If I can beat an old drum for a minute, drugs should be prescribed by doctors, and chinese herbs by acupuncturist/herbalists. As you know from your experience, it's dangerous to treat yourself- even doctors shouldn't do that.
However, there are some legitimate websites that allow you to buy your prescriptions online. They require a doctor's prescription, as they should. The main advantage of using an online pharmacy is much lower prices than your local drugstore. It's not my place to recommend what to do with meds that are already being taken... even though it's a little different when you're taking self-prescribed, illegally-purchased meds. It's best to work with an MD and an acupuncturist/herbalist. What the literature suggests is:
QUITTING ULTRAM (tramadol) One should TAPER off the Ultram (tramadol) rather than just suddenly stopping. That means reducing the dosage of tramadol gradually over a number of days or weeks.
Herbs and Acupuncture for Withdrawal from Addictive Drugs NADA (the proven ear acupuncture detox protocol - more about that in my article on Acupuncture and Addiction) could make the withdrawal period easier. So would the formulas:
Chai Hu Long Gu Mu Li Tang (Bupleurum Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell) and Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum)
The first one (Chai Hu Long Gu Mu Li Tang) would be better for someone with a tremor disorder. Neither formula should be taken longer than a couple of months.
Instead of Painkilling Drugs... Your prospects in the future for treating the aches and pains and tremor would be great with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I would suggest you find an acupuncturist in your area and see them for at least a few months.
