Hello jubal01. A little word of advice if I may. Tramadol belongs to the class of opiate medications. Drugs of this class usually cause withdrawal symptoms if its use is stopped suddenly. Please see your doctor so that he can advice you on how to taper down your dosage. Cheers.

its not advisible to abruptly stop using the medication you're adicted to. it can trigger a worse relapse. i believe the doctor that prescribed the medicine should be able to give you hint on how to handle the addiction.

what kind of dosage are you on??

I have been using Tramadol for the last 3 or 4 years to help with my herniated disc problem but i only take it as needed for pain and only at night! It is not as strong as Hydrocodone but it does create a slight buzz. one time i was foolish and took 2 at once cos my pain was bad, in short, it knocked me out.

Your doc might need to adjust or bring down your dose and gently wean you off of it. Not advisable to just up and quit it. He should either place you on non narcotic pain medication like prescription only Ibruprofen which is a bit stronger than regular Ibruprofen.

The major problems anybody with a serious addiction to pain meds face is liver damage.

how do you even function when you take two at night? you dosage must be small then. I'm on 50mg and there's no way i can take one not to talk of two during the day? I hope you don't operate machinery or do any kind of driving while on this medication.

Aren't you supposed to only take this when you are in pain?? it's not the kind of medication where they will say take one 3 x a day. This is strictly for pain as it comes!! My advise for real if you are serious about kicking the habit, is to go see the doctor who put you on it and have him taper your dose down gradually. Meanwhile, you can also do yourself a favor by only taking this med when you are in pain and not just willy nilly like that!. best of luck dear!

p.s Talk to your doctor about your insomnia too. he might put you on a non habit forming sleep medication that isn't addictive. until you kick your tramadol addiction completely!

@OP, so sorry about your case.
Personally, I don't take drugs. I am very healthy but, I had to take tramadol when I had an accident earlier this year for severe pain in my jawline, shoulder and hand as prescribed by my doctor.

I was getting close to addiction and how did I stop? I reduced from 4 per day( morning and night) to 2 per day( night only). Then I swiched to ibruprofen. I later switched to Panadol extra and paracetamol and I stopped it eventually.
