More details to this question:
The doctor told me he would give me an non narcotic medication due to those reasons of addiction and the harm it can cause .well now I am addicted to pain meds. I even went to a rehab but no help. And I'm sure everyone knows the dangers me those drugs. But no one ever told me about a process to ween off. I was taking a pill called tramadol.they said and it is clarified as a non narcotic but that's not true. It is an opiate and I am now addicted. And have been for the past 7 years or so. I need help to go after the doctors or even better the drug company for saying it. Is a non Narcotic and it is just as addictive as heroin.

A medical malpractice lawsuit against your doctor would be very difficult. Until late 2014, Tramadol was not a controlled substance. Your best option would be to join a class action against Ortho-McNeil for not providing the FDA with a complete picture of the risks of this medication when it was originally approved for sale in the United States.
