I was on tramadol for 2 years and took 10 50mg tabs daily. amd OMG when I ran out it was pure hell. I would go into a state op panic just thinking about running out and then one day it happned big time. My pharmacy finally got me for filling them early and called my doctor and she cut me off.. The first day wasnt bad because I had 3 tabs left that I tool in the morning. As the day progressed I started to feel tired and just didnt feel like myself. I had trouble sleeping the first night but i did eventually fall asleep. When I woak up the second day I felt like I was going to die. I thought OMG I cant stand this. It felt like the life had been drained out of me and I had a overwhelming feeling of dread and I was serverly pre occupied with needing tramadol. By noon I had the runns, cramps my bones aked and a runny stuffy nose. It felt like my insides were comming out and I got so depressed all I could do was walk the floor and think about tramadol and how bad I wanted it. By evening I was exhausted and week, I had spent the day searching the house praing to find maybe just one pill. Didnt find any lol. Late evening foung me still walkingthe floor saying to myself OMG I cant do this and I didnt sleep all night. I lay in bed my legs couldnt stay still and I felt like my intire body had Restless Leg Syndrome. I litterally felt like living hell. I suffered like this for 4 days and only slept a few hours the whole time. Never in my life have I ever went thru anything like that. I did this for 5 days and I finnally told my better half what was wrong with me. He told me he thought something was wrong but didnt know what. This feeling went on for 2 weeks and I finnally stated to feel a little better. To make a long story short it took me going thru hell for 5 weeks before I could sleep all night and to get my energy back. I didnt feel normal again untill about 8 weeks later. That ordeal will have pass 2 years ago this april, Never again will I let myself get in that kind of situation, I felt helpless and wanted to die.. If you are on Tramadol or starting Tramadol PLESES dont take it for more than a couple of weeks. I dont care what anyone says it is as addictive as narcotics and it is just as painfull to WD from. My doctor sais it wasnt that addictive and told me to be tough and it would pass in a couple of days. "whatever" Took me what felt like a lifetime to get of it and I sware if you offered me a million dollars I wouldnt even think about ever taking that stuff again, Please beware I dont want anyone to ever go thru what I did with Tramadol WDs. Wicked drug that can ruin your life for about 8 to 10 weeks when you are getting off it.. Take care andI hope thas helps folks that are currently on Tram.. Get help getting off it.........

Man, there is problem with Tramadol all over the world. Doctors still underestimate these pills and I'm afraid they don't realize how addictive can they be.
