Suffering Tramadol Dependant Male

Updated

I have been using Tramadol for around 3-4 months, so a puppy in comparision to others. My problem is that I have gone from 500-600mg/day down to 50mg in a week and I have never felt so bad in all my life.
When I was younger I messed around with recreational drugs and never had a downer like this.
I feel unable to stop my emotions falling out of my face at any given moment, if I sweat any more I am going to be tiny (42lbs lost so far).

My week has been M,12 - T,10 - W,8 - T,4 - F,2 - S,1 - S,0. I have not been at work for a week or so due to feeling so bad and really need to get back before I get the bullet.

I am 36hrs clear and using zoplicone for the sleep problems, how much longer do I have to do to be completelty clear and restart building my life again after this evil drug?

Well, that was a very fast taper for something you were taking that high of a dosage of, so such symptoms are quite normal.

Learn more Tramadol details here.

As to how long they may last, it's difficult to say, because it can vary from person to person. It's really just a matter of patience and suffering at this point, I think.

How are you doing now? Any better?

Its day 5 and all clear of any tramadol. Sweats have stopped and restless legs have not completely gone but are better. Still struggling with sleep mainly due to legs.

Drastic reduction and cold turkey is not what I would recommend for anyone but I am glad that I have managed to get this far.

I did have wavering moments in the witching hours and darker thoughts of ending things permanently but im still here

Phil- please check in and let us know how you are doing. I have been on and off over the past 10 years- sometimes at 1200 mg day. I found that getting on a SSRI helps- not even the full amount. Several of them have a starter pack that you can get from your doc. After using this for so long, your serotonin production is almost nothing. Tramadol inhibits reuptake... not to get in to a drawn out pharmacology discussion, but it is something that has helped me.. You can google loperimide for opiate withdrawal. wiki how has a very good article called "enduring Opiate Withdrawal" or something like that.. lots of good tips...take care

Hi, my symptoms lasted for 7 days and in that time I only slept for 15 hours due to the restless legs. The sweats/chills were coming to a close after around 4 days or so.

Although I was a short term user of high doses, I would highly recommend slowing down to an end and not the cut it out in a week and suffer routine that I performed! !!

I am now 100% better but still under going the odd night of insomnia but even so I can live with that.

Its been so hard but so worth it.

Good luck to all that are in the same boat.

Phill

You need to cut down slowly, ie: take one dose for a week then drop one tablet for the next week then drop another for the next week etc etc coming off them too fast makes you feel like crap
