Sounds like you know more about tramadol than me. I've never taken any drugs whatsoever unless the pain's unbearable, or I'll die if I don't. Always thought I'd rather know if something hurts, so I can stop doing whatever made it hurt. :)

Wow. The alarms in my head were all going off when I collected that script. The more I've read, the more I realise they weren't going off without good reason. Scary stuff...
