Dear Molytex,
It sounds like you have already done extensive research on chemical imbalance, drug side effects and interactions. The good news is that among most painkillers, Tramadol has one of the shortest withdrawals. Usually after about 2 weeks of stopping Tramadol use, your endorphins stabilizes and you start feeling better, so you are right there.
In response to your question, you are being very reasonable. It also seems that the worst of the withdrawal symptoms are already behind you. The only advise I can give at this point is for you to start exercising if you are physically and medically fit to do so. Exercise helps produce endorphins which in turn will make you feel better overall faster.
All the best!
TY very much - I have startet exercise 3 times a week and I am getting there - slowly :o)
