peaks and valleys of wd??

by lisa7714, Jul 25, 2008 06:26PM
so i stopped taking ultram 5 days ago... after 3 days i was feeling about 85% better and i was feeling SO INCREDIBLY POSITIVE. then yesterday and today i have started feeling worse again. is this normal? i have been through narcotic wd and it's very predictable for me... 3 days, then i was better, no going back to the crappy feeling. this "non-narcotic" BS is so much worse. any advice?

ugh, you've got to be kidding me... i can't believe my doc prescribed me this **** to get me off norco because it's non-narcotic... seriously, norco wd is SO MUCH EASIER/FASTER, at least it was for me, and i was a long time user! i barely took tramadol for 1.5 weeks! i hope it gets better soon, i have a final next week and i cannot study...

I have found the peaks and valleys to be there with narcotics (never taken tramadol).  I have been having good and bad times.  It is especially hard when the pain gets bad or stressful situations arise.  It will get better.  I just keep thinking back a year ago and wish I would have successfully quit then when I first tried.  Think of how good things would be now.  That day will come when all of us will look back and be thankful we got through these tough times.
