"i&#039;ve tried over 13 medications for anxiety and none have worked not even the popular benzodiazepines. i tried 100mg of tramadol and i felt the weight lifted from me. i felt like i could breath easier and relaxed.  it&#039;s the only thing that has worked. i&#039;m looking for a doctor now who has experience with long term use or perhaps a doctor that can recommend a medication knowing that tramadol works for me."
