Hi,
Tramadol intake may can cause dependence. It is removed slowly. sudden withdrawal may lead to symptoms. Along with it you may use Methadone or Benzodizepins for weaning. Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
