Day 3 withdraw from Tramadol

[gonna_make_it]

Hey everyone! Tonight I'll be coming up on 72 hrs without tramadol. When I try to sleep is the worse time for me...I wake up feeling like every nerve in my body is on high alert so I have to get up. Since yesterday I've been sooo sick! My nose is stopped up, coughing, eyes watering, sore throat...feel horrible. In all honesty I can't which feelings are WD's or me being sick. I'm on my vitamins...B-complex, vit c, 5-htp, L-glutamine. Anybody have any suggestions on any I need to add? Sheesh I can't get over how sick I feel...I never get sick!

It will also help with that sensitive nerve thing. It's like every hair on your skinn has grown ten more nerve roots, and you can feel hot and cold at the same time. Blanket on, blanket off, blanket on, blanket off. Sweats and freezing at the same time. It's extremely uncomfortable to say the least.

You can try Imodium until you are through these first few "bad" days. Imodium is almost identical in structure to synthetic opiates, except it doesn't act quite the same, ie "buzz",  but it does bond to opioid receptors and will relieve/calm  the wd symptoms, along with settling your intestines.
Just take it as the package says, but DON'T take it for too long. It is very simular to an opiate after all, and can be addicting. A lot of people here use it with good results.

Thanks for reminding me too!!! ; ) you're doing great!!!

When you feel that way lying down, get up immediately!  Start moving and it'll go away. Maybe temporarily but it's better than staying in bed that way right?  Baths help it some too. Getting up and standing for a bit is best though!

Again, you're doing SO good!

Haha...no u can definitely say your proud of me...makes me feel good:-) Oh I know I can't stand how every part of my body feels extra sensitive...horrid feeling. I'm well on my way to being "normal" again and am for sure not gonna give up!

Definitely!  The withdrawal will feel (and act) like the flu.

Treat it like the flu - nyquil or OTC stuff for colds that helps with the overall body aches and the insomnia.  Might not work that great right now so resolve yourself to the fact that sleeping might be elusive to you for a while.  But the sleep will return.  I can remember those nights when my eyes couldn't stop "fluttering" long enough to actually shut.  But that went away too.

I am SO proud of you for doing this.  Be proud of yourself too even in the midst of all of this don't lose sight of how big what you're doing for yourself right now really is.

I hope it's okay that I said I'm proud of you?  That it doesn't sound too self-righteous.  But I am what can I say?  Thank you for reminding me tonight that those who truly want this can get there - and the pain is a small price to pay for a lifetime of freedom.  Good for you.  :)
