Tom B
Excellent point Tom! If my IP paid for the ADR in the US, I most definitely would have done here; God knows what the outcome might have been :eek2::eek2::eek2:

How long
Hi Lasse,
It has been one year when I finally can say I do feel better. If you are like the 95% of the rest of us, you will get better and worse many times in the following 12-18 months. I,...

I stayed on tramadol for almost a year. It helps even after a prolonged usage. It is also very easy to get off of.

Percocet - oxicodone
My advice to you is to get off this drug ASAP. Getting off it is like going through agonizing death for 2 weeks. Tramadol may be similar to opiates, but it is two schedules lower than Oxi, and...

No
I don't think so either, looks like most of your levels have plenty of height, and only 4-5 looks troublesome. I think mine looked worse, 5-1 was bone on bone, 4-5 was worse, 2-3 also.

Germaany vs Spain
