Quitting Tramadol (Support Group) 2

Just starting a new Thread.  This is continued from Thread "Quitting Tramadol (Support Group)".

Hi All!

[PanSinoeis]

I have 20 Norco right now...I been saving them.  Don't care for them much anymore.  My mom gets them and gives me 2 or 3 once in a while.  I take a dose once in a blue moon.  I have to have like a bad headache or something.  I want to feel the same way towards Tramadols.

Me too, Norcos, I ate 40 in 14 hours once.

I would think weight might have some bearing on it. I'm 143. Over the years though I have built up a heavey tolerance for alcohol and at one time I was on Norco for a long period of time also.

Wow!   36 - 24.  I never heard of someone taking that many per day.  Can I ask though, how much do you weigh?  I take 11 per day and weigh 110.  So would that mean that someone who is 220 would have to take 22, for us both to be taking the same amount?   Hmmm, I take 1 for every 10 pounds I weigh per day.

I felt a lot better after reading your post. I thought I was the only one who was using such huge amounts. The tapering is such a slow process though that it's driving me crazy. It has taken me 4 months to go from 36/day to 24/day. Sometimes I feel hopeless when I realize that I'm not even halfway to clean! I'm really glad I found this website. Thanks to everyone.

Actually you have addiction problem just a bit too complex for me to relate to, never having done percs.  Lots of Hydrocodone and Tramadol.  But never took a perc.  But I think you can do it.  I've seen people much worse off.  If anything you will come down in doses at least, and the more you come down, the better for you.  6-8 Trams a day.  4-6 hydrocodone a day and 4-6 percs a day.  That sounds healthier.  Or 10-12 Trams and 6-8 hydrocodones?  That would be much better.
