I have been taking Tramadol for 2 years for arthritic pain. I do not take more than 250 mg at present, but this amount is reduced by me after having taken a lot higher dose previously. i MUST take T first thing in the morning or i begin to get nausea and weak with sweats.
I am not on a high dose, but need them each day or I will begin to withdraw.
I am soo tired of taking this medication, I just want off! I know I must taper down as I have come down considerably already. I'm wondering if, after 2 years, I might need medical help?
This drug is insidious, and the dependency is real.
