Ultram/Tramadol is ReallyDangerous. Its slowly killing me!

[catfishjohn]

To: All it may concern. Beware of Ultram/Tramadol! This is old News but a little of personal experience.
I've been taking them for several years due to bad back/neck pain. I also take lorcet for the actual pain. The ultram is just to feed the addiction. I can stay off the lorcets if I need to and withdrawals are not very bad as i've developed a way to ween myself off lorcets/percocets/vicodins whatever I was prescribed. I'm down to about 2-4 ultram a day now and ithink its really killing my mental state. Depression and anxiety are killing me. I'm now taking clonopin .5mg for anxiety and soon to take effexor 75mg for depression. I've noticed for the past 6-7 years i've been taking this drug that i've been spiraling out of control. I wish I could find a good doc to get me off them instead of feeding them to me. I miss my old self...I really feel this drug may have screwed up my past 7 years or so.
Thanks for this thread,this may have opened up a new life for me!
Feel free to ask or comment back,I have many questions but no answers..........

Thanks for the Kind words!!! Avis has been a big help to me also!!!
I've been drinking lots of water and vitamins and supplements. Exercise is not as much as I should be doing. Its been freezing here(teens for a few days) and just too cold to walk. Gonna warm up and i'll start back walking tomorrow.
Thanks again!!!

LOL it is a four letter word but it really does help aLOT especially for tram users cuz tram effects your serration levels. So getting out and exercising get the endrophins working

Thanks for the info. My sleep is starting to get better but nowhere like it used to be. Today is only day 6 without them.
I've tried Ambien on nights and the Melatonin last night. I hope this gets better soon!
I'm not sure if its still the ultram withdrawals or the tooth thats keeping me from sleeping now. I think its still the ultram.
Thanks Again!!!
