Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

See, Tramadol do acts on certain areas of brain as anti depressant and so, after stopping Tramadol, it can cause depression.

So, the management is mostly symptomatic and needs to be taken care of by various ways that includes either help of de-addiction centers.

There is no specific medicine to help with the tramadol addiction.

However, a few medicines can be used based on the symptoms.

If one has vomiting's , Metocloperimide or Ondensatron can be used.

Now, for your depression and anxiety symptoms, you can discuss with your doctor to prescribe you anti anxiety like Clonazepam for use basis.
