Hi all,
Sorry to still be on the same subject. I will be quick. I have noticed since I started taking this Tramadol that I have been feeling "weirded out". Just not my regular self. I feel restless and sorta edgy. Like things are getting on my nerves more. I have this strong feeling of "I need to be doing something"...but I can't figure out what it is I need to be doing. Then when I go anywhere near a mess I have this feeling, almost like a deep craving to stop everything and clean up the mess til it sparkles clean. Believe me, that is the TOTAL OPPOSITE of me.
Is this some weird side effect? I'm only taking Tramadol as need instead of the four times a day my doc ordered. Should I be taking it exactly as he wrote? My mom says that with some pain meds you have to take them exactly the way it is written cuz if you don't it will never properly get in your system and work correctly.
Any ideas??? Oh yeah, about the "weirded out"feeling I have been getting? What makes it worse is that I also have CFIDS and it has been acting up, which means I just have to sit down and I will be passed out in 2 minutes. Kid you not, I literally pass out, like black out, like faint. Its very scary and with this almost desperate need to clean...well life is far from hunky dory right now.
Thanks as always for anything you may have to offer.

I only have a few side effects. Sometimes I will get a huge headache, but most of the time it just makes me super itchy. It also makes me sleepy, so I only take it before bed or when I am at home. I do get that weird daze feeling, but it just makes me sleepy.
Everyone reacts differently. Just watch how many you take and call your doctor if taking that many makes you uncomfortable.
There is a possiblity if you are taking medication for youe CFIDS, then something is reacting with the tramadol?
I hope things get better and keep us posted!
