Yes every thing mlajl said is true tramadol is an opiate! They just put it on the opiate list and because of it having an anti depressant it is a mother to get off of! And they created this drug to not be an opiate and to replace pain meds with opiates in them! Nice try!!
It just takes a long time for the recovery see your dr. about the depression that is a killer and you will need help with it.
I've heard horror stories of people trying to get off of and withdrawals from tramadol.. bless your heart.. have heard it discribe as the pill from hell! People say it takes about 6 months to feel "right" again.. your in for a long haul for sure.. if u was prescribed this med, they can offer u a pill to help u recover.. what it's called I don't know.. I have occasional stomach pain that I need heavy pain meds for when it's at its worst.. and i asked for a strong non opiate. . They gave me tramadol.. I asked about the pill here and everyone warned me off them.. when I called the doctor back later, he told me they don't have anything to help with withdrawals from vicoden etc, but they do have a medicine to help with withdrawals from tramadol.. I know nothing about this pill other then it exist... but if u need help, your doctor may be able to prescribe it.. hopefully someone on hear who have experienced this with u will know your best option.. good luck to u! Oh, found out through this site, tramadol IS A OPIATE!!! Again, good luck to you!
