First Congrats on your choice! I hope you can and will do it! Its hard but u can! I am 4 days clean from tram and lortab. Well actually 6 days clean from lortab and 4 day tram. I would take the tram to pass the withdrawls from the lortabs. Anyway its not that hard if you want to DO IT! I for one never want to see another pill in my life! This is my second time around and my very last. I have about lost my family not once but TWICE! I will not loose them over something so stupid!
If it cant make us all feel good then there is no room for it in my life!! But today is day four compltly clean and im still weak and my head is a little cloudy but if you want to do it its ok to feel that pain to show us what it does to our body!
For however long we take it our bodies are running on nothing but fake energy! I learned in rehab the first time around (did it at home this time) that your body has to relearn everything where the drugs have blocked the normality out! Your kidneys/liver have to wake up and they hurt like hell for me the first time around. The first time i was on them for about 2 years, about 15-20  lortab 10's a day never without at all! But i got them prescribed so that held me over for a little while. then buy them off the street! this time it was only 5 months and THANK GOD THAT I GOT BUSTED BECAUSE ITS NOTHING BUT DISASTER IN THE LONG RUN! I HOPE ANY WORD THAT ANYONE HERE SAYS TO YOU WILL HELP YOU IN ANYWAY! GOOD LUCK AND JUST REMEMBER YOU CAN DO IT! DONT GIVE UP!

I'm on day 4 of tramadol cold turkey withdrawal. It has been hell to say the least and I used most of the thomas recipe to help. It really helps if you can get yourself some diazepam for the RLS and sleep, however I never got more that 2hrs sleep max even while on them, now however I feel like I have full blown influenza, that was my cover up initially but I didn't think it would actually happen?! any ideas as to why I'm feeling like this? My throat is sore, running a fever, shivers, congested chest, etc. I went straight down from 500mg a day to nothing...The worst part was the stomach cramps and the total and I mean total lack of energy...Insomnia is also a serious problem, as that is when the body has the full chance to repair itself...Other than that its been a rough ride and luckily I was only on them for about 9 months. If anyone ever reads this the drug should be banned completely. Doctors saying its totally safe and what not is bull crap!! Good luck to anyone on the same path, I had to take a week off work just so I could quit, just remember that seizures pose a major problem when doing CT and those susceptible to them should taper to a really low dose and THEN quit CT. I've found that the flu could be the body "resetting" itself. Good luck and God bless! :)
