Tramadol

Posted by blue717 @blue717, 16 hours ago

I'm not a fan of opioids, but pain is pain. I'm still doing a lot of physical work around the house because my husband won't do anything. I take temazepam for sleep and Setraline for something ( I've been on that for more than half my life. I'm 74 now. I have sciatica, osteo, arthritis, nerve damage, and tight muscles. I live a stressful life since my husband has dementia and was diagnosed with Narcissistic personality disorder. It's just another day in paradise. Anyone else using this combination of drugs?

I say take it if you can get it, especially at your age. Why suffer if you don't need to. For me I've never felt good enough from any med that I could get addicted to it, YET!!!

I found Tramadol to be extremely addicting, extremely quickly. Needed more and more almost immediately. It was all prescribed legally, but I knew I had to quit.
I also take Temazepam (for 20 years now) and have never raised my dose.
Never became addicted to or abused any other drug.
FYI

I could quit it tomorrow with no ill effects.
