Re: Hello.....am still here

Polar bear don't mean to be scarey but tramadol is also oxotoxic , it causes tinnitus and deafness, just like codeine,
but as you say the good out weighs the bad and at the moment your having the best control.
I hope it stays good for you.

Re: Hello.....am still here

Have just checked up on what its called here OxyNorm and tinnitus and deafness are a possible side effect so its a nono for me .
