It kinda seemed that life itself was glowy all the time, and I decided that I really liked them. And then when I ran out...I started to feel panicky, angry, I was having horrible body aches, and my jaw in particular was hurting really bad. So I did some research and low and behold I found a shit load of info about how bad tramadol effects people. A lady from a rehab clinic said that she had more people trying to get off tramadol, than cocaine...it's 'that' addicting. I was seriously having thoughts of offing myself..and I'm not that kind of person.
To have a doctor mislead you like that is a major problem, especially when the information is so commonly known. You're lucky that you weren't on the meds any longer or that you don't form addictions easily, things could have turned out a lot worse. You may want to consider making a complaint against him.
