Tramadol.

I've been at 8 per day this week, since Saturday.  And I'm wondering if I should drop to 7 this Saturday.  Or 7.5.  It was a bit uncomfortable dropping from 9-8.  Any advise anyone?  I've been on 'em, oh 3.5 - 4 years straight.  The last half a dozen pills are going to be a little tricky.  They say 10% is really the most you wanna drop when tapering.  Probably why 9 - 8 was not too fun.  15-14-13-12-11-10 to 9 was not bad.  1/2 at a time for a while might be just what I need, to regain some recently lost momentum.  1/2 pill per week drop, to 4 pills per day.  That sounds pretty good.  I see myself with my knife shaving dust from Tramadol pills, trying to figure small mg amounts in a couple months.  ...yea that's about 10mg of Tramadol...lol.

Get this, its been years ago but my family doc (had the nerve) to write a script for Tramadol 50 mg, one every 8 hours. Cruel joke for a trying to heal Damaged Sciactic Nerve on left side & Sciatica on both!!! I never saw her again.

Sounds like u have a good plan! Proud of you! I took Tramadol at least a year but I wasn't gettin it the correct way (know what I mean?). I finally got up the nerve & told my Psych all about it. He surprised me. I always expect the worst from docs, no matter what kind of MD they are. I got the bottle out of my bag and he quickly snatched it away (like I thought he'd let me keep it). He wasn't pleased at that web co. I was horrified but he put me on Sub. I said " am I gonna go into WD?" Nope! Really? I was taking 8 to 10 Tramadol each day. Take one Sub twice a day. Really? I sounded like an idiot I know! Lol. No WD not any at all. I felt so happy & grateful he was my doc.

ok, I'm going to go to 7.  I just hope the withdrawals are not that much worse than Sunday, the day after I dropped from 9 to 8.  7 per day, my favorite number, 7!  Yea, I started quitting at about 15 per day really.  I took 15 per day for at least a year - year and a half.  And it has been going kinda slow.  No need to make it too slow.  I should be ok, at 7 this Saturday.  I'm not exactly wooohooo..ing though!

You are still fine going down a whole pill.tapering is not going to get rid of all of your WD just make them bearable.7 is only one pill off the max dose you now
