ain't love grand? now about addiction...

[groovygirl]

I had to say something about the ongoing soap opera/love story that is unfolding here on the addiction forum.  Although it is nice, sweet etc etc etc, it IS another thing to sift through to get to the answers most of us are looking for.  I personally wouldn't want my love life discussed on an addiction forum, but I guess it's different strokes for different folks.

I have a question about addiction...What is in Ultram that makes it so addicting?  It isn't a narcotic...right?

You are so smart!Intellegent I mean.

I guess I missed the sweet love stories but I don't think there are so many that we still can't find the advice we need on this board for our addictions. How is this for a love story, I LOVE THIS FORUM!  With that said, Ultram is not a benzo, but just like benzo's you can have siezures while coming off of them or by taking too many of them.  I too get nothing out of Ultram (thank goodness), but my father recently took a terrible fall while on Ultram and ended up in the emergency room.  Sundown suggested its possible he might have blacked out. He always almost never takes as prescribed and just takes a hand full of pills for pain. (he is 67) (mixing ultram with asprin or ibuprofen and in the past sometimes he would help himself to my lortab) I really don't think doctors have enough information on them, but they are learning.

See what I mean?  I don't know what the hell I am talking about.  All I can say is I do not want ANY drug binding to ANY of MY frickin' receptors anymore.  Which reminds me.....

Dear Receptors,
I have sure screwed you around and not been there for you or needed you.  But, I have seen the er of my ways.  Please come back to me baby.  I LOVE YOU!  I NEED YOU!

Geezz.... How is THAT for a love story?  :)

Man, I am one sick dude...

Love to all..
Mike

You made me laugh, Thank you.  I'm sure it wasn't meant to be funny, but we have to find humor in our addition at times.
