Hi Nadine'

Im on the MR tramadol, they work for me but am 2 twice daily, they work until about 2 hours before the nxt dose but can cope with that.

I was on the ordinary tramadol but was taken the max dose and still in pain, so good luck;) anne xx

Good luck with your new drug regimen. I'm on full dose of ordinary tramadol now and still in pain a lot of the time. I think I am taking them more because they pep me up a bit and I can get a bit done. I thought that was abusing them but when I told my GP, she didn't seem bothered saying that if they are helping me to live more normally then they are still treating my FM! The pain is a different matter will ask about the MR tramadol to see if she thinks they are stronger.

well lets hopeyou et a bit of comfort from the new doses of tablets love diddle x
