Back in August 2010, I did a cold turkey w/d from tramadol and
hydrocodone. I have had chronic back pain for years, and have been epiduraled, trigger point injected, facet joint injected, x-rayed, MRI'd, chiropractered, acupunctured, etc etc etc - none of which ever resulted in either a solid diagnosis nor pain relief. The meds were a last line resort. I have been on them for a few years.
