Thank you so much for this Mdaisy

I think my mouth opened wide reading about a possible classification of 'Class C drug' for Tramadol .... What next? I had already signed the petition but I think more is needed?

Maybe individuals should start asking questions of our health professionals, and their advisers, if they make decisions that affect our lives in such a blatant way? After all, my body is mine, I am of sound mine (hopefully), and I do need certain medications for my illnesses. (hope that doesn't sound angry, not meant to be?).

Take care

I wholeheartedly agree Ken...it's my body and I choose what goes in it!! Why do these so called 'health professionals' think they know me better than I know myself? Damn cheek I think! XX

Have already signed this petition. Am very aware of the life limiting affect this would have on thousands of chronic pain sufferers. The misuse of drugs will not be reduced by this action, it will probably put the price up and make it more attractive due to shortage, it will also make it known to people previously unaware of its existence by classifying it in this manner.

Yes Shazzzy, just want to agree with you. It will more than likely lead to people buying off the internet and getting dodgy merchandise which will be much more dangerous, and they will be charged a fortune for it.

Take care

Would also like to add thst i never found this med to be euphoric, does anyone get this effect ? I have however found it to a most reliable pain killer in conjunction with ibuprofen.
