Needing support from Tramodol withdrawls

[pillsnomore]

Seeking support from any and all while going through the hardest thing ive EVER had to go through! Thats getting off this devil pills called TRAMODOL...... Im stopping pretty much cold turkey from 36 pills a day(yes what ive worked up to) to pretty much nothing at all. I really am looking for support and understanding from people in my shoes or who have been there!!! Going through this is the hardest thing in the world, but believe it will be much easier with friends who "understand"!!!!!

WHOOOO HOOOOO DAY 4!!!!!! To me day 4 is a HIGE accomplishment! Being I havnt missed 1 single day with taking my trams in the past 5 years..... Is it uncomfortable? Absoulutely it is.... But Today is better then yesterday, and tomorrow will be better then today! I can only go forward in feeling better, NOT WORSE!!! The aches and pains are MUCH more tollerable!

Ive even been pushing myself to "get up" and do something. Whether its a small tast for just 10 min.. It helps, it really helps alot! Getting your body moving, and occupieing your mind is the best thing to do! I have even found that even though you dont want to get up let alone go out, that if you go for a car ride, just for 10 min it really does wonders....

Its so unbelievable to me how "1 little pill" can take away so much of your life!!! I always thought i was on top of the world, that i could do anything while "running" on the pills. I thought i was invisible I guess..... But once you get out of "the fog" so I call it, then You start to realize just how Worthless you were.... Its so nice to finally be "present" in my familys life just in these past 4 days.. Even though I still dont feel all that great, Im very much enjoying the things in life that have been taken for granted for such a long time!!!  And I will keep enjoying everyday from here on out!!!!!

Thanku sooooo much for the comment!!! Its awesome how our possitive words have made u think about dropping the trams!!! I started out years ago with the regular 1 or 2 tabs once or twice a day, and after so very long i had to keep "uping" my dose to control my pain... Well needless to say after 5 years on the "devil pills" i was up to 30-40 50mg trams a day..... Ive been sooo unblievably fed up with living my life this way anylonger... So i put my foot down and threw them all away!!! It is the hardest most painfull, uncomfortable thing ive ever done, but sooooo worth it!! If you are having throughts of stopping now with only 3 or 4 tabs a day... PLEASE DO IT!!!!! It only gets much much worse....

I am still very uncomfortable during these withdrawals, but having the right attitude and the help and support i have found with this site is a god send!!! I have come to realize just how "important" I am to this world, and expecially how important I am to my husband and my wonderful boys!!! So not only am i doing this for myselft.. But the 3 most wonderful men i have TO LIVE FOR!!!!

Good luck to you and stay strong.. Were all here for you if you need us:))

You are SO right - you do have to become your own best friend during this time - something we should have done a long time ago huh?  But it's true - I often say we should treat ourselves the way we would our favorite person in the world.  I definitely agree with you on that one!  And I did respond to your note - so check your inbox when you get a moment!  See you soon! :)

We really do have soooooo much in common!! Crazy world isnt it? My husband is my number 1 support! But man oh man is it very comforting to know I have somebody out there that is "all the familiar" with my life!! My husband is wonderful, but hes never had an addiction of any sorts. So as much as he's helping me through this and keeping me oh so strong, he doesnt acually "know" what im going through. I mean he oviously see's the physical part of what im going through, but has nooooo idea otherwise! And to have somebody who does is soooooo comforting to me:)

And I totally know what your talking about with my husband being so proud of me!! For these past few days, I have been told how wonderful i am, how truly proud he is of me. And he hasnt stopped.... It makes me feel so unbelievably strong, and u know what? makes me feel just as proud! Praise really does work wonders!

I am def trying the epsom salt today! Thats one thing im not worried about "using" to make me feel even alittle better! Thats great advice thankyou.... Yup im forcing myself to eat well, good nutritious foods, being I havnt in so long! And its soooo funny you say that about your husband calling to make sure you were eating... Mine has done the very same. The little reminders to drink water, the texts or phone calls during the day to "check on me" and remind me of the little things i must do!!!

I am staying very strong, and will hang in there for I know what i want out of life now!!! And its to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend to everyone i care so much about!!!! Expecially to myself..... whos finally gonna start thinking about me a little more everyday now:)

True - we really start to appreciate everything again - and my husband was the same way.   He was so great, especially those first few weeks as he would do the shopping for us and make sure we had plenty of healthy juices in the house - the smoothie nutritional drinks, yogurt, rotisserie chickens, basically just the healthy and the comfort foods.  I remember I was actually in bed those first couple of days and he would keep checking on me - and leave glasses of juice on the nightstand for me so when I woke up it would be the first thing I would take in.  And he would call a lot to make sure I was eating - SO sweet.

As I said, we are very lucky and with these great husbands of ours.  I was so grateful for his support and that support only furthered me along as I was getting well.  And I also remember how proud he was of me and actually, still is.  That only strengthened my resolve as I know your husband must be doing the same for you - along with those precious little boys of yours!

I think it's so sweet that he left those notes for you - and he's SO right about the water thing - the more you drink the water, the more you are ridding your body of all the toxins.  And I also found the epsom salts (shower or bath - with showers I would just use them as a "scrub") - but I remember reading how those salts help rid your body of the toxins too through your skin (our largest organ).  And they also provided a lot of pain relief for me too.

I'm SO glad you're getting through this slowly but so well.  Hang in there and stay strong!  I'll look for you in a little while.  :)

OMG...... Thats to weird! You know I used to be the girl who had to get 8-10 glasses of water everyday. It was very important to me, and I also craved it alot! But in the past i dont know how many years, i would maybe drink a half a glass a day. If that!! I would mainly have my coffee, or energy drink!!! Hardly ever had water.... So yes it is soooo funny how these simple things are so great again! My husband is the greatest too:)) I woke up this morning and he had already left for work, and I have about 5 notes placed around the house that reads "drink water"....  It really will work I think, because everytime I see one i wanna grab a bottle of water for sure!! Im very fortunate to have such a wonderful man.... see all the more of a reason to get my life back!!!! WOW today will be a good day i believe! No im not feeling great, but my attitude is and my minds made up!!!!!!! Thankgod for another day  :-))
