Getting there...

[santiken]

Day 7 Sunday Morning: I def. feel so much better, but I do still have lingering effects. The most pronounced is the dizziness and the strange sleep patterns. However, I have so much more enery now and can really feel my body and mind coming back into the clear. It's strange, I used to think that the Tramadol gave me energy and made me feel good. It's amazing how much better I feel now that most of the toxins have made their way out of my system and my brain is allowed to balance it's norepinephrine and serotonin. Be careful with this drug, it definetly has SSRI properties and withdrawals. I remember being on Lortab for about 6 months years ago and those withdrawals are a totally different experience, still bad, but different. I think I'll stick with the Ibuprofen from here on out for my type of pain.
