Scary stuff Pishka but maybe this was the fright you needed. There's a ton of experience with tramadol tapering on MH. We have a tramadol focussed thread on:
http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/128660?personal_page_id=142
where you can post your questions on tapering & get support from others who have been there or are currently tapering.
Tapering is not an exact science with tramadol & you are on an extremely high dose. Ideally, you would benefit from a doctor's guidance as you may need an anti-convulsant like neurontin or valium to manage the risk of seizure.
If you want to manage on your own, I would start by reducing your daily dose by one or two pills per week & be prepared for a slow taper.
The amino acids in the Thomas recipe can certainly help once the worst withdrawals are over but if you put your body into significant withdrawal from tramadol, valium, immodium, gatorade & Epsom salt baths will be your best tools.
Best wishes.
