The withdrawls aren't as bad, cause I been weening off them for the last 3 months. Still needed to take a few before going to bed. The leg problem & bladder pain weren't allowing me to sleep.. So I got to bed around 3 AM.. The makers of Ultram have everyone fooled. Its not opiate based, its a man made pain killer that mimics the effects of Opiates.. It was labled as having the pain killing abililty of Vics/percs etc.. Without the side effects & toxicity of narcotics.
