I have Tramadol 100mg extended release that's in the small, shell form. The immediate release works much better. Until I can make the change, is there a way to make the extended release to work as the immediate release?
Tramadol 100mg extended release to work like immediate release?

I have to say that I understand your position but the doctors clearly want extended release so you don't get a big blood plasma peak 30 minutes after taking them. Most people who turn extended release into instant release just cut them in half.
