tramadol

Thanks for all your replys.

I didnt think i was taking enough (max 400mg a day) to have the seizer side effect which is why i went cold turkey, but im now a bit concerened with the co codamol 30/500 as ive been on these 2 years and am on over 100 a month i didnt think these were addictive and my doctor seems to think taking those is fine, im so confused.i need to take something for my migranes and back problem i thought thses were all that were left well thats how the doctor put it.

So you recommend i stop the co codamols too? do you think my side effects will get worse? how long does it last? any non addictive strong painkillers?

There are other options available, but some Drs. are hard to convince. Here the Drs. are using some seizure meds for migraines as it is now believed that migraines are a type of seizure. Neurontin being one of them and it is also used for nerve pain.

Its codine and paracetermol at high dosages i think, it was the first pain killer i was given by my doctor they come in different stregths im on 30/500, my headaches are caused by my neck and back and some kind of tension (still yet to be diagnosed) and a couple of these seem to relax my musles make me feel light headed and tired and to start with used to take them away, not sure whether i would recommend them as just found out they too can be addictive which i was un aware of, but i must say ive been on them 2 years and when i didnt take them for a few days i was fine un like when i didnt take my tramadols so im still not 100% what to trust and the doctors dont seem to have any idea and just give them out like there smarties, i wasnt warned about either pain killers but as you can tell from my comments im currently stopping tramadol and my bodys suffering so there for tramadol are addictive. if you do decide to take them just make sure you ask your doctor all the right questions before you start.
