Ask your doctor if you can try oramorph, its liquid morphine. Maybe would work better for you than the Tramadol, if its giving you problems.

all the opiods have the same side effect profile, all you can do is try them and find the one that doesn't affect you too bad. i had "no problem" on tramadol or codeine or oxycodone, but methadone made me itch and sweat like crazy, couldn't stand it, would scratch my legs til they bled.

going to see my neuro in a couple of weeks going to mention about tramadol it makes me itch sweats,(I think im in the menopause again) also it makes me constipated I already suffer with eczema so I am scratching like crazy

All opiates make people constipated, you have to either eat more fibre foods or take a mild laxative.
