Q: Ultram Addiction
asked by: momoffour on March 22nd, 2006

10 years ago I took a new drug called ultram. I thought it was a wonder drug. Because it has sri component, it not only helped with pain, but with my depression. I have been off and on the drug for several years now. In the past two years, I have been taking between 6-10 a day. I want to discontinue, but the withdrawal is terrible. I don't know how to do it and live through it. A rehab center is not an option for me for various reasons...
Can anyone offer any advice? Every time I begin to taper off, my heart does terrible things. I'm afraid maybe I would have a heart attack, or something. I am generally in excellent health. I'm very strong physically in every other way...Except when I try to get off this stupid drug. Then, I feel so extremely tired and anxious and horrible. I wish I could find a way to make it easier!
