Support needed for Tramadol W/D
Hey Everyone,
It has been a while since I have been on here. I had a lot of ups and downs, and basically I have no had a Tramadol since Tuesday at noon. I feel alright so far. I had restless arms yesterday, but today it is just that feeling like I can't sit still. To top it all off my whole family is sick. I have a 6 week baby girl and an 18month boy. They def help me through this. I can tell when I am busy caring for them, I do feel better and it takes my mind off of everything. I just wanted to come on here for support. I will NEVER be taking them again, so this is it. I have no way to get them anymore and I am done. I was on them for so many years. I was up to 15-20 a day at my worst time. I have only been on 2-3 a day since I came down in dosage a couple months ago. I feel ok right now but I know the worse has not hit yet:(

It is a prescribed blood pressure med that lots of Drs use to help with opiate detox. I had taken it about a year ago for only a month and at night only..They also can prescribe you a non-addictive med called Buspar for anxiety..That Med takes a while to kick in..It is not a AD med but a light, light anxiety one.
Just wanted to lend my support. You are already what, 48+ hours in? Maybe your tapering helped a lot. Just take things as they come, try not to worry when the bad may hit. It might not! Seriously, I didn't have RLS with my oxy CT, and I think it was part luck and partly because I didn't know I was suppose to!
And I know you want to try doing this without other meds, but if needed, keep Clonidine in mind. It's much milder than the Ambien you took, but something about it really helps WDs. And it's non addicting.
Congrats on stopping and being a new mommy!

Yes i tried CT while pregnant and then tried tapering. I was doewn to 2 a day when my daughter came 4 weeks early! I know it will be rough but i am the type of person that i dont want any other medicine to help me through this. I just want to get this suffering over with so that i am 100% for my kids. Tonight my issue is the sleep. I even took an Ambien that i had and that is not working. I also have slight RLS that makes me try to lay down and sleep difficult. The sweating at least went away today. I just keep wondering when the bad anxiety and everything else is going to hit.
Dear Kylie..
I know how you are feeling because I too was abusing tramadol, Oxi's or whatever feel good pill I could get my hands on. I am 12 days clean today. Went ct with all of my pain meds.
I just wanted to tell you that my pain mgmt. Dr. put me on 0.1mg of Clonidine, 2 pills twice a day. It helped me with the terrible anxiety and self loathing I was going through in my brain. Also it's good for blood pressure, because I heard when you stop taking these hard core meds c/t, it elevates your blood pressure. So thank God, that helped me somewhat....
Then he put me on Flexaril which is a mild, non-narcotic muscle relaxer that took the edge off the rls and I also had my arms that were restless and having me jump out of my skin.
You said you know it will get worse before it gets better and I hate to say it but it probably will. Do you have anyone that can help you with your children while you go through the detox process? Maybe you need to make a plan. I'm so sorry for your situation, it's hard when little ones depend on you. But you can do it if you really want it.
Good luck and God Bless You!!
