Ultram/Tramadol is ReallyDangerous. Its slowly killing me!

To: All it may concern. Beware of Ultram/Tramadol! This is old News but a little of personal experience.
I've been taking them for several years due to bad back/neck pain. I also take lorcet for the actual pain. The ultram is just to feed the addiction. I can stay off the lorcets if I need to and withdrawals are not very bad as i've developed a way to ween myself off lorcets/percocets/vicodins whatever I was prescribed. I'm down to about 2-4 ultram a day now and ithink its really killing my mental state. Depression and anxiety are killing me. I'm now taking clonopin .5mg for anxiety and soon to take effexor 75mg for depression. I've noticed for the past 6-7 years i've been taking this drug that i've been spiraling out of control. I wish I could find a good doc to get me off them instead of feeding them to me. I miss my old self...I really feel this drug may have screwed up my past 7 years or so.
Thanks for this thread,this may have opened up a new life for me!
Feel free to ask or comment back,I have many questions but no answers..........

i didnt sleep at all for 23 nights when i quit, and badly for 7 months, DONT FOLLOW ME DOWN THAT ROAD, sleep is so healing, i eventually went to a psychiatrist cos the sleep deprivation was driving me crazy litterally, he gave me a drug called 'seroquel' it put me out like a light bulb and my anxiety and depression are clearing up quickly. cymbalta, effexor and prozac didnt work for me, but getting sleep was a life saver (litterally)

im not trying to sell you on a new drug, im adviseing you very strongly not to go too long without good sleep.

google 'sleep deprivation' and see what the symptoms are,

all the best, stay strong with your healing.
