pain
"I took tramadol for three years.  I got into a car accident and had some neck pain.  Went to the doctor and he prescribed me tramadol.  It instantly made my neck feel better.  It also made me very happy and in a better mood.  I had alot more energy and just felt better all together.  I ended up getting a job at Walgreens.  This was the first job I kept for more than a month!  I stayed there for two years.  I decided to take myself off of tramadol because I didn't want to have to depend on it anymore to make me feel better.  I felt miserable and dragging at work.  I quit my job a month or so after. It's been a year and still not working.  I think I may need to get back on it."
