Hey there! I'm so glad you are doing this.
I have been off tram for over 2 months now. The first month is FAR worse than the second! : ) When my muscles were sore and stiff, the best thing I found was a hot bath or shower and gentle stretching each day until it passes. And it will, I promise. It's just the WDs causing it to seem so much worse than it is. I also took vicki's advice and took 800 of motrin. Also, you can alternate every couple of hours with tylenol. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's better than nothing.
Don't be surprised if your pain gets MUCH easier to deal with when you get clean! Mine is non-existent except the headaches I have had. (unrelated to WDs) And even that hasn't made me want a pill!
You can do it!

Hi~ First of all,good job on quitting Tram and tapering Fioricet!! That's hard!!!
I'd say your symptoms are normal and will pass. Symptomatic relief with hot baths, several times a day, will help. Drink lots of water and take multi vits. Try Motrin 800mgs. up to 3x per day.
Have you seen a doctor recently? It's always a good idea to get a check up after being on meds for that length of time...
Keep posting~
