Cold Turkey. From 600 Tramadol 50MG

Guy's sorry I was so messed I posted in the alcoholism conference, sorry...

Oh my god lastnight was a living hell !!!! I told my wife lastnight after she came to bed. She was upset but just prayed for me. She asked where I got the money and I told her we would talk about that later. I did not have anything to help me sleep but woke up a dozen times but was always able to get right back to sleep. I slept with a towel and extra blankets and sweat an unbelievable amount.
I tried to drink water but it was like it would just run through my pores and make me cold so I quit.
I'm drinking some this morning it's 9:09am and I took a aleve for a real bad headache. Also my lower back is hurting me really bad by my spine. I can't seem to get rid of it now. ToManyToCount how many days and nights did your sweats last? Avis thanks for your comments and everyone else who commented. I appreciate the support. I need to cover up I'm freezing.

Thank you both of you. I am hanging in there. My last dose was 12:30 Sunday night or I guess that would be really Early Monday Morning. I appreciate you.

Hey M!

The sweats only lasted about 1/2 a week -- I agree with flmagi on that one.  You'll be sneezing for a bit longer.  The constant sneezing lasted for darn near 2 weeks for me.  But I also spotted your comment about lower back pain - that just finally dissipated - 24 days.

Let me know if/how I can be of help.

Oh yes, The sneezing! That seem s to go on for awhile too.
Cry all you want. I cried for about 3 days.. like a baby.  There's alot of things your gonna go thru, but it will all be worth it.   Trust me.  Just keep talking to us and ask any questions you want.  We've all been there or like you, are going thru it now.  
When was the last time you really laughed?  That will come back quickly.
Can't wait to hear your progress.
Keep in touch,

Oh my god Magi I have been doing that. I just start bawling for no reason. Well because I'm sorry for what I've let happen. It's uncontrollable. I'm glad you told me that. Also I am sneezing alot. I just can't seem to get comfortable any way I lay. Thanks for the kind words.

Congrats on getting thru the night!  A big step.
The cold sweats can last for 4-5 days, but will get better. Try hot baths... just soak. It may help your back some too.  Any pain is going to seem worse right now, this to shall pass.   Force the liquids in. I couldn't drink or eat either and ended up causeing myself more problems and not feeling better as soon as I should have. It's really important. Drink some protein drinks, like Ensure.
The sleeplesness (at least for me) seemed to last longer than the rest of the withdrawl symtoms.  You may also get depressed and have anxiaty attacks. Don't be surprized if you start crying alot. It's all part of it and will pass.  You will start to get better, so hang in there.
Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck and stay strong.
