Tapering off Tramadol

by joanie42, Sep 24, 2008 01:59PM

I am currently using 1200 mg of tramadol each day. I have been tapering off for about 4 months. My starting point was 1800 mg. daily. How many mg. can I safely give up each week?

avisg is the one who knows most about tramadol addiction....tapering is important..i have seen people drop 1 pill each week and also those who dropped 1/2 pill each week...also have seen people drop a pill every 3-4 days...tapering can be hard and takes alot of discipline...sometimes when it gets down to a low dose u made need someone to hold ur pills for u...there is an article in the health pages on tapering and also the thomas recipe for supps..exercise and stuff to get endorphins flowing...pm avis g..and good luck
