This is interesting to me and I hope someone see's this b/c this thread is a bit old.

I had my last partial glossectomy in February of 2009. I stopped the vicodin/percocet about 2 weeks after my surgery and that was not a problem. I had to stop b/c I went back to work. I still had an insane amount of pain so my family doc gave me Tramadol. It was like a miracle drug. It took away the pain and made me feel happy and much more patient. I've had some restless leg problems and noticed when I took the Tramadol the leg problems went away. I decided to stop taking it when my mouth pain subsided but my legs drove me CRAZY. I could not sit still and couldn't sleep. I did some reading up on the side effects and withdrawal symptoms and did not find restless leg. I went to the doc to ask about it and they said people actually Tramadol for restless leg so they saw no problem this. The pharmasist said the same thing so I guess I should feel ok.

Has anyone else taken Tramadol?
