Wish list for tramadol withdrawal
I just got off the phone with my doctor. He told me to send in a list of what I want to take so that I can quit the tramadol. I have tried to and tried to taper and I just feel like I need to stop. When I get down to a certain point, something always comes up and I take more to (fill in the reason here).
From what I have gathered, I am going to ask for the following.
Lorazapam (or valium)for anxiety and sleeplessness
Loperamide (immodium) for the runs
Sumatriptan (tylenol or advil) for headache
Dextromethorphan (Robotussin) for pain and restless legs
Is that about right? Is there anything else or a different combination that anyone knows of that would be better?
Thanks in advance....
He also mentioned clonodine. So maybe that too....

It's so great that you have your husband to be with you!
I took tram for a little bit too, my doctor said 'it's nasty business'.
You can do it!!

--When I called my ortho to try and get help, they laughed and said "tramadol is not addictive, it's a anti-inflammatory!"
sigh.
My family doc is the one trying to help me. He thought we could do a taper and called in enough to taper down from 6 a day over the next three months. That meant 200 pills being called in.
I'm just not strong enough, and I called him and told him that. So now we try this way. Husband is going to take a few days off to be with me so that I won't be home alone.
Let's see how it goes.

Def get the Clonodine....it is a must have. And also ask for Requip (Restless legs) or Carbidopa (resltessl legs. The carbidopa, for me, eliminated ALL restless legs.
Good Luck...
