I take Tramadol for my neck and shoulder injury which i am waiting surgery on.I may take it for a week or so and then not at all for days.I have had no problems with withdrawal symptoms,but i do get a little light headed and nauseous sometimes.It is a narcotic i believe,but shouldn't cause the same sort of problems as codeine or morphine ect.If you read the literarue that comes with the drug,it really is quite frightening,but then so is the literature associated with most nedication.i think its a case if you believe your symptoms are allied to Tramadol,then stop it and ask for an alternative.
