Ultram Withdrawl

[mrbobby]

I have been abusing Ultram for the past 5 years, and am up to maybe 10 pills a day. I have tried to stop b4 but have such terrible withdrawl sx. that I don't want to go through that again, so are there any suggestions as to how i can avoid the w/d sx. Can I taper, add any natural supplements to my taper, etc. Please help.

I took Lortab for back pain for about 3 weeks to a month and i became "dependant". I was a little too young to know that you could get addicted to ultram when i first started taking it years before the Lortab. I took it for stomach cramps. When i stopped taking it several times after i took the ultram for just a couple days, i finally realized that the miserable feeling i had after stopping the ultram was actually related to taking the ultram. The withdrawl from the Lortab was just as bad! For some reason, i started taking ultram again as a "quick-fix" to pain and depression. I am ashamed and toooo young to on this medicine. I went to go off of it yesterday thinking that since i had only been taking 2 at night for 2 weeks the "withdrawl" wouldn't be that bad. But when i woke up yesterday from not taking it the night before i was so achey and fatigued and had the worst headache. Laying in bed didn't help and i had to get up and go somewhere. Well, i started having these hot flashes and cold sweats (which i can't stand) and then i got so dizzy and couldn't stand anymore. I just wish there was something i could do to lessen the symptoms and to know how long it will take to feel better. I remember the last times it was only a couple of days but they were the longest days of my life. Can i drink water? I mean i would love to sit in the bath ALL day but i have school and things i have to do. I don't want to wait till the weekend. This medicine takes away my personality and going off it causes me depression especially going off it but i think i can handle that. If i can manage exercising should i? Will it quicken it? Because i also know that any small amount of pain is just that much greater when you are in the process of going off it. Okay i am done. Hopefully someone can help!

I have a question~~  I've been on Vicodin 7.5mg for a while now for chronic nerve pain---it has been a great help for pain---before that I was on Tramadol 50mg.....Coming off the Tramadol was no picnic, as I'm sure you're all aware.....My question is:
I'm going away this weekend, so I've set aside enough of the Vicodin for the trip...however, that is the last of it until I see my doctor when I come back. I believe I've become accustomed to the Vicodin, because when I dont take it i feel terrible.....Since I don't have enough Vicodin for the next 3 days until my trip,  would it be safe to take a small amount of the Tramadol each day until the trip, then resume taking the Vicodin during-?
Thanks for any help~!
