That is because you are high on drugs , tramadol is an opioid and dependence is common, and causes withdrawal.
Sorry to disappoint but I'm not dependent on it. I only take it when my pain is really, really bad and, actually, my docs say I don't take it enough. I AM taking it now, though, cuz my joints are killing me after spending two hours in an MRI. And I AM enjoying the floaty feeling.

I didn't say that you were dependent, I said is common. But I am glad that you are not , or sad?
I have been taking Tramadol for years for my Fibromyalgia Syndrome. I take only 1/2 of a pill every 8 hours, along with 2 Acetaminophen. I have never had a "floaty" feeling.
I did have side effects when taking the entire pill for awhile, so cut down to the half pill.
I do have dizziness, but I take a Lyrica also, and a Blood Pressure pill, every day.
I do not believe that Tramadol is addictive, and I know I never had any withdrawal when I stopped taking it for awhile, due to the fact that the fibro slacked off.
Naturally everyone is differant, and effected differantly not only by meds, but also by foods!
I have worked with my meds until I feel that I have found the right dosages for me. That is what each of us need to do.
Actually tramadol is not an opiate and dependence/withdrawal is not that common
Tramadol works on the opioid receptor, so it works like any other opioid.
And if you look up any information about this drug, you will see that is not only physical dependent and has withdrawals symptoms. Usually anything that works by opioid receptor will causes dependency.
For more information from NIH:
Do not stop taking tramadol without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually. If you suddenly stop taking tramadol you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nervousness; panic; sweating; difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; runny nose, sneezing, or cough; numbness, pain, burning, or tingling in your hands or feet; hair standing on end; chills; nausea; uncontrollable shaking of a part of your body; diarrhea; or rarely, hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist).
WOW, for some reason the withdrawals symptoms are exactly the same as an opioid.
Tramadol works on the opioid receptor, so it works like any other opioid.

This isn't true if it's a pure opioid ANTAGONIST. Something like naloxone has a mechanism of action through opioid receptors, yet is an antagonist and has no addictive properties.
