Fentanyl vs 8 Ultram

Hi Folks, I was taking 25 Hydro 10 mg a day.. For 4 days have cut back to only 2 with 8 ultram spaced over 24 hours, would I be better off flushing the Tram and putting on a Fentanyl patch for 3 days???

I haven't taken ANY Norco in 2 days, yesterday took 7 Ultram and today only 1. How long is it ok for me to  use the Ultram to help with the W/D's. Today's physical W/D were much more tolerable even though I ONLY took 1 Ultram.. I dont get it.. On the days I was taking 2 Norco and 6-8 Ultram I was W/D-ing really bad but now the physical effects seem to be managable today.  Does this mean that the W/D's from the Norco are subsiding or will they come back FULL FORCE??? This is so frigging hard especially since no one in my family knows about my struggle and I need to keep it that way..

I actually detoxed myself from a 25 a day norco habit.  I went from 20 down to 2 a day and was using the Ultram to help with that. I have only been using the Ultram for 5 days. I was taking 6-8 to help with the W/D's but today only took 1 and my plan is to take 2 before bed so I can get SOME sleep. Does this sound ok???

Just remember not to go CT on trams.  Very dangerous plus it is one of the worse WD's I have had is with the trams.  Just keep going with the taper sounds like you are doing just fine with that.  Good luck to you!

the patch is not a good idea, given its stronger and will just set you back to square one.
