Hi there,

I am new to this forum and thought your reply was very encouraging. If possible, could you explain more in detail about how you quit. You can go to my profile and read my long story. I basically just want to know how long the w/d will be BAD while I am tapering 1 pill a day. The fatigue and restless legs are the worst!! I am still going strong though and on day 1 of my taper. I went from 15 pills a day last week and now I had 8 today, it feels good to be this low but I am scared as to how the rest of this week is going to go. I would like advice on how you felt everyday and so on. Thanks!

Wow, I could have written that myself!  My cold turkey started on Tuesday, Feb.3 (I think) .  Seems like it has been forever.  I have been on Tramadol for over 6 years for degenerative discs in my neck.  My doctor said it was non addictive and still does.  I didn't even realize I was addicted until I left my meds home when we left for an overnight trip....The sad thing is, I have been addicted a lot longer than I knew.  I was addicted when I was taking this **** as prescribed.  It just didn't dawn on me that when I skipped pills...that was the reason for the stomach cramps, jitters...etc.   That makes me want to scream!!  A lot wants to make me scream right now.  But, I just wanted to say to you, since I am a few days ahead of you on this nightmare coaster....it is better than it was 3 days ago.  I have taken melotonin to help me sleep.  The first three nights I think you could have dropped a bus on me and it still wouldn't have knocked me out.  I understand...you feel like you are missing your best friend.  All this said........it is worth it.  It has to be.  Think about it.............do you want to keep thinking up lies to get your script refilled, chasing pharmacies.....etc.  I almost feel like I can stand the pain more than I can the shame.  I am a business owner, church going, woman.  How could I be like this.........................but I have learned and been humbled.  Addiction is a great equalizer!  Please, just stick with it.  I'm not sure yet how to work this forum, but let me know and we could email if it would help.

It was totally worth it for me too. I was dying a slow death (mentally, spiritually and physically). I knew I had no choice and just had to do it and get clean. It wasn't easy but that can't stop you. After you get though this rough period and you look back, like most people you'll feel shocked that your life was ruled by drugs as long as it had been! There is Life after addiction though you may not be able to see that now. Best of luck to you, but most importantly, when you keep your sights set high and want this really really bad, then nothing will stop you from getting clean! Just try to keep busy and keep yourself distracted from the feelings of WD!

Best of Luck!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate all of you and ur reposonses. truth be told can bearly type. Day 3 & just the start, I'm soo emotional and want a pill really bad.
I know sooo many reasons why I have 2 do this, but I swear I feel I'm not capable, not strong enough. Im weak,emotioally physically weak. I pray for help & answers wish I had half the support @ home as I do here.I can't miss a lot of wk Im a friggen RN that no one would believe is an addict. I'm off sick a few days....

It was totally worth it for me! Yes, eventually you do return to 'our normal' whatever that may be.Recognizing your struggling with drugs actually is a HUGE factor, and a major step in cleaning up. So, good luck friend and txt us wheneveryou need to.....we will be here to support you 100% of the way.

You can do this!  I know its hard, I've been addicted to oxys, vicodin, darvocet, loratabs, norco, etc... The first three or four days are rough, but the dust does settle and you feel better. Try to find your strength.  I have sympathy for you, but please don't go back. The freedom I have now is amazing, no more chasing pills. It's unbelievable. I pray every day that I stay clean. We're here for you, just hold on a few more days.

I think it really has been worth it ...I know you are suffering badly right now .The next few days are going to be really bad but then thing will improve.Anything you can do to help build back your receptors is good exercise helped me sooooo much .I used Ltyrosine and 5hpt along with an magnesium calcium supplement .If you need someone to talk to let me know I have been where you are.

IS quitting really worth it?
