O 15 37.5 g a day for 2 years

I could not taper as am a addict.
I just want more and more.
DR knew this but still gave me them
On 6day of cold turkey.
It's hell on legs
Clonidin really helped and lots of fluids
I also took pramipexal  for restless legs.
The insomnia is still bad
I relapsed 3 times so went 3 times more through withdrawell from tramadol.
My lovely dog was prescribed them so I took hers.
Now 1 week clean .
Never again lost two jobs .
Start workbin a new job Tue.
This stuff is evil .
Clonidine helped a lot with sleep and sweats
Still getting sweats and bad insomnia.
But am out of bed and living my lfe

I hear it helps with the flu like symptoms but will make you sleepy. That's what I read a doctor say. I kind of wish I had some right now cuz I'm already feeling fluish at 36 hours. I hope it helps you
