Tramadol WD

[LostM]

I know I've posted before but I can't find it. What is the best or usual way to taper/wean off tramadol and will this lessen the WD symptoms?

hi, I am also trying to wan myself off Tramahexal SR - have taken 300mg - 150 morning and 150 in evening for the past 17 months following a back op - have less pain now so want to wean myself - can I not halve the dose for the morning and then again in the evening - so 75g morning and 75g evening for a few weeks and then skip one tablet every seven days ?

that is great ,you can do it .... when you start getting to a low number of pills you may only be able to go down by half a pill a week ..... If you have any quesrtions feel free to pm me .....

It sounds like you are well on your way!  You have the right attitude and outlook on this addiction....Try to be kind to yourself.....There are so many of us out here with addictions...No one chooses this.  Be very proud that you are on the way to beating it!
You can do this!

Cool thanks
Been reading your journal stuff. Very useful as I am i the process of finally addressing issues behind my addiction and dealing with the "shame" of being an addict but trying to look forward and be free of dependance on pills and to learn skills to deal with problems rather than escape them. Learn to like myself too. Addiction - so complex
