I also have rls ( restless leg syndrome ) to the extreme and im 8 months pregnant. I was a Norco addict before pregnancy then told that tramadol was a safe alternative. WOW they were wrong. Granted I don't take 20 pills a day but I do take more then 300 mgs a day that I am prescribed. WELL I decided to just up and quit two days ago. Im so miserable . my legs are driving me insane and I cant focus on anything. I am going to try and taper off but then wut happens with my rls? I have only found that narcotics work for my symptoms but I desperately want to be a clean sober mommy. I have 3 boys and one on the way so these tramadols really seemed to help me get threw my busy days. I want to stop but have nooooo clue how. its depressing. Any advice?

How did you do?

Ok this is how you get off tramadol. I been on Tramadol for 3 and a half years .I been taking alot over the course of those years .I woul omtimes take atleast almost 15 on sum days and sum days only 10 or 8 .But gotta tell ya this .I got to the point one day cause after my doctor gave me 240 that was suppose to last me 40 days I ran out on day 20 . I was not in this experience alone cause my wife really liked them too to help get up in the morning and throughout the day .Tramadol withdraw is a challenge and when you get down to that last half or 1 pill you been saving to find another option in your head cause sum of us dont have connections and cant be honest with our docs so we will do anything to get out of wthdraw like taking a trip to buy kratom and spending alot of money on extracts and whatever those headshops are selling to ease the withdraw.Myself and my wife were so antsy on day 1 and bought kratom and it helped alot with the withdraw but as soon as it wore off the sneezing and going to the bathroom was back and not to mention alot of brain zaps that we all hate.So I was lucky got a hold of a friend on day 3 when the sweats were not going away and my friend gave me 3 suboxen and a strip of suboxen that came in a packedge . After 36 hours of not having anything in our system I only took a small piece put under my toungh and she did too and we were back to normal .I was able to streatch the subs out alot made alot of pieces and was able to cutt he strips up so I could streach out the supply.I noticed that wow I was on day 5 without tramadol at all in my system and the thought of wow going from 12 pills of trams to just sinking a piece of sub under my toungh to help this was way more healthy .I also had more kratom but did not take that until I ran out of the subs so I noticed On day 8 that wow I woke up feeling normal was eating better and sleeping better and not to mention the withdaw or the feeling of having to get up take tramadol on a daily basis was all gone ,,,But here is the thing help your self get through the withdraw with kratom it does help .Find a friend or doctor if you can to give you suboxen cause alot of docs wil say tramadol is not even controlled and non nacotic- but look it is a narcotic its just cheeper then most meds and sumthing needs to be open on the market so its easy for us type of people and the vast majority wont fill the ER'S with withdraws syptoms and and you will all be surprzed the people who have to take this daily alot of people like bankers judges and lawers from stress that they get daily and what happens when we have stress we hurt all over and need a painkiller or antidepressent so Tramadol has both painkiiler that produces morphine and antidepressnt and when are bodies get hooked on both of those its hard to fix what we done. So my sugestion is to get kratom for 36 hours and find suboxen and only take a few days of that meaning subs .then after you will be like wow ,Also alot of people will tell ya that you have to be on subs for a while but no you dont .The reason being is that were not hooked on H or oxycotton or perks vikes were hooked on Tramadol Ultram that has a mix of both feel good drugs that who knows may be stronger to sum people and sum perfer it over most drugs.I would not tell ya to do this cold turky cause it is really hard and been through it time and time again over the course of months and years running out early on ultram .Its a  withdraw real bad ,Cause the not eating thing and sleeping restlesness and just plain out bad sweats could poisen your body more.Talk with a doctor make calls also ask for savella its better then cybolta and that crappy lirica it will make you sleepy at first but after 5 days of that it helps as a normal antidepessnt and if you thinkyou still need help suck it up go t a clinic that has suboxen and methadone but you have to have opieds in you sytem first before you go there and may have to take a vike or perk before you walk in that place cause for tramadol the same thing it will not be in you pee and they have to see you been on what the goverment says is controlled,,Tramdol will not show up in you sytem only if the test requires to tset for tramadol.And tell them that you have a problem so they can help you .I also know that you have to find somone that can sign 4 you at the clinc saying you are on perks or vikes and been taking them really long just make sure its in your system befor entry to the clinc.And do not I mean do not take methadone ask for suboxen cause suboxen last good enough and if you think tramadol withdraw is bad think 20 times worse for methadone. I am just trying to help and wish you all luck and am praying 4 you all and I know its hard I was there 7 days ago and never thought that I would make it past dy 4 .But wow Im happy with only a few pieces of suboxen helped me beat that evil pill .I am happy to e free of it and what  has done to my life . cause One last thing dont go to the Er  they will laugh at you like me saying im on filnstones and I willl be ok lol and sen you home with colodine that will not help you and if you do go to the er tell them you are there for a med refill thats it.

THE most addictive drug! Ween yourself down as far as possible. Go to the Doctor, tell him you hurt your back. Get at least 60 750 MG of Vicodin. Take 2 every few hours. Get 120 Valium for sleep. Throw away the Tramadol. You'll be off in a week.

I am trying to get off of tramadol as well, I also have the restless leg issue.  I find that if I take a high quality calcium/magnesium supplement along with Folic Acid, it calms it WAY down!  Also, for the "crazies" when you're not taking tramadol and trying to quit, Xanax (also called alprazolam) and Vitamin B1.  Vitamin b1 by itself is a miracle!  Takes about 30 minutes to an hour, and I take 100mg of it, couple times a day if need be.  The pain/exhaustion/shakes/depression/fear/anxiety/dread/anger crap that tramadol withdrawal gives you is THE WORST.  Much worse than when I quit smoking 12 years ago cold turkey!  Hang in there! Please hang in there, I need you for my own inspiration!  I even stole from friends to get the drug when i was out, it's a wicked, wicked thing.

Thank you!! I have on Tramadol since 2008 because I injuried my back and ended up having 3 major back surgeries. Yes I still stay in pain but I am also tired of taking Tramadol and many other medication's . I am going to try what you have suggested. Hopefully this will work for me. Thank you again!
