Now... here I can compare. I was out of work for 3 weeks.... due to oxycodone withdrawal. It was awful, and I didn't take it for very long. Compared to my year of ultram...... I just don't see how you can possibly compare the two..... especially having said you've never taken it.

Maybe you also need to do some research. Sure, I have no doubt some experience withdrawal. But compare it to others...... that's the real research.
