I'm in desperate need of help.
My husband once had an addiction to tramadol about 18months ago. He had to stop taking them due to having two seizures one of witch we could have been in our car with him driving the other he had in work.
He stopped taking tramadol and went cold turkey, he didn't suffer any symptoms of cold turkey,  but I just thought he was doing really well.
I've recently found toilet roll rolled up in a bunch with 16 tablets of n+ inside. There where 5 of these toilet roll bundles all with 16 tablets of n+ inside.
I didn't know how to handle this again. I confronted him about this and he told me he had to go back on them because of the way we have been arguing. I feel so hurt I've tried to be there for so long I just don't know where to turn. He's now saying he has stopped taking n+ but yet again  is showing no symptoms of withdrawal.
please can someone help and give me some advice as I don't know where to turn next.

Hi kat,
n+ is nurofen plus. yeah I've supported my husband through so much over the last 13 years and I will always be there for him I love him and he's the father of my twin girls who are only 3. I just don't know what to do now and  what to do next. He wont go and get help and I cant force him to. any ideas what I can do...

Hi Jonesy, and welcome to the forum! First of all, I know all about Tramadol, but what is n+? I have no clue, so please write back and tell us what that is. Anyway, I was taking Tramadol 75mg and really abusing them. I was also taking oxi's and vicodin with them.  So I am here to tell you that if your husband says he's off the Tramadols and has no w/d symptoms, you could probably bet your bottom dollar that he is still using. Because when I went off the Tramadol, it was very hard and I had a lot of symptoms that my husband could definitely see.  You can't hide that. It was not an easy thing to go through. So, you have supported him through all his lies and deceit right?  What kind of advice do you want?  There is no way I can tell you to leave him, because my husband stood by me for a very long time, through very hard trials.  Please tell us what kind of advice you want. Write back soon...

Since you posted this in the "Living with an Addict" forum too...I'll reply over there.  It would really benefit you to read a lot of the threads in that forum as well.  You will find you are not alone in loving an addict and maybe get some good ideas as well.  See ya there~
