Hydrocodone Withdrawal

I was on about 8-10 Lortab 10 MG's a day for a little over a year.  Towards the end I tried suboxone to help get me clean but always resorted back to the LT.  Finally I used the suboxone to what I thought was correct, weined down to about 1.5 MG a day over a months time, then quit all together.  I am on day 5 with nothing and still feel pretty bad.  Upon further research I now know that if taken consitently for more than a week, suboxone withdrawal is no picnic either.  Regardless it has proven to be managable while quitting Lortab cold turkey was NOT!!!   The worst is over, but the sleep apnea and body aches persist... the yawning and depression comes and goes throughout the day.  I came across a friend today prescribed to Ultram and hearing about my body aches gave me a few.  I took two 50MG Ultrams and now I am VERY concerned that my withdrawal period may be set back.  I know that Ultram and Hydrocodone are two entirely different substances, but will the fact that I took an Ultram this far into my withdrawal period set me back?  Please respond, need guidance!!!

Yes Ultram is a drug related to codeine, your brain does not distinguish between Ultram and Hydro.. a drug is a drug. so yes it will set you back a little.. don't take anymore.
