tramadol
 
how would someone except the fact that they need help? its not that im in complete denial i know that i have a problem, but i feel like i can get over it myself. 4yrs ago i was introduced to methodones whaffer form, i was on them for maybe 4 months, before i even knew what withdraw was i decided to stop wasting money on them and just quit taking them, well withdraw set in a few days later my dealer had to explain what was going on, i bought another whaffer i think it was 100mg 25mg per section, i cut it up into about 8 pieces and took 1 everytime i needed one. now 3 and a half yrs clean i go to the docs and he perscibes me tramadol 50mgs i took all 22 in 3 days and saved 8 so i dont go thru withdraw, the only benifit was i got some work done, i have no intention of getting more or getting a refill, i do this once or twice a yr. i dunno maybe i just needed to get this off my chest, sorry if my grammer is horrible.
and hello by the way im new.

I take tram and the w/d is hell. But I am not sure if you only took them for 3 days.
But that is way too many to eat in a short period of time. I ams urprised you didnt get sick.
W/D for me is horrible. Zero energy, super bad depression, everything hurts 100 times worse, real bad constant brain zaps. It takes me almost a week to feel normal again.
I suggest talking to a dr. As for if you need help. I cant make that call.
Good luck.
