my experience with tramadol 100 mg, i went to the doctor for my annual physical, and i complaint about my knees and i ask if i can get something for the pain, and his answer was, "loose some weight" it'll help a lot, not that i haven't tried to loose some weight, but i'm big bone and i like to eat,and my excuse is that i've seen a lot more overweight over obese people than me, so i started taking tylenol but that doesn't work, i remember a drug that my dentist prescribed when he pulled my wisdom teeth,(norco) and one of my trips to tijuana i ask for that and the pharmacist offer something much better than that, that's how i meet tramadol 100 mg, i love them, took the pain out of my knees and get lightly high and in a much better mood, so i found myself making every little excuse to take my pill, i've been doing this for a few months now........being the smart guy that i am i told myself if one is good 2 must be much much better. this is what i do, i took 2 100 mg pills after breakfast and that's it for the day, but i know now this wasn't very smart, i'm concern about my liver and other side effects, so i want to stop, and the first day i didn't take it, my body was craving it, i had symptoms of severe cold, chills and can't stop thinking about that pink pill, so i gave in, i and i told to my self, well if i am going to get a bad habit this is the ideal one, is cheap and i can get it anywhere, but my body developed a tolerance to those 2 pills that i take every day after breakfast and i want more.
So if anybody reading this, hope you're a lot smarter than me and pay attention of what the doctor say and not take or prescribe yourself what you think it'll help.
There is a reason why they call them "control substances", that is why we have this problem with a lot people, including myself with these kind of medication.
I'm having withdrawals now, and while i write this, tossing on the toilet my left over pills and willing to beat this craving.
