I really don't think that Ultram will help. The reason for this is because it contains the active ingredient Tramadol.

While Tramadol is listed as just a centrally active analgesic, this has changed several times and been under severe debate.

When it was being investigate, the developers were trying to create a medication that would work like a narcotic, but not have the side effects and the addictive nature, however, what they achieved was actually the opposite.

It is nowhere near as effective as narcotic, yet can still cause the same side effects, such as nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and constipation, plus it still has the propensity to cause abuse and addiction.

Therefore, by using it, you may just end up trading one dependency for another.

In most cases, the simplest thing to do, if you have only been using a medication as prescribed, is to simply slowly taper it, so you are eventually using it less and less, both in frequency and dosage.

Doing it that way helps your body gradually adjust to no longer having the medication and avoids the worst of the withdrawal symptoms.

Does anyone else have any advice to add?
