Calling Tramadol / Ultram an opiate is not pushing it as it reacts with the opiate receptors in the exact same way as do heroin and morphine.

Opiate withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, tremors, chills, hallucinations, trouble sleeping, depression or breathing problems.

You exhibited a large amount of these symptoms, the extremity of the withdrawal you're suffering because you had to go 2 maybe 3 days without the medication is not a good sign (you said your appointment was for tuesday and you couldn't get in until friday).

There are numerous medications which are legal that are the same strength if not higher then Tramadol / Ultram.

The fact that you suffer from depression and one of the main side effects from opiate withdrawal that was included on your list is an increase in that means that even if you're not addicted this was not a great choice of medication for your conditions.
