Hi Eddie,
You are wise to be concerned...good job on looking into this.
Is your prescribing doctor aware of your substance struggles? I would think that would make a difference in what Rx he would write for you...
I am not super knowledgable about these meds....but from what I understand, Tramodol stimulates the brain's opioid receptors, and as such could post an addicition risk. (non-narcotic, but an opiate!)
I would talk with your doctor and/or pharmacist about this possibility.
Another thing that you might want to do is check with the Chronic Pain Forum here. They will be pretty well versed in this subject I believe.
I wish you the best...and again, great job on being smart and careful.
I hope that your back feel better soon!
S.C.
