Hi Everyone who responded,

I want to make something clear.

Even though you may have become "used" to the medication and don't have the side effects that would alter your driving, if you were to be stopped or in an accident, you will still test positive for opioids.

It doesn't take obvious signs of being drunk for police to test you for an altering drug in your system... Even though you don't "think" the tramadol has altered your driving, the police can charge you anyway and don't need a reason to test you...

This is pretty much in response to amb97. No matter what your feelings are whether you are used the medication, you will still be under the influence.

I would tread very lightly around this and be aware that if you're on these drugs and driving, you will still be charged even though we have to have these drugs to survive. We are all in pain. But, unfortunately, the police don't care...
