Truly, and I do not wish to take thread off course, but a decade ago, actually it was 2012, I was taking oxycodone for my neck, and they forced me onto tramadol, and by "they" I mean several doctors. They insisted that tramadol was NOT an opioid, the safe choice and they literally gave me no choice in the matter! My original dose back then as prescribed, was 8 x 50 daily, 400mg!
Today, long after they completely addicted my ass to the tramadol, and whittled it down to 300 mg a day, they are now firmly intentioned to cut me off altogether, even though I have stuck with the 300 mg a day well enough for ten years, and never asked for anymore than that daily 300 mg, and was doing great. Now, today, its the same fucking MD's treating me like a junkie, and that I'm to blame for it all, you cannot make this shit up, 25 years ago people would have laughed in your face, nobody would believe you about those lying ass doctors, not a chance!
