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!
