How Can I Use Medicine to Treat My Addiction to Tramadol?
Question by wish upon a star: how can i use medicine to treat my addiction to tramadol?
For those of you that think tramadol is not addictive, thats BS! It is addictive and i am experienceing it first hand. I have been trying to wean myself off of it for the last 6 months with no improvement because when i lower my dose i have severe mood swings and become very angry and my energy levels are depleted, and i cant be a good mother to my 1 year old. When i PMS the bad symptoms get even worse so i increase my dose and im fine, but that puts me back right where i started. So now im looking into another way, medication. Will a doctor give me medication for this, what kind, and how can i take it without becoming addicted to it? Im determined to live a drug free life and the day im free of this addiction will be one of the best days of my life.
