Tramadol Addiction? Please help...

3 months ago I was hospitalized for a bad infection and had to have 2 surgeries.  While in the hospital for 13 days I was on morphine/dilaudid.  When released they put me on Oxycodone because I am on a wound vac and have home nurses come in 3 times a week.  My primary doctor didn't want to prescribe more Oxycodone so he prescribed Tramadol.  I have been on some sort of pain medication since March 10th.

I stopped having pain from the wound and wound treatments so stopped the Tramadol.  I noticed I became very anxious, depressed, and emotional so I have been taking the Tramadol to feel better.  This has gone on for the last two weeks.  I decided today I have to stop taking the Tramadol, but once again I am having these ugly feelings and can't stand it.  Am I addicted and going through withdrawals?  If so, what should I do and how long will this last?  I only take  3-4 .50 mg a day.   Someone please help as I am really scared.  I don't want to take anymore pills, but I HATE feeling the way I feel.
