We had temporarily disabled posting new replies on this thread because we had to review it in more detail. We generally do not allow contact information of any kind to be posted on the discussion threads so as to protect individuals' privacy, and also to prevent any conflicts of interest if somebody is promoting an outside service for personal gain.

I noticed that too- the "reply" button disappeared. There have been a lot of issues with our posts being edited- mainly when trying to share contact info for pharmacies.

I discovered Tramadol by accident after my dentist gave it to me for a bad toothache. I noticed immediately that my Fibromyalgia pain, which was largely ignored by my doctors, was much improved. That was in 2003. I made the freshman mistake of increasing my dosage and ended up having 3 seizures, one at work (thank goodness I worked at a hospital). I have tapered down to 4-5/day, but my doc only prescribes for 4/day so sometimes I order more online. I've experienced the same problems getting an order since December. Some advice for the withdrawal: for restless legs, drink an undiluted 8-oz glass of Tonic Water (any brand) right before you lay down. Tonic Water containes quinine, which is a natural paralytic in a very dilute solution. It is highly effective for people with restless legs syndrome. Keep it in the fridge and drink it cold and quickly, it's bitter. Meds like Requip and Mirapex can also help, but you need to get a script for those. Also, get as much sleep as possible. Sleep is restorative to the body, and not getting enough sleep while taking Trams can lower your seizure threshold. I've been down the withdrawal road a few times, and it's no joke, I advise those taking mega-doses of Trams to taper down to a reasonable level. I wish that some drug company would come up with a med that is as effective as Tramadol for Fibro pain, without the nasty side effects and addictive factor. Maybe someday.

I have enjoyed being able to chat with everyone here. It really helps me to know that I am not alone with chronic pain. Being supported and supporting others is an invaluable tool in most chronic conditions. I just find it disturbing the way that posts are edited and/or removed. It seems like sharing the numbers "violates" the user agreement and may count as advertising (I cant find another rule that the sharing of numbers violates).

This whole situation has got me so sad and frustrated. I am in constant pain due to a surgery to replace part of my clavicle that was done improperly. It constantly feels like part of my shoulder is jutting out of my neck and pushing against the skin and muscle, which is true for the most part, its just the metal plate they used to connect my bone popping out not the bone itself! I can show it to people at will. That is nothing compared to the cruelties of life others on this board have to endure, and for this I feel a small degree of thankfulness through the agony.

I did manage to get Steve's number, so thank you Maureen. Unfortunately, I foolishly didn't get up the nerve to call him yet because of what a sorry state I have been in. To anyone still looking, there is one site previously mentioned on here that still works, Health Pharmacy Online. I think they know this because the prices are beyond ridiculous to the point of just taking advantage of people. Its a hundred forty five for 120, they charge a 16 dollar "COD" fee even though thats the ONLY option they give, and its an extra 25 if you want overnight! Grand total with money order expenses and all, 185. In spite of all that, I will say this; they ship in a relatively quick fashion and don't jerk you around for weeks like everyone else. I have something coming in from them on monday, thank god. I will call Steve on monday for sure.

Despite taking Tramadol for the better part of a decade, the withdrawal symptoms this time around are by far the most intense I have ever had. The only thing getting me through this is a handful of methadone, which I absolutely hate taking but is much better than the alternative.
