"i have been on prozac , gabapentin and prozac for many years. i hve been on the same dose of tramadol for the last 6 years i take the  50 mg tablets . i take 2 pills 4 times a day. the thing about any medicine is how well  it works with our body chemistry. it lasts up to six hours. i&#039;m not a zombie, i can take great care of my toddlers and as we all know toddlers drive u up the wall. i can still feel some of the pain but it&#039;s not bad enough to keep me unhappy and unproductive.oh and if u become addicted to something , next time blame yourself for taking it wrong  instead of blaming the meds!!! lol"
