Back from Vacation & 14 days with only one 15mg Roxi...

[bucksfan]

Hey everyone, I am back from my trip and I have now had 14 days and only one time did I take a 15mg roxi. when I twisted my already injured knee. I told yall I would post what happened with the fast tram taper so.....I stopped taking Roxi on Thur two weeks ago and then took 100mg of tramadol the next day. I felt WD's for a few days but nothing bad from the roxi. Then I dropped to 75Mg of tramadol for a few days and then I dropped to 50MG for a few days and my plan was to jump off from there after 10 days of use. After talking with a few people I felt it would be safer to jump off 25MG so this is the 13th and final day of tramadol use. It will be the third straight day of taking only 25mg and my prescribed dosage was 4 50's a day. I felt a little uncomfortable on the day I dropped from 50-25mg but that was it. The worst I felt was when I made the jump from 60MG of roxi to the tramadol. On the trip I only had two nights of bad sleep. I dont think I will feel any WD's from the tramadol because 25MG is like taking one tylenol 3. The trip was great and I hope that yall are still winning your battle. Its still up and downs emotionally but I feel like if I can go 30 days which I am half way there then I will be back to complete normalcy. Regardless, its not that bad. Only boredom causes me to want one.

Thanks!~~ I will post how the tram made me feel when I stopped but please dont try this for yourself. (I know you wouldnt tramhater) I think tapering or using another substance to taper is not a good idea and would always go cold turkey but I couldnt afford the time so I had to taper with tramadol.

Thanks Cathy, its not a legit 14 days because the 3rd/4th day of my clean time I took my last prescribed 15MG oxy but regardless in 14 days I have only had one and that is something to be proud of. I know the worst is behind me and now the hardest is ahead...if that makes sense. I only get cravings when I am bored so I have to stay busy. I am looking forward to hanging out with friends again, taking my wife out for dinner/wine or even just taking a guys trip. The pills made me content with doing nothing. sitting home was sooo great! LOL, its not but it was. I have never had an alcohol addiction but did enjoy a beer with friends at a sports bar. It has been years since I have just gone out on the town with my friends. I am sooo looking forward to that.

Also, my biggest fear was not being that hard working, friendly conversationist salesman that I was on the pills. I found out that I am that person and that the pills were not making me that person. The entire trip and even work today, I felt like I got a natural high and time went by so fast just by talking to people and smiling...whew b/c I was so worried that the pills made me the better person/worker.....
