Withdrawals from tramadol after 2 weeks?

[HEM5505]

Will you have withdrawals from tramadol after taking them for 2 weeks? I stopped taking percocets after 7 years of use and had horrible withdrawals, my pain was still bad after 2 weeks so my doctor put me on tramadol.   Ive been taking them for 2 weeks and I dont want to use these instead.  Will I have withdrawals from them if I stop?

That was my DOC.  Tramadol is HORRIBLE stuff!!  Often it's said that if you had an addiction problem in that past it's easier to get addicted to other drugs and you will sometimes experience withdrawals from even taking them for a short amount of time.  So...there is a chance that you might experience some mild w/d.  I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with the above....Stop NOW!  The w/d are worse than other pills.  Tram has both and antidepressant and works like an opiate too.  You will experience both physical and major mental/emotional withdrawals.  Luckily 2 weeks isn't too long if you stop them now!  Best of luck! <3

It's possible - you were taking anywhere from 2 to 6 pills a day for two weeks so I think you will probably experience some withdrawal, but it shouldn't be too bad.

But I couldn't agree more with sonrissa - stop as soon as you can because I promise you, the withdrawal will be horrendous if you continue any further.

Good luck to you!

Hi HEM! I would not think after just 2 weeks that you would have a difficult withdrawal! Assuming, of course that you stop now! That being said, I do not have any experience with Tramadol myself! I have read though that the withdrawals are much worse for someone who has taken them long term! Take care, and get off of them as soon as possible! All the best!

take about 100-300mg/day

It depends on how much you have been taking.  I would think you would have some withdrawals, but only minor ones.  What mg amount do you take daily the past two weeks?

Is this the wrong forum to ask on?
