My doctor won't let me take tramadol he said it causes birth defects so you should consult your doctor to see if its ok also you should never take medication that is not prescribed to you its not safe

You should consult a doctor before taking perception medications...alot of them can be either harmful or addictive. There is mixed  information about this particular drug some saying it is harmful some saying it isnt. I wouldn't take that risk personally. I would stop taking it until you get the go ahead.from your doctor.
