Tramadol Addiction Please Help
So a friend of mines has been addicted to tramadol for many years stemming from a car wreck she was in, and has struggled over the years to leave it alone. Was told that she needed to wean herself because tramadol is a drug used to wean off of stronger opiates there was no protocol for it.
She recently learned of Suboxone but when calling a few places they told her that it is a stronger opiate and that they wouldn't use a stronger opiate to wean one off of a lesser opiate.
She then went on Chatgpt which told her to find a place that offers Buprenorphine treatment not knowing its the same as Suboxone, she found the place almost immediately didn't need tramadol anymore and felt the need to not even have the Buprenorphine anymore but the docs said Bup can trick you into thinking you're all well even if you're not and to keep taking it. So she continued despite her first mind and felt herself developing a dependency to it as well.
The question is has anyone discovered a way to get off of Tramado without needing Buprenorphine?
