I used it on and off for years. It takes three or four weeks to feel normal. exercise really helps.

thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I think I can do this. I am going to follow the schedule. I have been feeling ok even tho I have been taking less than I did before. This is the first time I really tried to quit. I have a vacation to Hawaii next week I think I am just a little depressed since the seizure, hopefully I will snap out of it soon. How long did u do tramadol? How long until you felt normal after stopping? My husband is very supportive but he has a job that takes him out of town. He's only home on Weds and the weekend. so that is hard, especially now when I really need him. I am going to try to stay busy today, hopefully that helps.
I quit in April , I Had wanted to quit for awhile and then I saw everything that happened with Anna Nichole smith and that freaked me out .I had a three week relapse in aug.Save the xanax for detox .
I tapered off . I helps a bit but it is still going to suck. We will be here to help ya post often .

I have plenty left I have been getting them online in addiditon to my monthly 40 script. Do u think dropping one pill a day is too much. I am at 6 today but want more but am not in w/drawals. I am getting pretty tired of ppl scrutinizing me since the seizure. Apperently they think I am a crack head bcuz I have lost weight. I have lost weight (20 lbs or so) but I wouldn't say it was rapid and it is not as if I am starving. I weight 127 and am 5 '2. My H thinks I am going to get fat just so they will shut up. It was easier to lose weight w/ the tram. How did u get off this stuff and why did u decide too? I want to be healthier we want to try for a baby in Dec and I had planned to quit by then anyway, so this just speeds things up I guess. Oddly enough since the seizure I have quite smoking cigs CT (was starting to be a regular smoker like H for awhile) I also tend to drink too often but don't drink so much I wake up w/ hangovers or miss work. I woulds save a lot of $$$ by dropping both habits. I hate to start more pills even an antidepressnt. I just want to get my system back in balance.
trami, I only asked cuz most of the people that I know that have had the seizures were taking more then 8 a day or mixxing them normally with antidepressants or other pain meds.
If you are going to try a antidressant plz wait until you are off the tram all together.It would help to take one . Do you have enough to taper . I would try 6 for three days five for three andso on. I am afriad if you CT it you might have another seizure. Have you talk to the doctor about this ?

I lost track of how many I have been taking, a lot I also actually got started on Percocet and lortab and moved on to tramadol because it was easier to get. I have zanax too but I only use it if I am having a really bad w/draw from the trammy. I only get 8 pills a month so I have to use them wisely. Lately I worry about my heart stopping, a seizure, and liver failure. My brother died last year of drinking, all his organs failed. I also had another brother who died of drinking and pills. You'd think I would never try it after these experieinces I would learn but nooooo... I was considering trying antidepressants but maybe I just need to clean my system out completely and I will be fine. my seizure was awful, I don't remember anything but waking up on the floor. Later I discovered a had a chipped tooth, a lump on my head and bruising on my collarbone and shoulder. My back was killing me. I went to the ER the next morning for tests and they gave me morphine and lortab, neither of which made me feel high or much better. I think I've ruined my body and now when I am in real pain I can't get releif. When I think of the levels I have sunk to to obtain script drugs I am so disappointed in myself.
how many have you been taking and what other meds are you on ? There can be a happy life after ultram . detoxing is not fun but you can do it !!!!!!!! I am proof you can.
