Ok, your symptoms are at the peak and its should be all downhill from here. For me it took about 1 full week to physically detox, but mentally and emotionally... well lets just say it took time and a lot of work.  For the pain I took Motrin and for the restless legs I took a warm bath with epsom salt which helped to relax.  The cravings will be tolerable but your body is now asking for tramadol and it will take time for the body to know that it doesnt need it.  Thats how it was for me.  My only suggestion is take it one day at a time or even one hour at a time, drink water and eat as tolerable, stay connected and get as much info on your road to recovery.  Its like chopping down a big tree, eventually the task will get done.  Good luck and God Bless.
