Risir,
What problems have you had with tramadol? My doctor still has me on it, just so I can work. It doesn’t buzz me since I’ve been on it for some time now. I’ve weaned down, and continue to do so. Hopefully I’ll be off of them soon!

I was on 400mg a day, now I’m down to 300 and starting to go down to 200 on my days off work.
Hell when I got out after my surgeries for an abcess on my spine, (the absolute worst pain I’ve ever experienced), I was on fentanyl patches and gabalentin. Then I was on dilaudid orally. Since then it’s been my tramadol.

I use it. Cold turkey is horrible; moderate opioid withdrawal symptoms combined with SSRI/SNRI rebound, but tapering isn't too bad in my experience. Of course since you actually need a painkiller it'll be more difficult, but whenever I stop not being able to sleep is always the worst of it. Antidepressents help if you can get them.

Got those!
I have ADHD with depression.
This may sound odd, but if I take my tramadol too close to bed time, I end up waking up about 5 times a night. Strange huh?

yeah... When I first started it'd keep me up all night, now it puts me to sleep. Weird stuff

Another weird thing. He tried putting me on the extended release, and it didn’t do a damn thing. It was like I took a placebo. Had to go back on the regular.

I don't care for XR psych meds, although it would be convenient to not take pills 3 times a day.
I took 4 pills a day for years and almost never forgot to take them. How some women seem to be completely unable to take birth control once a day, every day is astonishing to me. Not that I'm saying only women do that.
This nurse told me she was gonna quit smoking and started taking Chantix. When I asked her a week later she said, "Yeah, I suck at taking pills everyday". She was probably lying, but I mean how fucking hard is it to keep a bottle next to your toothbrushe?

Fuck my doctor just put me on tramadol and I have legitimate pain. I could have got morphine but opted against it so here I am.

glad you pulled through, champ

Yea, I'm ok. Sitting on my balcony drinking a beer right now.
I legit thought I was going to die, though. Drugs are weird.

I absolutely feel you there, man. It isn't that high (second floor) but I've considered it many times. What I plan to do after I've played through the current videogames that interest me is to hang myself from it. I need to do some calculations but I want the fall to rip my head off. Maybe set a fire where I'll land.
