LeeJosepho,

Hi. I am just going to tell you to be careful with Tramadol. My partner was taking it for chronic back pain and became severely addicted to it. He was taking it as prescribed at first but started noticing that he was becoming dependent on it. If he didn't take it, he became extremely agitated and his behavior would even become unpredictable. The worst was when he decided to stop using it all together. The withdrawals were unreal. I nearly lost him.
I'm sure everyone's experience will not mirror what he went through, but I think it's important to know that it can be a dangerous drug. Just keep an open dialogue with your care provider and be cautious!
