Ultram Side Effects

[Ladybugsrcool]

It's an SNRI as well as a pain med.

Which means when u do try to go off, the people experience unbelievable depression.  I used to read that if one starts using xanax, one will never stop.  i guess due to the withdrawal which can last for months.  But, I have heard that withdrawal from tramadols is a big issue.

You already know you have an addictive personality.  In the beginning, these pills might make you feel better. And, many thought they were harmless.  But, they are an absolute bitch to withdraw from.

Yes, they can cause seizures.  And, once one has a seizure, one is prone to seizures forever.

I never tried this medicine.  But, I have read the posts and PMs of many whom have tried this.  

It is a difficult medicine to become free from.

It is not as harmless as Big Pharma promised.

Agreed.  I depend on it at this point.  I do take days off however.  I had addiction issues in the past and cannot take stronger pks for fear of falling down that rabbit hole. I know it sounds strange but the stronger ones had me making really awful financial decisions and just generally.  Of course,  we all like to think we have a handle on this stuff right but do we ever really?  I'm grateful for this place... To be able to be honest and  good info from everyone.
