It appears that Cort answered your first question at the exact same time you posted this question and he gave you a good, accurate answer.  The difficulty in finding the information was due to the fact that Tridural is the name used in Canada for tramadol and we generally use U.S. drug references.  I hope this gives you the info you're looking for.  If you have any further questions, just let us know.

im not sure whta you origional question was but I take these same pills for pain (200mg in the morning) They are time released so you only take them once a day. You can take up to 300mg per day as perscribed by doctor. The side effects are pretty much he same as percocet, only myself I don't get as 'dizzy' as when I am on percocet.
