> Hi guys+gals, I'm having a terrible time adjusting to the lex. I'm still taking 10mg at night, and I wake up with what feels like discontinue symptoms, (very weak, out of breath after taking two steps, dizzy, nauseous, and let's not forget my favorite, Freaky Brain Zaps!!) I can't make it through the morning (let alone 5 minutes) that way. I have to take care of the kids, can't just curl up into a ball and curse my pdoc! So, I take 50 or 100mg of tramadol, and the symptoms go away.. for a while. I'm trying to read up on the med (tramadol) and there's not alot of useable info. Sure are alot of advertisements to sell the stuff, in many different languages too! And there's this one site, opiods.com (whoa mamma!) that guy is TRIPPIN'!!! Anyhow, what I did learn is that it is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Which is probably why it's helping the SE's. If anyone has experience,info, a good joke, whatever, please respond... Thanks, Jackie
Hi Jackie, so sorry your still having a rough time. Below are 3 links with some info. If you cant find something useful let me know and I will look some more. Tramadol is also called ultram for more searches. Cant tell any jokes here because the ones I know would get me in trouble. But I will share one of my darkest days. Its funny now but not then. About 4 months ago I was asleep and woke up sweating and not feeling well. I took my temperature and it was in the 96. something range. I freaked because it was so low. I jumped up and got on the internet and could find nothing to ease my mind. I did not know that when you sleep your temperature can go this low. So I woke everyone up in the house and started taking their temperature. Their temperatures were lower than mine. I started yelling were all dying. They told me I was crazy and to go back to sleep. I refused and had someone drive me to a store that was open 24 hours and bought a half dozen thermometers. Come to find out my thermometer was fine. But for a couple of weeks I took my temperature every 15 minutes with a different thermometer each time. I also had this thing about scales. Yes I have 6 of them, not mentioning the few I threw away because they did not give the weight I was looking for. My problem was I was losing weight real fast over a months time. Over 20lbs to be exact. So suffering from panic attacks I thought I was dying. I have since gained all the weight back. Hang in there!!!! Report to your doc!!! GOOD LUCK!!! GOD BLESS!!!
