this is not my first tone withdrawing from tramdol. The first time I took it was for back pain and I was taking it for about 7-8 months then I realized I had to stop but had no idea how hard it was gonna be. After two months with the help of therapy and Wellbutrin I finally started feeling normal. Now this is my second time around . This time I've only been taking them for a little over a month stopping a couple times in between so about a month I was taking between 300-400 mg a day. Today it's Goin on two days without none of course I didn't Get sleep last night and I feel like crap! Im scared of the depression most of all! I have a family to take care of and I feel really ashamed and hopeless. Last time the Wellbutrin helped but I still felt like I was missing something. The reason I liked tramadols are because they take away all my depression and make me feel like me. Happy motivaTed and energized. They dont get me high or make me feel eurphoric. They just take away my depression and make my social phobia gone. I have a 1 and a half year old daughter and my boyfriend whom i love to the moon and back! I know i can not keep using tramadol to treat my depression. I want to kno if anyone thinks an antidepressant like an ssri or whateber would help me like the tram did. Cuz i kbow tramadol is similar to an antidepressant. I've Been depressed since I was in grade school I'm 22 now and I never tried anti depressents really cus I was scared of the side effects. But right now I will do anything. I know I need treat my depression the right way before I ruin my life. Also can anyone give me some feedback on how long they think this will last. The physical part too thank u
