Aftermath of War in Gaza
Under siege and grappling with joblessness, factional violence and the aftermath of war, Gazans are turning to Tramadol pills as they seek to escape reality. In Gaza, supplies of Tramadol had surged!
Mental Health Professionals say there has been a rise in the drug's usage in Gaza since the war. The Hamas authorities have tried to crack down on it, but the drug's severe withdrawal symptoms means it is a seriously hard habit to break.

~~~~~ Tramadol: 'Full body blanket' ~~~~~
* Tramadol is a powerful painkiller with a narcotic effect. A single 200 mg dose can leave users sedated for much of the day so time passes quickly.
* One user described it as like being wrapped in a "full body blanket" where problems are not solved but the "volume is turned down a notch".
* It has similar effects to opiate painkillers such as pethidine inducing sleepiness, a lack of inhibition and a sense of wellbeing.
* Because it is not an opiate, it is not controlled as closely and may be easier to obtain.
* Tolerance builds quickly and users need increasing doses to obtain the same effect. Heavy users report forgetting chunks of the day.

Abu Ahmed, Gazan says: "Even if a person kills someone, he can still sleep at night. If he goes out and steals something, he will still sleep. But if you have children and you can't find work to give them what they need, then you can't sleep."
