24th hour of tram detox

[haves]

Ok so I just pass 24 hours with out tram. I tried to slow taper but I had reduced from about 15 to 3 a day.  Gave my girlfriend the 30 I still had just incase. Well so far. I'm really tired and my stomach is a mess. This is my second tram detox. I took valarian root to help with axienty. It works. My question doe sany one else yawn alot and then the get cold and shake

You are almost there, you're now in the part where you don't feel the withdrawls as much but its more about squirly legs and arms and no sleep and some good mind games. But every minute now is a minute toward feeling better, even though it doesnt feel like it, you're so close, just keep going, take avisg's advice and keep moving, stay active, even though you're exausted, the legs and arms get worse when you try to force sleep and just lay there trying to sleep. So close, every minute is a baby step toward feeling better, you're almost there, move, also, water is your friend, hot baths/showers give moments of relief. At one point I brought a chair and put it in the shower and just sat there and let the hot water hit me, try it, it helps.

SOOO close, don't quit, you almost there.

i just left you a note.  and i posted on day45 again, emilypost.  i highly recommend that thread for support.  please just try to take more hylands,  keep taking them every few minutes.  it is not a drug.  it is safe.  i swear i had rls worse than anyone.  it was my whole body moving , thrashing, with a horrible feeling under my skin.

we are addicts....we dont think about the withdrawals at that time, the high is more important. Most of us go through withdrawals more than once bc we relapse. Its just a continuing cycle, a bad one!

i am on day 4 now and i haven't noticed the yawning except at 3am when i'm wide awake.  what is absolutely KILLING me is this awful feeling in my arms.  it's rls for the arms.  I'm getting mentally tired of feeling like ****.  i can't take time off work and have a lot of kids and have responsibilties 24/7 it seems.  I felt fluish today, but overall that part i can handle.  if my arms and legs (but not as bad) don't get better soon i'm not sure what to do.  this is such an awful place to be for me.  

can i ask a question?  and i mean this with the most respect for everyone here.  this is my first time getting off any drug.  i don't feel like i'll ever be back here, yet i read all these posts about people on multiple detoxes.  why would anyone go back to tramadol?  i'm asking not to judge it, but to watch for warning signs so it doesn't happen to me.  i've learned a lot in these posts and i want to use that knowledge to not be here again.

and any other bright ideas to help me are welcome, even though i think i've already tried everything everyone has told me to do.

yes alot of yawning .I tapered off aver a year ago . The next few days may be very rough for me days 234 were the worst .Then its get better daily if you can try to get out and walk or exercise anything will help speed things along .you can do this.

I am on day 3 of tram detox, and have been here many times before. Yes, I yawn alot, could sleep straight through the day and cant at night. I dont shake but I do get cold chills, I also feel like I dont want anything touching my skin or it makes me cringe, cold weather makes wds 10 xs worse, I think. My depression has been really bad this time and my temper its, like Im numb to everything, but am easily pissed off by stupid everyday annoyances. Usually I try to push through and I do keep going but this one has really hit me hard, I dont want to move!
