Hi, i know this was posted several days ago now, i just wanted to comment... I have taken a certain medication at night for about 5 years now and have always been prescribed a brand named version. I was switched to the generic and didn't imagine any problems, however i definitely noticed a difference, undesirable side effects and not as effective. So even if you are prescribed the same active ingredient at the same dose, generic versus brand for example, and different brands can make a difference. Ask to go back to the originally prescribed version

Thanks so much - that confirms what I experienced - I called pharmacy and she said they have been sent now the old version- oval shaped- so for me not to worry- she said they was sent these others temporarily- so strange- but yes the others was very bizarre- they seriously altered my breathing somehow- scary... I have no side effects at all with brand- but I only take a small dose 50 mg 2 X a day-and never go higher- I do have to mix ibuprofen every once and again cause the pain just can get so unbearable- then of course I wake up with my hands balloons- and my stomach hurting so bad-can't even wear my wedding ring the next day- terrible situation to be in- I really think I should be sent to pain management- but for now just keeping masking I guess-

Standard dose of Tramadol is 50 mg, tablets can be round or oval depending on the manufacturer. I have received both from my pharmacist in three years. Have you changed, quit, or added any other meds recently?

No- only change is I've always been given oval but this time round- there's has to be something different added to these- i never get head aches with oval either-I don't take any other medication except vitamins-. I just take 50 mg 2 X a day
