trmadol withdrawas

I am on day 7 of tramadol withdrawal, and still have body aches and general "don't feel good."  Took 500grams per day for about 8 months.  My question, is how much longer to expect withdrawals.  I thought I would be much better by now, but I can only say I am about 50% better.  The body aches come in waves.  I will be OK for several hrs. then here they come again.  The aches will stay with me for about 4-5 hrs.  I will fell OK for 4-5 hrs, and than we start over.  Any help will be appreciated.

Tramadol is one freaky drug in that it has analgesic properties and also seems to serve as an antidepressive in some capacity. In that respect, for some people Tramadol withdrawals last longer than withdrawals from other opiates with shorter half lives. That all being said, you're at 7 days, which is phenomenal. Please, hang in there, you'll feel better soon. Plus, as the days go by, you'll be surprised how well just 800mg of Advil will help the aches and pains.
