trying to wean off hdros & tramadol

Just started to wean off 2 days ago. I was taking 8 to 10 hydros & 5 to 6 tramadols. I'm sick & tired of the chase. I have to do on my own since I've been to rehab twice & i can't put my husband through this again. Just needed to be heard & it definitely helps to hear everyone's stories.

Hopefully you haven't been on Tramadol too long, the longer on them the more acute mental PAWS. I'm on them now 5 yrs thinking it was innocent to take. Still taking them but am making a plan. . You can't do this alone and even tapering will show the drugs evil colors.This is your last chance. Come clean with your husband. Beg him to help you come up with a plan for after detox. You probably haven't done that with him yet. I know he's done with this mentally, so is my husband but we are talking now about the plan later. I may loose my job because Tramadol has completely become apart of my brains chemistry and PAWS will be there and there is just not enough time to take off work for that. Please talk to him

Hi and welcome!  Congrats on your decision to quit!  How much longer are you weaning for?  You know what detox is like...are you prepared for it?  DO you have supplements and stuff to ease the symptoms?  Detox sure does S**K!!!  DO you have a support system to help you through?  It will be hard if you do it without your husbands help!  Keep on posting here and let us know how you are getting on!!!

I might add this was the hardest thing I ever did. The diarrhea, coughing, anxiety,I even had leg cramps and felt like sometthing was crawling on me.I am no hero. I wanted to get help buy was so worried I would loose my daughter if anyone knew. She is 13. I have been on pain pills since she's one. I had surgery and a lot of dental work

I am to. I was taking about the same with hydros. The fear of running out, the withdrawal when I did, the doctor game! I never thought I would make it through the day. The govt. put bans on refills, fax and call ins for all hydro scripts. That was on Oct.6,2014. That was my last script. I couldnt deal with the insanity no more

Hi, welcome. I "hear you." Sorry you have to go thru this sorry mess again. It blows. May I ask what you were doing for aftercare? Did you stop going? Were you clean for any period post-rehab?

Lots of cool peeps on here so stay close and keep posting:)
