I have been on tramadol for almost 2 years now.
Not a problem, although quite often it is not enough when I flare, so I take oxycontin.
I just get constipation, but drink Alpine tea for that and eat lots of fruit and fibre.
However lately I have been quite nauseous, and lost my appetite, I wonder if thats the tramadol, or that I have stopped eating soy and wheat products..

Docs wanted to put me on methadone, and stop the others, but I refused, I hear nasty stuff about that drug.

I wonder if there is a chance you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Cora posted awhile back about having low grade chronic opiate withdrawal symptoms. You might want to read her story here:
