advice please

I have been tapering and this is the seventh day. I went from 200 mg Ultram a day and for a week took 150mg. a day. Now I was going to go down to 100 starting tomorrow but then I will be out of pills the day before my daughters big birthday sleepover next Sat....do you think I should just go ct tomorrow or taper quickly this week. I can't decide for myself no matter what I will be uncomfortable for 6 girls to sleepover and take shopping.

thats a tough one what I might do in that situation is be sick the day before the party and save some of the drugs you have for the birthday so you  can make it through.  children can really get on your nerves if  you have nothing I know this I have a 5 year old that never stops the energy they have is amazing. thats alot to do when you in withdrawls good luck sorta reminds me why being dependent on drugs is such a drag.

Can you cut the 100 in half. I do not know to much about ultram but, if you could do that for a few days it might help to have a 100 on the B-day. Wishing you the best of luck!

I agree with dyblue.  I would just keep tapering and even if you have to go a day without (like the day before) save some for the day of the party so that you can at least get through that day.
