Dear Ms XXXXXXX
The symptoms are not due to Tramadol. Tramadol is Tramazac which is an opioid analgesic. The major side effect of it is some amount of sedation. The other symptoms cannot be explained by it.
One of the possible cause for your symptoms is likely to be Post Traumatic Stress disorder. Relaxation, Good sleep and meditation will definitely cause improvement in symptoms. If the symptoms persists or worsen even after more than 3 weeks would suggest you to get a thorough Neurological assessment from a Neurologist.
Wishing you great health!
Take Care
