Trying to survive these withdrawals

Posted , 10 users are following.

I have no one in my life to talk to about this. It's been over 3 years that I been taking tramadol after 3 knee surgeries and it's ruining my life and don't know what else to do. Can't deal with this pain anymore. Anyone know anything that helps with withdrawals to be able to get outta bed and go to work?

    Hi Kori, I am sure you are a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for! Tramadol really is the devil drug and you are not alone.

    I had terrible rebound anxiety after quitting a relatively small dose of tramadol which I had taken for a bad back. The constant nausea was diabolical, I am still paying the price 1 year later as I had to start an antidepressant to get my head together - it was just terrible.

    Meditation and mindfulness and exercise all help greatly along with as healthy diet as you can manage and plenty of exercise. Stay positive and just take one day at a time
