I wonder if some of your unpleasant symptoms are from suddenly discontinuing the Tramadol?

This drug is known to cause habituation in patients. Even though it is not a controlled substance, it does need to be tapered off, in a similar way, antidepressants (SSRIs) do. We are seeing with all the new drugs from the last 20 yrs, that those affecting neurotransmitter receptors, need careful tapering when being discontinued whether they are controls or not.
