This question is for people that suffer from chronic pain and are prescribed Ultram/Tramadol. This is not for people that use pain medication recreationally.

I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience with this medication. After missing my 2nd day of work due to being in pain and general discomfort I ended up in the ER yesterday. The doctor that I saw prescribed me tramadol, which is the generic ultram. I declined them giving me a shot of something while I was there because I had to drive myself home, so I waited until I got home to take it. After taking it and eating I laid in bed for a good long while and it just had no effect on me whatsoever. Today the pain started coming back again so I took another one.. Same result, no relief at all. Upon reading about it it says that it is prescribed for moderate to severe pain in adults. This means that it should at least work, right?

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else had taken this medication and what results they had with it. I almost feel like I'm taking a placebo or something as it is utterly useless.
