tramadol

i started taking tramadol about 2 years ago for pain, and now if i run out i get really bad withdrawels, its like having the flu but a hundred times worse, i know i am addicted, i need too know if there would be a rehab for tramadol addiction in uk? im not sure if there will be as its not heroin or any other drug like that, its just a pain killer, if there was a rehab place for it then would i have too stay there for a few days or would they just tell me to cut down slowly? which i cant do,

tramadol cant be stopped cold turkey, it can cause seizures. it needs to be tapered. get in touch with your doctor. get a taper plan and have someone hold your pills for you and despense them as precribed by the doctor. you can do this.

tramadol is also an opiate agonist. it s just milder than other opiates such as heroin, etc. so if there r facilities treating opiate addiction, they will be able to help u. take care
