Dear Molytex,
It sounds like you have already done extensive research on chemical imbalance, drug side effects and interactions. The good
news is that among most painkillers,
Tramadol has one of the shortest withdrawals. Usually after about 2 weeks of stopping Tramadol use, your endorphins stabilizes and you start feeling better, so you are right there.
In response to your question, you are being very reasonable.
