The development of dependence
How does dependence on Tramadol develop? Therapeutic doses of Tramadol are generally not addictive. However, even with a slight excess of it, even after the first use of the drug, both physical and psychological dependence develops.
During three months of regular use, Tramadol is the only or the main drug for a person. If the patient wants to be treated and gets rid of physical dependence, the psychological craving for the drug will still remain. It persists to 10-15 years, so very often failures occur.
Even with the help of detoxification in the hospital it is impossible to completely purify the body of Tramadol. The products of its decay are deduced within 20-25 years.
The process of inpatient treatment itself occurs quite quickly and takes from a week to a month. However, in practice, 75% of people who at least once tried Tramadol, go back to taking the drug for 4-5 years. This in most cases ends with death.
After a dramatic withdrawal of Tramadol, the drug addict experiences the most severe of all possible abstinence symptoms. The break takes 20-25 days.
Hallucinations in the period of the abstinence syndrome do not vanish, but, on the contrary, become more frequent and realistic, the gloominess of their plots increases.
In parallel, the patient manifests other mental disorders:
- severe depression with suicidal tendencies;
- aggressiveness;
- hysteria;
- irritability.
