Just a word about tramadol. I was addicted to the stuff for 18+years. Numerous rehabs. Tapered more times than I can count. Oh, and I preferred this drug to all other opiates because it gave me energy and lasted a long time. And yes, I got high off the stuff. Not surprised it negates withdrawals from Tianeptine. And the withdrawals from tramadol were horrendous for me.
Just felt I needed to share my experience with this drug.
