is now 139 days off tramadol! Yay!
About Me: Female, 38, City of Angels - CA, member since Jun 2008
I had a severe car accident seven years ago. My lower back was injured. L4 and L5 discs and nerve damage in my right leg. At this point I am going thru withdrawal from Tramadol which my Doc assured me was not dangerous.(IDIOT!) I'm on a few other drugs, but never ever h ... [More] ad this withdrawal experience. I was taking 6 pill max for about 6 months. Before that I was on for 4 years 2-3 pills a day. I am in so much paiin that I feel like I am dying. It's ridiculous because I have no insuarnace, hate my Dcotors now and have a very demanding job! ACK! Help! Am using The Thomas Method. If I had a full week off I might be able to feel less anxiety. No such luck! [Less]

No! Please. Don't take Tramadol or Ultram. It's a synethic opiate with a side dish of very old antidepressant in it. ...

Just a quick note to say hi! I am glad you are doing well .Thanks for your inspiration.The doc still is trying to get me to take Tram.I told him I get side effects ,severe headaches,that I am now allergic to them.He can't ethically prescribe something that makes me ill.Of course now he is trying Prednisone for inflammation,so we'll see about that.I don't know where thing are gonna go.I will need to pay for an MRI,out of empty pockets The 20 dollar a month club I guess. Take care!JSBM

Just a quick note to say hi! Just read some of your Journal and you are doing AMAZINGLY WELL and know you will be able to kick to klonapin soon too. I am taking soma and a little valium in the evening but know I need to begin to taper off them b/c of my little addictive personality. Trying so hard to be optimistic and find happiness in all the little things that I always take for granted. I am so glad you were not hurt in this recent fender bender. You really are so very good with words and wish I could meet you in person Emily You have a great sense of humor and so happy to have found you on this forum! Hope to hear from you soon! Annie
