Thank u for the fast response he had back surgery probably should of said that ... sorry I think its just gottin out of control and like u all have said its hard to talk about without offending him ... he is a great dad hard worker but I see a change he has never been a violent man he just gets short ... and when I do try to bring it up he walks away or just doesn't want to talk about it ..it makes me feel like the jerk ... I want my husband back out relationship has suffered greatly..:( ( it is prescribed by a doctor )

Hi sat5,
I am so sorry you are going through this because of these meds.two things I want to share with you is coming of this drug as sweet lemon commented is a slow taper or it can be dangerous to just cold turkey.I am tapering of meds and ultram is next,I tried to just stop taking it but after 15 years it was a very bad idea.I can't say that drug ever made me moody just a little happier,but if your husband is experiencing this violent type mood please be careful and stay out of his way.for me my mood got manic when I tried the cold turkey trip.if you know a dr. You both can see together,even an intervention in office then the dr.could help him safely get off the drug.I wish you all the luck with this.it is one thing for US to decide to stop but a completely dif. Thing when it's someone elses idea... take care and feel free to keep posting,c.
