Hai
Well I am from the UK and stumbled across this forum by accident. You guys seem to be very knowlegable, so would appreciate if someone could help at all.
I have been taking recreational drugs since I was 18. I was a heavy weed smoker from the age of 19 until I was 33 (I stopped smoking 3 years ago now). I had a massive breakdown in 2001 due to a number of events/stress in my life/coke/green habit. I stopped the coke but carried on with the weed/pills.
Now as soon as I stopped smoking weed 3 years ago I starting drinking every night - only at night times and at first it was only a glass or two of wine, but because of a bad accident last year, since then I have been basically getting pissed every night, being very depressed - leading to another breakdown early this year.
After taking many different painkillers (my back is now knackered, spine and nerve damage and I have muscular spasms), none of them worked, I had a minor op which didnt work, so my choice is to have a really serious operation (where I may not walk again) or live with the pain. I dont want the operation...
I recently went back to the Doctors after my friend had given me some of his 50mg tramadol - which seemed to help. My doctor has now prescribed upto 4 x 50mg per day of Tramquel. But, the pharmacist seemed a little alarmed when I got them because I am on 60mg of Fluroxetine per day - he asked me if I had had any seizures in the past - which I havent so he let me have them. I am also only allowed 7 x 5mg of Diazepam a month, which is truly the only thing that helps a little but they wont give me anymore. I am basically in constant pain whatever I take.
I have read up on the Tramadol and it says not to take them if you have been a drug addict or alcoholic as they can cause seizures, but also that they are very addictive. I stopped drinking 3 weeks ago and have only had drinks twice since then (although I was drunk both times).
With my alcohol/drugs related past I am concerned I may have seizures with taking this combination of drugs.
I am absolutely clueless and some help would be appreciated.... I am in so much pain, I couldnt cope with having seizures too. For clarity, all drugs have been prescribed my doctor and when I stopped drinking a few weeks ago, I had a few nights of struggling to sleep, but no other side effects, I have never thought I was an alcoholic, I do agree I had a drink problem though.
In summary: I am on 4 x 50mg tramadol per day, 60mg of Fluroxetine and the occasional 5mg Diazepam and have a recent alchohol habit and long history of drug use. Would these tablets do me any harm?
Thanks in advance.
