Advice wanted. I take
tramadol ( 100 mg twice a day ) along with hormones, 50 mg
toprol xl and
ambien to sleep. Something or all of these have made me a wreck. I cry all the time although I am not in what I call bad pain. I had a knee replacement last year but its my back and other joints that feel all antsy and achey. I , like many of you was told tramadol was nothing to be afraid of and non-addictive. All I know is I am so depressed and lethargic, I am nothing like I was before surgery last year. I am always burning up and freezing everyone out of the house. (not just hot flashes... all over hot all the time)
I am just so nervous all the time. What can I do? My doctor just looks at me because I can't even describe what's going on. I am 54 years old and used to be cheerful and sweet. I don't know who I am now. Is there anyone else out there who can think of natural things to replace these drugs?
