Tramadol
I have been a pill popper for almost 4 years now... I decided to stop taking torab 10's about 20 per day with added Tylenol for a better high... So, I got a bottle of 240 tramadol. I just started popping away. 30/40 a day for 6 days. I only took about 15 on day 6... Not wasn't at all!! I thought I was going to come out of my skin! The back of my neck was on fire! I think I had a a seizure because my lips wouldn't stop quivering. My heart was racing and I was having double audio. My jaw was Clenched tight. D I was afraid if I went to sleep I'd die.. This was Monday afternoon evening. I went to work fine yesterday expecting the worse. I had no focus at all. Just didn't want to work. When I got home I started having small halutinatioms. That seem to have continued into this morning. So, am I going to end up going through WD's or, do I just have a case of toxicity? Any answers? Also, this is the worst drug ever!!!
That is all that happened. Last pill was mon afternoon. I did speak to a NP who thought I had toxicity. So, does anyone know... Was that the worst or more to come?
Ha ha ha..wrong thread about the pregnancy part anyways!!
BUT...the rest applies to Tramadol. You can't stop taking it suddenly and at such high doses, it can cause seizures. The max dose on those is 400 mg (8 pills per day). You too really need to seek medical attention to help you off this horrible, nasty drug. Withdraws from it are much worse than opiates due to the SSRI (anti-depressant quality) to it.

Hi,
Tramadol is a drug that you have to wean off of. It's not one you want to drop cold turkey. It could cause seizures and miscarriage. You MUST talk to your Dr and be honest about what's been going on. He/She will be your advocate and guide your through this. The worst thing you could do is hide this from your Dr. I know it seems scary to tell them, but they have seen and heard it all. They won't judge you and have a pretty good idea how addiction works. It is considered a disease, not a moral deficiency or lack of self control.
Congratulations and welcome to your new life...drug free and as a mommy!
