Just a quick note to say hi! I read your post today and wanted to personally WELCOME you to this site. I agre with all you said today. Since you offered to help...what do you know about the "history" of tramadol, when it became availabe in Sweden, UK, etc. Do you have the time to research the tests/trials, etc. As I continue to recover, I am increasingly becoming more and more angry about the ease at which this drug is available to all of us. From your short post, you seem like an guy who might have the ability to get to the bottom of the whys of this drug. If won't help your recovery or mine, but it could benefit someone else down the road. Not sure how much time you have for RESEARCH, but...Fred
