I am currently taking tramadol and i was told that the effects of tramadol are increased if you drink grapefruit juice. Has anyone heard that. And by the way,once and for all is tramadol an opiate or not.

For those of you that think tramadol is not addictive, thats BS! It is addictive and i am experienceing it first hand. I have been trying to wean myself off of it for the last 6 months with no improvement because when i lower my dose i have severe mood swings and become very angry and my energy levels are depleted, and i cant be a good mother to my 1 year old. When i PMS the bad symptoms get even worse so i increase my dose and im fine, but that puts me back right where i started. So now im looking into another way, medication. Will a doctor give me medication for this, what kind, and how can i take it without becoming addicted to it? Im determined to live a drug free life and the day im free of this addiction will be one of the best days of my life.

I’ve had this terrible back-pain for the past year…but being 19yrs old at the moment, my mother doesn’t believe i should talk to a doctor, and that i just need to start working out again. i can see her point, however, the pain, at its worst, will inhibit me from doing everyday-things like walking around or even sitting up comfortably in a chair. it comes and goes, and is mostly obvious when i do alot of physical activity (this case causes the pain for the next few days) or even when i’m sitting in my desk in one of my classes for over twenty minutes… is there a way i can get a doctor to prescribe me tramadol? i say tramadol because it’s a non-narcotic/non-opiate but i hear it works better than aspirin and ibuprofen…which isn’t cutting it for me right now. AND, if yes, is there a way to get it prescribed without my mom or our insurance know? (Mother’s income has nearly ceased, i don’t want any monetary stress on her right now…) please help out….it hurts… =-/
its weird….at times it doesn’t even hurt at all. and i can walk and stand up quickly just like normal. but after moving around for awhile or sitting in a desk or something for more then fifteen—twenty minutes is when the pain hits….and its definately in the lower back region…my girlfriend tried giving me a massage to see how that works and it was a tad bit tender to the touch…but not at all unbearable. and it was the bottom part of the approximately third vertabrae from the tail bone, or close to that one. it feels as if it’s a little raised up, like almost as if its out of place from the other ones…… =-/ dunno if this helps…
the best way i can explain where the pain is…..is saying its a vertabrae where a “tramp-stamp” tattoo would be placed……
