I am sorry to hear about your friend dying - must have been so hard for you all.

I don't know about coming off those meds I am afraid. I found this on the internet for you though ...

"Do not stop taking tramadol suddenly without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking tramadol, you may experience side effects. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.If you suddenly stop taking tramadol you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as nervousness; panic; sweating; difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; runny nose, sneezing, or cough; numbness, pain, burning, or tingling in your hands or feet; hair standing on end; or rarely, hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)."

They do match your symptoms don't they?

As for the flu you can get injections at the doctors to protect you from getting it.

Never stop any regular prescripotion drug suddenly.

Also your friend would have had some other weakness in his body in order for the flu to have progressed so far as to have affected his heart.
