Trams could help a diciplined person.  BUT WE ARE NOT DICIPLINED PEOPLE, at least to when it comes to medication.  My doc gave me 60/month and all it did was delay the end.  It helped me stay addicted for another 6 months.  Every time I had a week under my belt I would go get my tram refill.  I'm not a doc or a scientist but it was obvious that something in the trams worked just like an opiate and the withdrawals were more intense than the hydros.  Tapering and suppliments can help minimize the WDs but there is NO free lunch.  You gots to pay the piper.  It is very much worth the effort though.  And don't be afraid to fail.  Learn from what worked and what didn't.  What you should be afraid of is not trying.

Hey me.. I like your handle :) using another drug to come off you doc is not a good idea.. the whole thing about getting off drugs is not a half assed attempt as wd still comes. a drug is a drug. Tamadol comes with a bonus a antidepressant that is really messed up to get off from what I have read.. it would seem to defeat the purpose as we are depressed enough without having to come off a benzo.. There are over the counter drugs that are Natural that would be a lil better and cheaper.. and no wd.. Valerian Root.. for anxiety. Melatonin for sleep Hylands restful leg for restless leg and a lot of hot showers/baths.. Motrin Aleve really work.. and enough can not be said for exercise walking.. this gets those feel good endorphins flowing again.. you replaced them with drugs. You can do this !! Just get the attitude that addicting drugs are not the answer to addiction ok.. take care keep posting.. lesa

Be very careful with the tramadol.  It comes with it's own set of problems.  It is HIGHLY addicting and the wd's are bad.  It has to be tapered down due to seizures that can happen and do.  Tramahater or avis will tell you more on this drug when they get on the forum....sara
