I must say this though - people, do not flush your tramadol or bin it or bury it. Take it to your pharmacy. It is a terrible thing to add medicines to the sewage system, or the ground. You may have been using flush poetically, but I thought I would say on here that the NHS asks us to return all unused meds for safe disposal.

It's strange how some people can be much more resistant to addiction than others. I was on 6 milligrams of alprazolam (Xanax) a day for two years. That's six 1mg doses every day. And sometimes taking other benzodiazapines at night, for sleep. (Not to mention that I had a prescription for 180 10mg hydrocodone every month [about 6 @ day]. But I wasn't taking all of those.) Then my doctor went to jail for overprescribing pain meds, and I just stopped. Yes, I missed it, but I did not have a hard time. I didn't go looking for another doctor. That was over 10 years ago.

I am quite sad that the doctors who put us on tramadol have no ability to take us off. My doc said he is not allowed to supervise or prescribe to help me off tramadol - but he put me on it all those years ago. (He did send me to the rehab folk, but they did not help as I was not addicted, just dependent, and I did not need/want to go into rehab for three months.) So patients are having to figure out themselves how to stop. I am sure there are many who simply stay on past needing tramadol because there is no help to stop - and tramadol for many is as hard or harder to stop than heroin. Seriously, they offer help to stop smoking......
