All narcotics. have the potential to be addictive if abused. People with chronic pain can also build up a tolerance for a narcotic med that they are on and need a stronger dose or a stronger pain med. People with fibromyalgia have a lot of pain and need pain meds. Do you feel that people with high blood pressure that have to take meds to keep their blood pressure controlled are addicts? Of course not. So it should be the same for people with chronic debilitating pain.
Tramadol helps pain management but when I used it, it caused a breathing issue. Since breath is life, I cannot take Tramadol.
Addiction is often dep dependent on the type of personality. I’ve taken tramadol since 1992. It still helps.
I was told it is not a narcotic I could not take it it caused me stomach pain. It is not as addicting as other medications.
After a long time of narcotics your body doesn’t help the pain anymore, sometimes it can cause it.
