Tramadol withdrawal

by tina466, Aug 20, 2009 04:23PM
Can any one tell me what is the best way to withdrawal from tramadol? I have been taking them for about 3 1/2 years now and I really dont want to take them anymore. today is the first day without them and I had to leave work sick. I was feeling very achy and fatigued. I just need to know if I should wean off slowly and how long these withdrawal symptoms will last. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't know a lot about trams, but there are a few here that do. Talk to the CL avisg, she knows a lot about them. Did you do a taper,  c/t of these can be dangerous and horrible w/d's from what I have heard. How many did you just come of of taking per day. Someone will come a long soon that can help you better. Good luck!

I have been on trams for eleven years and over 40 pills a day.
I have tapered down to 8 pills a day within two months.
Trying to stop CT may be dangerous and may not work.
I did the following.
Week 1. reduced my dose by only 20%.
Week 2. reduced that new dose by 20% and so on.
This way you won't feel like your giving up all at once and you really have a chance at stopping for good. Prayer is a big help because you are not alone even you think you may be.
I truly hope you defeat this terrible problem and I will keep you in my prayers.
