A member asked:

Why is it that when i take tramadol that my muscles feel restless and i feel happy and then after awhile i start to get really tired and down then i like crash and go to sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tramadol: Tramadol is a pain med that has properties of both an opiate and antidepressant. The antidepressant effect can make you anxious and the opiate effect can cause sedation and crashing. Discuss your problem with the prescriber, use the lowest dose possible for the shortest time. You are too young to become dependent on pain meds.
