Tramadol

I have been taking 50 mg of Tramadol per day, once in the morning for back pain for less than a month.  I don't want to take it anymore, will I possibly experience withdrawals?

This is my experiance with Tramadol

I have been taking Tramadol for 4 years now. I tried to get off and i was in such pain, diarrhea, Insomnia, sever mental confusion, muscle aches, sweats, Limbs feel like they are on fire, flu symptems 10 times worse than any flu I have ever had! After 10 days I had to go back on Vicoden because that seems much less an evil than Tramadol. at first I thought I had some other health issue but I went to my Doctor and got a complete check up, he confirmed it was withdrawal, when I went back on Vicoden the symptom went away.Tramadol rewrites pain nerve pathways in your brain, it must rewrite other areas too, after long use.Hence the sever withdrawal. ( Long Use )
A Dr. told me tramadol was safer, WRONG. it's much worse than hydrocodon. I put it right up there with Oxycodone, you don't get the high like Oxy but the withdrawal is like it or heroin. this is a very dangerous drug!
I know I am a recovering addict. And have widrawed from all the above, Tramadol has been the worst for me.
Please pass the word onto your Doctor .Let me know if your having trouble getting off tramadol. I have now tapered using hydro to 5 mg 2 x a day. I hope I can stay on schedule but is very hard, I need to be free , thats the only thing I have going for myself.
