Title: Questions for LL veterans who used tramadol
Post by: SpeedDialer on September 18, 2022, 09:44:29 AM
Have you found it better to take it in the morning or night?

I am not completely sure but I believe it may be causing me some drowsiness

I am not sure how long it takes for tramadol to kick in but google suggests it takes like an hour

Morning -> ? not sure if this is good, it may make you drowsy during the day. But you also want the pain killing during hte day

Evening -> makes you drowsy, then can just sleep after. But I don't know how long the tramadol lasts and if it will last until the next day when you're doing physical therapy/stretches

The other sort of X factor is that at Montaza hotel (where Dr. Giotikas sends the nurses to), there is loud club music nearby from the nearby strip clubs from about 10pm-5 AM ish

Usually I can't fall asleep during that time, though I think taking tramadol the first time made me so drowsy that I was able to sleep through hearing the loud beats from the club music (and I'm not sure if that is good or bad)

It's not necessarily a once-a-day thing unless your pills are time-release.  Take it when you hurt and not when you don't.
