2 pills use to do the job now 3 isn't cutting it. So why would I go completely off Tramadol? I will reach a point where no amount will do the job and I want to have them be effective when it really counts. This means cutting back on activities that have cause me to take tramadol until they work effectively again and winter months are the best time for this.

I just had 3 Tramadol for breakfast
I now take 8 a day and still dont get the euphoria as I did with my first pill . I like this drug because of its 2 pronged attack in killing pain so your getting and anti depressant and a pain killer in the one tablet and the overall effect for me can be described as "I have PN but who cares"
I plan on cutting back soon by replacing Tramadol with Amitriptyline, increasing one whilst decreasing the other and then cycling back again over time
