Tramadol Withdrawal Side Effects (Page 2) (Top voted first)

My husband takes Tramadol for pain. It has caused him to be depressed. He is now addicted to the drug can't function without it, and he is always angry or agitated at everything around him. He can't keep food down and can't sleep. He has tried to stop taking it but is now a down hill depressed state.

Bulls*** to the person that said he'd have to be abusing them. You do not have to abuse them to get angry and addicted. Tramadol has givin me two grand mal seizures. I never abused. And yes it can make a person feel like there right all the time and be mean. Just to be clear he doesn't have to abuse the pill to have normal reactions. Best thing to do is go to a pain management specialist.

I was so relieved to read your story and find this site, it brought tears to my eyes. Bless everyone of you who shared your experience. I feel stronger knowing that its NOT JUST ME. I take two a day, but when i run out i sneeze horribly (wth, right?), i'm hot and cold, and have zero energy. Doc prescribed them for light arthritis about 5 years ago. Did nothing for pain, but i felt so happy and lighthearted with them, so much so that i didn't even care about the pain. It's scary to realize that I have a problem and I can't tell anyone. I am working up the courage to tell my therapist, which might explain the unexplained seizures that come twice a year. Again, thank u Zio10 and good luck :)

Oh my gosh that is exactly like my story with my tramadol. I've been on them for 17 years. I know exactly what you are talking about. The withdrawls are making me feel i wish i were dead instead of feeling this way. I also take more and run out at the end of the month. I feel like im dying when i'm out. I didnt know anyone else got this way too. A dr in vegas laughed at me and said you cant get addicted to ultram ! BUT I AM AND ARENT STRONG ENOUGH TO TAPER MYSELF OFF PLUS I NEED THEM FOR MY DISC DISEASE ! Can anyone help me ??

Get him to take Kratom and he will be able to reduce his tramadol and withdrawal. You can put it in a drink (non-alcohol) or take it teaspoonful. The Red Maend Da is the best for opioids withdrawal. He'll be able to slowly wean off tramadol and be feeling good with kratom at the same time. It's healthy and won't hurt him and will give him a good feeling.

Re: happyapple4 (# 30)

I tried tramadol once. I was taking oxycodone already for back pain, I got hit by a car and was in hospital and rehab for 2 weeks, I asked my pain doctor if I could take more oxycodone for extra pain caused by car hitting me, I tried one tramadol xr and it made me really sick.

Why would you even bother responding to this?? Clearly you have no clue what tramadol is, nor do you have any knowledge of bipolar disorder. Plus, you spell "your" "yer" and are barely coherent. When are uneducated people with no clue what they're talking about going to stop annoying people with very real health concerns?? Go back to 6th grade English and stay there.

Well unfortunately our bodies can become dependent upon anything that we take regularly for a long period of time, anything from your morning orange juice to a cup of milk with dinner. There is a big difference between addiction and dependence though. To be addicted he would have to be abusing the drug, taking it more than prescribed and going to extreme measures to get more.

Now the problem with dependence is that while the withdrawals are not as severe as addiction, you do suffer some and that is apparently what he is going through.

This is a non-narcotic med, but his body is still used to having it and if he stops taking it abruptly, then he will suffer problems.

Either you or your husband need to speak to his doctor about this problem, they can support or treat the other conditions he is suffering from both while using it and help him to taper off of it if he needs to stop taking it altogether.
