Working on 3rd day clean

[Khatzee]

No Tramadol in my body for 3 days.  I actually feel pretty good.  I still get those times in my head where I think for a moment, "grab a couple of pills for a pick me up".  It's really weird, but I guess the brain is still wired to get what it is used to getting.

[Khatzee]

Yes...amazing!  I'm ready for a delayed reaction if one comes.  I suppose that everyone is different in their unique experience with WD.  Let's see if I still feel this good after a week:)

[Khatzee]

I guess since I didn't have an actual pain problem, I only took them every several hours.  Whenever I took more than that, I would get a sleepy, groggy feeling that I didn't like.  After a time, I felt that the pills had something to do with keeping me a generally happy  person.  So far, I'm feeling even happier because I'm not having to worry about if I have enough pills or enough money to get them.  I'm not being overly confident about continuing to feel great....still feeling cautious about a possible delayed reaction.

Wow, how did you manage to only get up to 300mgs after 5 years?

Wow, this is pretty amazing. I hope your not having a delayed reaction. But this reminds me of xanax wd's. I never had any and was taking alot for a year or so, yet people in here talk about how bad they are and how dangerous it can be due to seizures. I never had a problem. I hope things keep going the way they are for you...

I am counting my blessings, definitely!  I have been on them for about 5 years...300mgs a day, sometimes a bit more.  I've wanted to stop many times, but was too afraid of the WDs I heard about .   I guess I just got really tired of having to worry all of the time if I had enough or where I would get them next.  I was getting close to running out and decided to try tapering.  It's worked so far for me.  The only problem I'm having is not getting enough sleep.  Even that, though, is getting better:)   I hope that things keep going well for me, but I'm still determined to not use even if they don't!

Thats great,,I guess you should be counting your blessings..From all I have read about tramadol, wd's normally are real bad when getting off that stuff.. How long and how much had you been taking ?
