@buyearly Yes, I agree with you. I have stopped many antidepressants and went by what my doctor told me to do it. I never had any side effects. Now, since my 9 hour back fusion surgery my surgeon wants me to get off of Oxycodone and Tramadol. I have started the Oxycodone first and I feel I'm having side effect from going off Oxycodone. Once I get off of Oxycodone I have to get off the Tramadol. He expects to get off Oxycodone in 1 week. It will be the same for Tramadol, which I feel is too fast, but I know I can do it. I may send a message to my primary care and see what he thinks.
