I'm working on getting off of 200mg ultram er a day.
So far I have to 50 mgs left. I am breaking them up and
taking them whenever I feel unbearable. Is this just dragging
things out, or will it help me? I've been offered suboxone,
but the last post says it isn't good....any thoughts?
Is claritin allergy stuff ok for the skin crawlies.
And any help with the all over body flailing thing would
be much appreciated....

Getting off Utram is a piece of cake and when I was takeinfg five 10mg of lortab thats what I was put on. only after Suboxone nearly killed me, be very carefull of that and methadone. Its just like youve just switched to a worse habbit really.

Hi, I have been on tramadol for over 3 years...I take 5/6 aday but am dependant on them for the energy they give me. I can have my house perfect within an hour, do any chore and play games and have fun with the kids. The moment I stop taking them I ache like crazy, I cant sleep at night but Id be able to sleep all day. My kids are young so sleeping in the day is not an option. Coming off them, for me, I find unbearable. I havent the energy to move and have to plan simple tasks like "brushing teeth" in advance. Tasks that use to be just simple and every day life, without Tramadol, now seem impossible. I dont know what to do. I dont remember what feeling "normal" actually feels like anymore :-( When I take Tramadol, I know Im going to be full of energy and happy happy happy. When trying to go cold turkey I feel depressed and just want to lie down and not move or talk to anyone. It feels like the worst hangover ever and I always cave in. :-(
