I will post more things tomorrow i had a long B-day evening.
Suzi-i can maybe help i will reread your last post tomorrow and give you my 2 cents.
Very well said and super informative. It would be wonderful if doctors would become more knowledgeable, however. They know the class, but my dr. personally has told me over and over that there is absolutely no w/d from tramadol. He really isnt informed.
I actually started taking it with the intention of only taking it for a few days each month-for severe menstrual cramps. I quickly found out that you cant take it for 2 weeks and then stop. Thus, I was on my path of tram destruction................
I do agree also that patients should research any drug they put in their body, but the sad reality is that there are lots of people out there that have 100% faith and trust in their dr.s knowledge. My mother is 66, and she (as so many others like her) does not question her dr, ever.
I, however, take full responsibility for my own actions. I didnt research tram until I was fully addicted. It was such a relief during those 2 weeks of excruciating pain, that I didnt want to question it.(I have pretty bad endometriosis)
So now I am terrified of what I am going to take in a week for the pain that is sure to come. I cant take nsaids due to stomach issues...so what now? According to my dr. I should have stayed on tramadol. if you have any suggestions it would be sooooooo greatly appreciated.
You knowledge is so helpful and I hope more people start taking responsiblity for their own health. My mom is on 20 prescriptions, and I worry about her because of this.
(But I dont have a degree so dont know anything)
Anyways, thanks for the words that needed to be said. Suzi
Thanks so much. And thanks for being a friend also. Stick with me i appriciate your support from the very start
No it does not come out as an opiod bc of the way its metabolized. I can't say more on forum.
What do you refer when you say pg?
That post was presented very well and from an informed standpoint. Way to go! Clear information in easy to read format - - - do a couple more ....... education and knowledge are keys ....
what do u mean there is no drug test that tests for levels? Won't it comeup under opiods?? Is it pretty common that ppl have w/d when stopping tram?? Do u know anything about tram and pg?? Just curious:)
