Hi Jen
I've never taken tramadol or opiates, but I spend a lot of time in our Substance Abuse forum - the thing about waiting a few months is...it's not going to get better.
You can nip this in the bud now...or you can watch it grow.
I think you need to get professional advice about this now - insurance or not.
Visit our substance abuse forum too - you'll find a lot of folks down there as well who know what you're going through.
