day 3 of no tramadol will it get better? :(

[jboss10]

Hey Guys,

I'm currently 18 and on day 3 no more tramadol. No back surgey or any of that this was out of shear stupidity. Taking my dads pain meds and getting hooked like candy. I've had the worst 2 days of my life and even today was bad. Just sat in my shower this morning and cried. This is completely the worst thing to ever to have to go through. I hope each day will get better. I've been taking 5-htp, vitamin c and b, milk thistle, fiber to help with my terrrrrible bowel symptons. And i picked up some sleep aid at cvs to help get me a few hours of sleep here and there. I'm going to try and go out tonight and get my mind off of this stuff and stop laying down like i have been for 3 days now.

It makes me feel like I'm a pile of complete nothing. I couldn't even do work for 5 hours on Wends having to come home early because i felt terrible. I wish i knew what 'normal' felt like. I went cold turkey because i got caught and its been the most horrible week of my life.  I'm going to try and go out tonight and get my mind off of this stuff and stop laying down like i have been for 3 days now.

JB,
FYI I know you have already ct off of it but just so you know it can CTing  cause seizures and be quite dangerous you should be past the point that you have to worry now but I just wanted you to know .
   You have a few more days that will be pretty rough .Day 5 tends to be the turning point .So you are very close to the light at the end of the tunnel.It will get better . I hope you never go back to it agian .keep posting there is lots of great support here.

When I was WD'ing off tramadol, sleeping was all I could do!  That, and cry uncontrollably.  Even when I'm WD'ing off morphine I don't get that moody and cry constantly.  But it was a simple thing for me to sleep for 16 or more hours at a time.  But by day 4 the sadness started diminishing, although I still had no energy.  The nasty part of tramadol WDs though is that despair, but from what others have experienced, day 5 is about the end of the worst.  Stick with it!

i'm trying...still no sleep last night feel as if i have insomnia. I think because when i was on them any pain meds helps you sleep like a rock and now i dont have that and arent use to an average sleep. Today being friday will be the 4th day considering i took the last of pain medicine ever monday. I don't have diarreah anymore but i feel like i need to go the bathroom every 2 mins but nothing comes out. I wish i would be able to sleep it off instead of feeling like a pile of nothing during the day. It feels as if i have the flu but 10x worse. I had no choice of going CT cuz i was cut off. CT is the hardest thing and i never thought this would happen to me. I'm just dreading goin to work for 5 hours no idea how i will cope that.
thanks
