Tramadol cold turkey flashback

Hi, firstly thanks to everyone who contributes to this site, to know one is not alone is a great help. Anyway, on July 19th I took my last tramadol after six weeks of approx 300mg  a day. No idea about withdrawal but discovered it on the morning of 20th july, I felt awful major anxiety, paranoia, dissociated (I think is the term). Because I'd had a drink in the evening, about 6 hours after my last tram' both the Doctors I saw on the Sunday said it was probably a drug interaction so stay off the tramadol. Oops wrong advice, next day different Doctor IDd the problem but gave same advice.
Anyway after about a week I felt like I was returning to normal. I had steered clear of alcohol and on sat 2nd august I thought I would have a small drink (25ml rum). On sunday I begin to feel like I am going through the withdrawal again, less intense but the same feeling of dread and anxiety. It is now wednesday 6th august and I am still feeling that way. It is not at a constant level and with sufficient distraction it is tolerable. Does anyone have any knowledge or familiarity with this problem? I thought I had it licked but now I do not know what is going on. Thanks
