Anxiety
"I&#039;m 32 yrs old and have been taking 50 mg of Tramadol HCL for pain associated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome on and off for about a year now. Although it does lessen the pain, I&#039;ve noticed that my brain is much more even keel after I&#039;ve taken it. I have tried other anti-depressants and Xanax, but I don&#039;t like them because they make me feel like a zombie. This doesn&#039;t do that. It just clears away the anxiety fuzz, stops the attacks, and makes it so that I can actually function like a somewhat normal human again. I thought it was just me, but after seeing all of this, I know it&#039;s not. I&#039;m going to have to talk to my doctor about it. I can&#039;t remember the last time I felt this normal. And there are NO withdrawal effects for a missed day."
