anxiety
"I have tried EVERYTHING for my anxiety (my symptoms stem from post traumatic stress disorder, but have also been labeled as generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety). Nothing has worked (aside from Benzodiazepines, which I avoid because of the sedative effect), other than Tramadol. I take 50mg a day. Recently I worried that I would run out so I tapered off of it- and my anxiety resurged with a vengeance. I never developed any tolerance for this medication- it has worked well for me for a year. The only negative has been when I mix it with alcohol. It didn't have much effect on the social anxiety but it worked great in general."
