I don't get it

Okay so there has been many a horror stories.....and mine is not that different. I WAS ON OXYCONTIN 20 3 X DAY AND OXODONE 10 3 TIMES A DAY. ran out because with having Gastric Bypass they do not absorb and I have one of those docs who says that is poppy ****....(it not research it) I decidied instead of supplementing, or buing more, I would just go through it.....well that was Sunday night. Monday morning I had an appointment with my Rhuematologist. I have Ankylosing Spondlytis. She gave me a script for 90 tramadol, for the fibromyalgia I also have. Well I do know the secret that could definitly be the next withdrawal helper. so I took them acording to what I read which lasted until friday. So Friday night would tunr into hell but atleast my mom could take my son. Friday and all day saturday was shaking. Saturaday night the diahreaha started in.....mind you I also  was calling for the angels then, even wrote my sona note incase I died (I SURELY FELT LIKE IT) even hullicinated angels comming for me.....Sunday I woke up with the shakes, but in less amounts. I did have some xanax to help. After my mom brought me more, I just felt so fatigued I could not move....had not eaten or drinking since Friday either....so I ate drank and GUESS WHAT? I SLEPT FOR ABOUT 4-5 hours in one hour burst. I could not believe it. I was thinking a week or so with nada sleep. I did go about 48 hours without some....after the sleep I was able to eat more which regain enough stregnth to MINIMALLY funtion. My son is home and I feel alot better. Got him readu for bed. Which I am writing this right before on Sunday night.

My only questions would be,,,,,
1. Did the tramadol cover most of the week of withdrawal?
2. What is up with when you do get a fatigue moment and have to go potty or something do you get so winded that you feel like you are having a heart attack? (yup xanax stop that too not the fatigue but the heart attack feeling) Not like a panic attack I know what they are but a heart attack, you can feel your heart shake and your pulse gets week.
3. Hoe long will that last for?
4. exept for the fatigue, am I pretty much done? Diahareah is even gone.
5. Will the creppy crawallies keep returning every so often?
6. And the last gross one.....did anyone else notice you get a funky body odor with withdrawals?
7 . What was my day one?


Much thanks. I had to do this with my mom calling me a a hole, a drug addict *sorr I am dependant with feaures of misuse not abuse in my eyes, willing to see I may be wrong. but did not want to go the suboxone route again because I cannot face the stigma. took me 3 years to find a pain doc since the previus doc wanted to try it for pain managent.....but noe i have regained control. I hope you all have not so harsh plans for withdrawals too!

Bump.  Hopefully someone will come along for you with the answers to you questions as I am not familiar with them.

It is a tough uphill battle.  Stay hydrated. You had a good plan in place.  Each hour is one step closer to feeling better.

A previous pain med doc did blood serum test, trust me they do not absorb as much as it would a normal person. But it may just be enough for relief from you. My problem was I was on the patch, fentanyl for years, and then all of a sudden it started leaving welts so going from FULLY absorbed 50 mg path through skin to 20 mg Oxycontin 3 X day did not formulate right, for me at least.

Yes I took 90 Tram in 5 days

THanks for the support.

Hi, I am not qualified to answer you questions, but I'm sure more experienced people will be along soon to help!

I just wanted to point out that I, too had Gastric Bypass surgery about 10 years ago. I take Oxy for shoulder pain, and other reasons, and I have had NO problems with absorption at all! I just eat a small piece of bread or meal before taking one.  They absorb just fine.

I wish you all the best and good luck! Hang tight!

Did I read correctly that u took the 90 trams in 5 days?

Tramadol is also an opiate so the withdrawals didn't start until you stopped taking those.  As for the other questions I don't have much insight.  You may want to work with your doctors ans flush your remaining pills.  It will increase you chances of success.   It takes time,  some get by in 3-5 days and some take a little longer.

Okay so not nearly as easy as I thought. I have not slept more than that hour or two....been since Friday I took the last tramadol. I had to take and get my son last night and have him watch the hell. He is actually supportive. I could not take it. Even with taking about 2-4 xanax no sleep no relief. I gave up. My mom brought me one of my oxycodone. Like a dummy I took it thought I did put up a good fight. I am just not strong enough I guess. I had black diahareaha. I could not walk. nothing. It was just one.....

Questions:
1. Does that COMPLETELY start the process over, or is it just a temporary reprieve?
2. Why did I feel good yesterday morining only to go much much worse?
3. When the hell will the hell end.....I feel like I am litterly in the Dolphin toel in ROOM 1408! (see the movie, you will understand)
