Tramadol has really changed how it used to work for me

I've been on Tramadol now for 4 years with many failed attempts to come off. I'm now only on 100mg a day. The max I've ever been on a day is 200mg.

Anyway, I'm feeling like I really do just want to come off now as the positive effects that I used to have before like huge amounts of energy and being outgoing and chatty have gone away.

Instead now when I take it I just feel extremely tired and fatigued with no energy to do much at all. I really miss how it used to be as it used to help me so much both pain wise and mentally.

If you use Imodium (loperamide) for diarrhea when coming off opiates it also can help a lot with other physical symptoms. OK so it was only a few months not 4 years, but it did the business for me. Search online for loperamide for best deals. Be careful though, you can get addicted to it too.
