with the seriousness of your condition. Untreated chronic pain will damage your health and cause you to develop multiple health problems. Inactivity due to ongoing pain will lead to increased incidence of hypertension, heart disease, breathing disorders, cancer, and diabetes. If the disease is untreated in its most serious form, untreated chronic pain leads to suicide.
How is pain treated : The goal of pain management is to improve function, enabling individuals to work, attend school, or participate in other day-to-day activities. Patients and their physicians have a number of options for the treatment of pain; some are more effective than others. Sometimes, relaxation and the use of imagery as a distraction provide relief. These methods can be powerful and effective, according to those who advocate their use. Whatever the treatment regime, it is important to remember that pain is treatable. The following treatments are among the most common. Acetaminophen is the basic ingredient found in Tylenol and its many generic equivalents. It is sold over the counter, in a prescription-strength preparation, and in combination with codeine. Analgesic refers to the class of drugs that includes most painkillers, such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. The word analgesic is derived from ancient Greek and means to reduce or stop pain. Nonprescription or over-the-counter pain relievers are generally used for mild to moderate pain. Prescription pain relievers, sold through a pharmacy under the direction of a physician, are used for more moderate to severe pain. Anticonvulsants are used for the treatment of seizure disorders but are also sometimes prescribed for the treatment of pain. Carbamazepine in particular is used to treat a number of painful conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia. Another antiepileptic drug, gabapentin, is being studied for its pain-relieving properties, especially as a treatment for neuropathic pain. Antidepressants are sometimes used for the treatment of pain and, along with neuroleptics and lithium, belong to a category of drugs called psychotropic drugs. In addition, anti-anxiety drugs called benzodiazepines also act as muscle relaxants and are sometimes used as pain relievers. Physicians usually try to treat the condition with analgesics before prescribing these drugs. Antimigraine drugs include the triptans- sumatriptan (Imitrex), naratriptan (Amerge), and zolmitriptan (Zomig)-and are used specifically for migraine headaches. They can have serious side effects in some people and therefore, as with all prescription medicines, should be used only under a doctor's care. Biofeedback is used for the treatment of many common pain problems, most notably headache and back pain. Using a special electronic machine, the patient is trained to become aware of, to follow, and to gain control over certain bodily functions, including muscle tension, heart rate, and skin temperature. The individual can then learn to effect a change in his or her responses to pain, for example, by using relaxation techniques. Biofeedback is often used in combination with other treatment methods, generally without side effects. Similarly, the use of relaxation techniques in the treatment of pain can increase the patient's feeling of well-being. Capsaicin is a chemical found in chili peppers that is also a primary ingredient in pain-relieving creams. Chemonucleolysis is a treatment in which an enzyme, chymopapain, is injected directly into a herniated lumbar disc in an effort to dissolve material around the disc, thus reducing pressure and pain. The procedure's use is extremely limited, in part because some patients may have a life-threatening allergic reaction to chymopapain. Chiropractic refers to hand manipulation of the spine, usually for relief of back pain, and is a treatment option that continues to grow in popularity among many people who simply seek relief from back disorders. It has never been without controversy, however. Chiropractic's usefulness as a treatment for back pain is, for the most part, restricted to a select group of individuals with uncomplicated acute low back pain who may derive relief from the massage component of the therapy.
