I now coming up to 6 weeks dropping of the Tramadol :) Had a blip with a chest infection so went on the 50mg morning and 50mg one night and 100mg the next a bit longer than I thought.

Well ok now only on 50mg twice a day.

Beginning to feel loads better without it so Tuseday coming of the morning one altogether :) I went to see the doctor on Friday and he is pleased with me.

What I am enjoying is not sitting clock watching for my next pill.

I understand if you are in real pain you do need this but think it's not for me. :) :)

So pleased you're feeling better Rose, you're doing really well. It's helpful when you have a supportive doctor too isn't it? x

Yes, a good GP is worth their weight in gold. Some are too focussed on seeing you in & out the door as quickly as possible so to get one who doesn't is good.
