I was taking about 400mg of Tramadol (tolerance) for chronic lower back pain and the pain associated with being alive on this Earth.
And believe me, Tramadol was God's gift. The Tramadol calm was a feeling like no other. It allowed me to function ... fixed my depression, anxiety, insomnia, even my annoying IBS !!!
My doc cut my prescription because I've been taking it too long without an eval (no money for a doc appt .. no insurance). So my Tramadol dream is over.
The first month of withdrawal was UNBEARABLE. I could not sit in a friggin movie theater and watch 10 minutes of a movie.
I now take Kava Kava and Tylenol extra strength (max allowed daily), but it is NOTHING compared to the Tramadol experience.
Any other OTC alternatives out there ? Anyone with similar experiences ?
