I feel the same way..

I wake up every morning feeling very tired/fatigued and exhausted.

Sad to say as soon i take some capsules of tramadol, i feel automatically energized...am worried that I am getting addicted or dependent on tramadol

My worry is: does overuse of tramadol increase creatinine level and then lower eGFR?
KINDLY HELP

Welcome @swajuihian, I think worrying about long term use of any medication is pretty normal. I've had similar questions on a few medications I take also. Here's some information I found on that discusses the topic.

"When tramadol is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain." --- Tramadol (Oral Route) Side Effects - Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/tramadol-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20068050

Have you discussed your concern with your doctor?

My husband finds that taking a Tramadol gives him energy as it tones down the pain however, he rarely reaches for it. His neurologist said that like other opiates that when you use it on a regular basis your body adjusts to it and it's not as effective. Maybe you could discuss with your neurologist.
