Coming off tramadol

Posted , 7 users are following.

I have been on tramadol for 3 years

I had a fall in my flat and smashed my elbow joint to bits

I was admitted to hospital and had a 6 hour operation to rebuild my elbow it's been fixed with metal. That's why I am on tramadol 

I have tried many times to come off them I get so ill. I am now on antidepressants sertraline as my doctor thinks they will help me 

They don't seem to be helping at all

I am 8 tramadol a day I have cut the dosage down to 6 a day but I am so ill it's driving me mad

I am having hot flushes headaches feeling really sick

Uncontrollable shakes

I feel as though I am loosing my mind 

But I have to come off these tablets as I am getting more and. More depressed 

I can't afford a rehab 

I don't know what else to do

I need help badly

    I figured it out. There's a little envelope icon right next to the screen name on here. I sent you a private message. Hope to hear from you soon.
