cold sweats

I am wondering if waking up at 5am feeling sweaty but my feet an hands are cold is a WD sympton? I have woke like this the past 2 days.  Is there anything I can do about this?  I had 5 beers last nite over a 6 hr period.  I was suppose to stay up late so I would be tired today because I have brain scan test today cuz of my seizure and I guess they get a better reading this way.  I also feel very lethargic and depressed today.  I am at 6 pills today.  I don't have diarreha and am actually going on a regular basis which is great no constipation.  I did come across 2 percecets yesterday and had them too but it did nothing for me and I really regret it it was stupid and pointless.  I am so tired today.  my Hubby is going to be home today I always feel like I have an easier time when he is home.  I don't feeel like drinking.  I feel more aware of how all these things affect me since the seizure.  I just hate this sweaty feeling, i have to just get up and shower every morning to feel better. I want to start to exercise but I don't know if i have the strength today.  I don't even feel excited about our trip to Hawaii this weekend.  I just want to feel normal & i know the pills are a quick fix but it will only set me back further if I cheat.  I just have to stuff it out.

I am curious as to how many Tramadol you were taking when you had the seizure?
I have been taking 20-22 a day and am ready to taper. Can you tell me how to taper?

Can you get clonidine? It works great for hot/cold flashes it's what got me through these past 10 days. Its for blood pressure..

I am new here.  I am hooked on tramadol and had a seizure last week at work.  Pretty sure I overdosed myself so every since then I am trying to tapered I started with 8 pill, then 7, and now 6 for 3 days this is my last day at 6 so tomarrow it will be 5.  This is the first time I have tried to quite and I hope I can do it.  Ive had a few slip ups but wake every morning ready to try it again. In the past I never could stay under 8 and thouht nothing of it until the seizure.  The worst part so far is the cold sweating feeling, it sux and I do want to take more pills.  I have been taking a multi vitamen and sometimes a muscle relaxer or melatonin or tylenol pm before bed, not all at once.  It seems to help me fall asleep but not stay asleep.  I want to try the L-Tyrosine and B6 I could sure use the energy.  I hope this isn't too much w/ my multivitamen?

Hi! I am sorry, I don't know if you posted prior, but I am not familiar with your story.

You stayed up last night for a brain scan today. I got that part. The beers were probably not a good idea because of the test. I would mention to the doctos that you had them, just to be safe.

So, you have stopped using pain meds, right? Then you said you took 6 pills? Of what?

The sweating is a sign of W/d's. It's like a "clammy" feeling, right?

I wish you well and hope the tests go good.

     The percs may have caused the runs to go away as they can constipate you.  I have similiar withdrawal symptoms as far as the cold sweats go... don't know 100% but I was told they are from low blood pressure, may just be a withdrawal side effect.
