Tramadol help

Hi I'm katy, I'm 20 and have been on tramadol for over 14 months now, I tried to stop taking them last september but was struggling with all the withdrawal, so the doctor prescribed me with my own & told me to cut down as much as I could, so he put them on a precription so I get 28 once a month but they don't even last half - then I take my mums stronger ones, I don't know if I can get off them at all I've been used to them - and how they make me feel for a whilr & I like the way it makes me feel, but I'm only 20 and think it could affect my future..

Please consult your Dr. and get some medical help for what your going through.  I don't know of anything you can take to make you Detox Faster, maybe someone else does, but if you've had seizures trying to get off these meds you do need Medical Intervention, or your kids just might end up not having a mother at all.

I wish you all the best and hope you can get some help.

I too am having a very very hard time. I have been on Norco's for the last 4 years. And I just had another back surgery and I am sick of my life on pills. I have 3 great kids that have the right to have a clean mother. Is there anything that I can get over the counter to help me detox faster?
I have really bad seizures when I have tried to get off these pills, so u can see why I am scared to death.

Tramadol has turned my life into a nightmare.  I've been taking 50mg 4x a day and had no idea that this medication could be so hard to get off of.

I don't like the way they make me feel, I've been cutting back and it's been very hard for me.  If there was ever a drug from Hell, as far as I'm concerned, this is it.

I'll be very happy when I get through with this Taper and Withdrawal and can get back to having a "normal" life.

Please get help and stop before it gets any worse.

Hi!  The WD will not be fun, but it's necessary to get control of your life.  AND....it's worth it.  Taper them as much as you can, and then stop.  Read the Thomas Recipe on the health pages too.  Lots of hot baths help with RLS and aches.  

You can do it!

Hello imagine 19. I know exactly how you feel I know exactly how tramadol makes you feel, and it's not worth it!!. I have been addicted to oxycodone for 1.5 years now and took tramadol in between. I am at day 2 of w/d its hell I won't lie, but you need to realize you will ruin your life, whats a few hours of happiness from a pill compared to the rest of your life? if you stop taking theses pills you will begin to feel normal again you wont depend on a pill to make you happy or keep you awake. You can stop and I believe you can! Withdrawl will last 3-8 days of physical pain I was told, after that its a mental thing and people on this forum can help you through it like they are helping me. Its not to late to save your life from this addiction!!
