Pain
"Hi. I was perscribed Tramadol following a serious motorcycle accident (max dose 400mg daily). FOR ME, this was/is the ONLY effective pain killer. Without it I would have struggled with my recovery. However, please, please, please do not underestimate the difficulties associated with coming off the drug. Withdrawal symptoms are horrible. Whilst I am still recovering from the accident (18 months ago) I don&#039;t need pain relief anymore. Unfortunately, I have found that my most difficult challenge to date is to come off the tramadol. Over the last 6 months I have gradually reduced the dose - now down to 100mg daily. I reckon it&#039;s going to take me another 6 months to come of it. "
