Tramadol Works To Cure My Anxiety?

Updated

I have been suffering from really bad anxiety since my senior year of college and so far I haven't found anything that really helps me. A few months ago I fell at work and smashed a vertebrae in my lower back and my doc prescribed me tramadol. I swear it's helping my anxiety! I don't have insurance so I haven't been able to get it every month, but i found this online pharmacy called Aligne Health Resources that doesn't charge me anything and I can get one of their doctors to just fill my prescription with no co-pay so I've been able to get the tramadol. Has anyone else felt relief from anxiety as a side-benefit of tramadol? Thoughts and long term effects?

No but weaning off this crap is causing a lot of anxiety. Long term for me is six years consistently. The withdrawals are living hell. I developed severe dryness after starting the Tramadol; eyes, sinus, mouth. Also developed sinus "infections" for the first time in my life within six months of starting the drug. My advice; quit now.

Tramadol is derived from an opiate, so it helping your anxiety does make sense in a way, because it is in essence a downer, which is exactly what most anxiety medications, such as Xanax are.

Learn more Tramadol details here.

It's basically calming you and bringing you down.

However, yes there can be risks associated with using it for a long period of time, such as dependence, addiction and liver damage.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I am on Tramadol for knee and back pain. It doesn't seem to help my knee. But I am having horrendous nightmares, and Hallucinations. I think I will ask my Doctor for something else. We live in Spain.

All opioids are just fast acting anti depressants. they will correct the brain chemical deficiencies halting depression anxiety pain. the problem is, and this is huge so heads up, once you download these chemicals the brain will create more houses to accommodate the increase in free endorphins. so if you plan to stop or not increase the amount of opiate you will have created a much much much greater deficiency or as you describe it anxiety. this new anxiety is the reason many people commit suicide. my advice is to cure the original deficiency through proper survival. answer the problem like a cave man. or at the very least use this opioid as seldom as possible. need help? please feel free to contact me {edited for privacy}....i have been there..on purpose ..to measure these reactions to help people. please proceed cautiously. and understand that everything we are, ALL OF IT, is merely a chemical reaction in the brain. or lack thereof. if you go to bed without grass stains on your pants you need to seriously re examine your life. So true, you feel that deep down dont you?
