My doctor gave me a scrip for 180 tramadol, is it more dangerous than other painkillers? | |
I have had a bad back for years and told my doc that I don't want anything real strong because I still have to function at work. But after reading a little about possible side effects it seems to be worse than taking an opioid. Has anyone taken this stuff and is it worth it?
Answers:
1I was prescribed tramadol (zydol) about 6 years ago, I was about 16 at the time, for lower back pain following surgery on a herniated disc. I started to take less as the pain decreased but it had horrible side effects. I was so addicted to them I got the shakes and couldn't sleep at all. Then last year I was prescribed the same again under a different generic name; not realising what they were I had a repeat of what had happened. They are a great pain killer but I'd seriously advise staying away from them,
I take tylex now, which are a mixture of 500mg paracetamol 30mg codeine in each capsule. I find they work great and yes even though the codeine is slightly addictive, its not a fraction as bad as the tramadol.
