******   I did not write this schedule it was written by a poster ********* By far the best one I have seen you can insert
yourself wherever you are in mgs of  tramadol
My take schedule (1500mg/day).  Chewed tablets in half.  
- 500mg at 9:00am
- 600mg at 1:00pm
- 400mg at 5:00pm

Ween-off schedule by day:
1st day - 300mg at 9am. 200mg at 11am. 200mg at 2pm. 300mg at 6pm.  200mg at 9pm.  TOTAL: 1200mg for day.
2nd day - Same.
3rd day - 200mg at 9am. 200mg at 2pm.  200mg at 5pm.  200mg at 9pm.  TOTAL:  800mg for day.
4th day - Same.
5th day - 100mg at 9am.  100mg at 11am.  100mg at 2pm.  100mg at 4pm.  100mg at 6pm. 100mg at 9pm.  TOTAL: 600mg for day.

PLEASE NOTE***  The quantities I have on hand.  I stockpiled this **** to make sure I could do this and run out right when the time was right.  You can't just decide one day to quit and do it.  It takes planning and you MUST go easy on yourself when planning this downgrade.  This is a lifestyle change that you are making too.  Stick to it!  You just can't start cutting yourself off because you think you are doing a good deed for yourself.  You'll fail everytime.  Plan plan plan.

6th day - Same
7th day - 100mg after 9am. 100mg after 1pm. 100mg after 4pm.  100mg after 8pm.  TOTAL:  400mg
8th day - Same
9th day - 100mg after 10am.  100mg after 3pm.  100mg after 8pm.  TOTAL: 300mg
10th day - Same
11th day - 50mg after 10am.  50mg after 3pm. 100mg after 8pm.  TOTAL: 200mg for day.
12th day - Same.
13th day - 50mg after 10am.  50mg at 3pm.  50mg after 8pm.
14th day - Same.
15th day - 50mg after 11am.  50mg after 6pm.   TOTAL: 100mg for day.

I had to do day 15 for a few days....

Day 16:  50mg after lunch time.  If I made it beyond lunch without taking it, I saved it until after dinner so I could give myself I chance to sleep.  

Day 17: Same.
Day 18: Same.
Day 19: Same and I ran out.

Hey girl!
I actually got through today with only taking a half of pill- 25mgs this morning. However tonight, before bedtime that is, I had to take a whole one because I'm still in my '1 1/2' stage. Now that I'm feeling better, tomorrow I will only take 1/2 in the am, and 1/2 at night- I'll do that for a few days, until this weekend- then I'll stop altogether..oh my my.. what a weekend it'll be! lol.. that's okay, because at least I know I'll be free and clean! Ttys!

Hi

I am new th this.  I was given this taper as advice and was just wondering if on the first day of you not taking any pills, did you still feel terrible, or were you alright?
I am not on that many at all.  I was only on 100 - 150mg a day for 1 month and am having a miserable time trying to get off.  I was never "physically" addicted, but I guess my body is?  I went from taking 2-3 pills a day to just one for a couple of days, then 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm and now I am down to just 1/2 a day.  I know it doesn't sound like alot at all, and after reading some peoples horror stories, I know it really isn't!!  I have such a new found respect for those who are truely addicted and trying to get off.  I can't even imagine the hell they must be going through!!  Especially since I am on so very little and still feel so miserable.  SO my question is, how long do you think I should do the 1/2 pill a day and will I have any more "pain" when I am not taking any at all??
