How to get through Tramadol Addiction

The way things are in this fast paced world today many people may have a Tramadol Addiction without even realizing it. This medication is used to treat moderate to severe pain. This medication should be only taken exactly as directed your prescribing physician. If this drug is taken as prescribed there is little to worry about becoming addicted to it. With this being said one thing you will want to know is that it can very easily becomes habit forming.

Tramadol addiction often occurs when the person starts taking more of it than was prescribed. I know for a fact that people sometimes double their dose when they are hurting badly. If this is done enough times a tolerance to tramadol will developed. What this means is that it will take more and more of the drug to get the desired effect.

This drug comes in various forms such as liquid, tablets, capsules, suppositories, extended release tablets, and capsules. People that have the addiction can't function without the drug. I see it all the time at work. Taking too much of this drug can be very fatal.

Once a person realizes they have a tramadol addicton they don't want to get help because of the withdrawals that they have to go threw. The withdrawals will include, sweating, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and irritability. When a person finally makes the decision to get help and decides to go into a detox center that's the first step to recovery.

There is a place out west that treats tramadol addiction with a detox for this drug and the patient is monitored around the clock. The patient is put under a mild anesthesia while the medication cleans the drug from their receptors. Once the patient wakes up they are no longer dependent on the drug and are also unaware of the tramadol withdrawals that occurred during this procedure. I am a true believer if you know someone that is going threw this please look to get them help before it is too late. There are many places to get help. All you have to do is open the telephone book.

Another option is to try to wean yourself off of the drug this can be done rather easily. The idea behind this is to cut your normal dose down a little at a time; for instance, if you are taking 10 pills per day try 9 the next day 8 the next and so on until you  are off of the drug completely.


Good luck
