Help Tramadol withdraw (fluoxetine helps?)

This is my first time posting, I have been reading this post since Nov 2010. I have been trying to taper and quit for 2 months now and it is not working. I was up to 5-50mg tram every 3to 6 hours. I am now down to 2 every six hours (usually) then I think I did good 3 or 4 wont hurt, tapering is not working.
I have been taking it for pain for rottary cuf injury for 8 months.
Its been horible, running out getting sick, calling dr for script, calls to pharmacy,cancelling plans with friends and family, I even canceled thanksgiving dinner cuz I ran out and was zapping, nausa, diaria so bad. Then I started ordering online and getting a script from my dr. I just want this to stop be normal and off this ****.
I read some where that if you take fluoxetine and go cold turky that ther are no withdraw symtoms, Is this true and has anyone tried it??? Any help would be truelly appreciated,, Im to the point were I just want to go cold turky but I am going to school full time and cant take the time. Im planing on doing it in may on spring break.

Thank You Daisy May

Ive been trying to taper for about two months now I am down to two to three every 6 hours. Im expeirncing A lot of Zaps. I read were the fluoxetine helps with the zaps. Im going to get everything for the thomas recipe and I ordered the  fluoxetine online, when it comes this week I am going cold turky. I cant taper I am an addict and I keep taking more than Im supposed to I Have Tried But Just Can Not Do It.. UGGH I Wish I Could! I try to just take two and my head tells me three or four wont hurt I did good all day. Or I have a bad day and then take two or three. I pray and plan all day im only going to take two or one and a half. Its frustrating.
Thanks Daisy May

Yeah I posted in  the wrong place I redid it here. Im going to read about the amino acid I wonder if any of this works. If I do the thomas and amino and fluoxetine all at once and stop taking tramadol if I will still get sick I wish I knew someone that has tried this...
Thanks Lynn
