Coming off of norcos... help!
I have been tapering off of norco for over a week now. I am now down to 2 norco a day. Yesterday I started taking tramadol a few times a day to help w W/D symptoms. I am aware that tramadol is addictive so worried that I may be trading one drug for another. Am I just prolonging the W/D of the norcos? Will using the 150mg's of tramadol a day be detrimental to me? It seems to be helping with the terrible W/D symptoms. I truly don't think I can become addicted to it since I'm using such a light amount & plan to do so for only a few days. Any advice or kind words would be wonderful. I really appreciate it.

You may be able to wean off of tramadol after you taper off the Norcos, but you are right to be cautious. Tramadol is making your withdrawals easier because it is an opiate itself, so you are truly going from apples to apples.
In fact, Tramadol may be quite difficult to quit, but if you are committed to it and determined, you can quickly space them out until they are done. Because you have not been on them long they may not have had a detrimental long lasting effect on your serotonin system, so you should not have too much depression.
Please read my blog that has to do with the Tramadol misuse,etc...It has a lot useful information, but the most interesting part of it, are the comments that were left by the readers. Please take time to read those.
Unfortunately we get plenty of patients in our clinic with addiction to Tramadol, so by no means is it a benign drug. Use it sparingly and be careful. Good luck to you.
