Hi guys+gals, I'm having a terrible time adjusting to the lex. I'm still taking 10mg at night, and I wake up with what feels like discontinue symptoms, (very weak, out of breath after taking two steps, dizzy, nauseous, and let's not forget my favorite, Freaky Brain Zaps!!) I can't make it through the morning (let alone 5 minutes) that way. I have to take care of the kids, can't just curl up into a ball and curse my pdoc! So, I take 50 or 100mg of tramadol, and the symptoms go away.. for a while. I'm trying to read up on the med (tramadol) and there's not alot of useable info. Sure are alot of advertisements to sell the stuff, in many different languages too! And there's this one site, opiods.com (whoa mamma!) that guy is TRIPPIN'!!! Anyhow, what I did learn is that it is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Which is probably why it's helping the SE's. If anyone has experience,info, a good joke, whatever, please respond... Thanks, Jackie
