liberty,
I was wondering why you stopped the
Ultram cold turkey? Did you tell your doctor you wanted to go off of it, what were his instructions. You should never go off any drug cold turkey unless your doctor says it is ok or unless you are having some sort of medical emergency.
Why do you call yourself an addict? If you are taking the meds for pain, then yes you are physically addicted to them, but not an addict. If you continue to take them when you don't need them for pain, then you are psychologically addicted and then you would be an addict. Which was the case for you?
Curious,
Casey
