What Causes Sleeplessness While On Tramadol?
I HAVE BEEN TAKING TRAMADOL FOR SEVERAL YEARS. SINCE MY LAST PRESCRIPTION WAS FILLED I HAVE NOT BEEN SLEEPING WELL. I WAKE UP OFTEN AND LAY AWAKE FOR AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE GOING BACK TO SLEEP. CAN IT BE BECAUSE THE MEDICATION WAS MADE BY A DIFFERENT PHARMACUTICAL COMPANY? THE NEW PILLS ARE: ROUND, WHITE, WITH WRITING ON ONLY ONE SIDE - AN627?

Hello,
Why are you taking Tramadol drug for such a long period? It is not advisable to take Tramadol for very long. There are no proven sleeplessness side effects for Tramadol.
Maybe, you are very concerned and stressed up, this might be a reason for your sleeplessness. I suggest you consult your physician and get alternative medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
