I’ve had a prescription for tramadol for years now.
Began using it while working at Mercedes Benz manufacturing plant. I broke my hand and the only pain killer allowed while working in the plant was Tramadol. 
I currently have not had any tramadol in 16 days. 
I’m fine. I don’t feel the need to go get any.
I have 40 sitting on the shelf. I’ve carried 1 in my pocket for 2 weeks now and haven’t felt urge to take it.
For the last 2 years it’s been used for back disc issues.
But I’d like to get back to normal.
I didn’t realize the things I felt when I decided to do a periodic stop, were withdrawals.
My main issue now is not wanting to interact with people.
I guess depression in a way.
I want to feel happy again like I did when I was taking Tramadol.
