should i use tramadol to stop w/d from suboxone?

[alicelost]

I recently detoxed with suboxone-i used low doses for 11 days-stopped the sub-for 3 days and felt so ill-i took approx 2 mgs yesterday..i won't take any today-cos of the long half life-but i know the w/d will be back soon-hopefully less-since i took 3 days off-and then 2 days-
my question is does it make sense to switch over to a few days of tramadol to wean me off the suboxone-?
I don't want to go into extended use for detox-
Anyone w/ exp. using tramadol for a few days-to get off the sub/opiates-please let me know.
Thanks alot!

they wont help very much just to get through withdrawls and then when you stop taking those you will just be at the start of w/d again.it is best if you can to rough it out for a few days, hope you will be ok.ultram is very addicting i should know took them for years and then quit c/t one day and was two weeks of agony and no sleep.

Hi Alice.  I just want to agree with Cathy.  Trams do indeed come with a whole set of bad problems and they are addicting. Ive read lots of horror stories on here regarding trams.  Best of luck to you!

hi alice, i dont think you should use the trams..theycome with thier own set of problems.  just take the sub every few days for a couple weeks and stop....i know your goal is to be free of thwe addiction just just take it slow with the sub...each time you have to take the sub, take a little smaller dose til you are at a crumb and you should do okay   good luck
