HI I have been having some back problems due to handling the large bunddles of paper on my job with the az republic so I went to the doctor and he wanted to prescribe tramadol
I told him im part of an addictive substance forum and that tram is one of the worst drugs to come off off I told him of all the member hwo where told its safe and would up on our site trying to get off and also declined the prescription this stuff is a wolf in lambs clothing and its addictive property's shouldent be taken lighlty he was suprized to here what I had to say the doctors are unaware of the addictive property's of this drug ....you really need to research any thing that want to put you on im bipolar so im in the PDR more then most I research everything b/4 taking it great post overopiates.....Gnarly

@tramevil thats what i found out on this site.Its a shame when u can use lortabs2taper off of trams and the w/d from those is WAY less painful+WAY shorter than trams from all Ive read.WHAT A MESS

tramadol is sooo addictive and sooo hard to come off of. I am currently self withdrawing and I am in hell!! I started taking it b/c I had problems in the past with vicodin. OMG. This is so much harder to get off! This drug is evil and more people to need to know!

you know my doctor wanted to put me on it for my back.....I told him no narcotics and he said it wasnt one....I told him I was a C/L for a additive substance abuse forum and tram was one of the worst drugs to detox from he had no idea I told him the mild opiate and antidepressant mix mad the stuff miserable to get off and I wouldent take it also told him to quit prescribing it that he was better off with vicaden or pecacett
just watch how much he gave out this drug is truly a wolf in a lambs cloth.........Gnarly

You know I didn't know either and I've been on it.  I too was under the impression it wasn't addicitive until I changed doctors and was told different.  It is scarey!
