My doc just gave me tramadol 200mg becuase the 50mg twice a day stopped working after a year of using it. What kind of side effects come along with tramadol 200mg? Will it make me drousy and sleepy all day. The Tramadol that I take now gets me sleepy but thats why I take it before I go to sleep but I dont want to be sleepy during the day. Can anyone help me before I start taking this pill?

Yes you can be sleepy after taking trmrdol 200mg.Take it before going to bed. In the morning you can take some nonnarcotic pain killer like nimsulide etc.

I get tramadol 50 mg. and if I take more depending on the pain I get so nauseated beyond belief,I can only say thats what I have experienced. Why dont you look up this medication on the internet and get all of the info you want to know,the funny thing is this is the only pill that does that to me.

I have taken that medication in the past but I didn't have the side effect that you have endured. You should take the medication an hour prior to bedtime and the lethargy that you experienced with taking the drug twice daily should be greatly reduced. The drug works by maintaining high levels in body tissues and after a few days any drowsiness should be minimal. Of course every one reacts differently to medication.
Good luck.

Well, you will be sleepy again when you start taking this medication but it shoud be ok in a week or so. Also, this is not too bad of a med to get addicted to..........good luck.
