can u use tramadol to come off of oxy ?
I am looking to use Tramadol to easy my oxy withdrawal symptoms. I'm not looking to use the tramsdol long term, only for a week or two. Has anyone done tho before? I have heard it works, if the tramadol is taken in low doses.
No, that won't do anything for you. You would be taking an opiate to help from wds of opiates.
Literally, almost every single new post is someone being terrified of wds and looking for a way to get around it. There isn't one. Just jump ship, my friend. It will be about a 5 to 7 days of yuck, then the symptoms lighten up a bit.
How many oxys do you have left? For success, you need to cut your sources: block dealer's ph # etc. Make sure you don't have anymore access to anything.
Stick around. There is tons of support here. We've all been where you are.

Absolutely not, I had the same mindset that I can take tramadol to block the WD of the hydrocodone. All it will do is cause a WD from the tramadol once you stop taking it.I have been reading these posts and forums for many years trying to find the easy way out as well. Afraid of detoxing, and just looking for a miracle drug to snap me instantly out of withdrawal and back to feeling normal. Truth be told, as I'm sure you will see if you read a lot of these other posts, is that there is no easy fix to this horrible thing called addiction. We all need to face reality and seek help. I just recently faced my demons and have been clean now for 10 days. I know that doesn't seem that long, but for me it's been absolutely fantastic and I'm loving it. I've been addicted to hydros, oxys, morphine, tramadol for about 12 years. I know technically tramadol is a synthetic opiate, but it does cause major withdrawals. As far as the whole suboxone topic, I would highly recommend staying clear from that. You will be replacing one addiction for another. I have tried, and failed from that as well. What helped get me down the right path, was finally being a man and coming clean to my wife and getting her support to seek treatment from a professional. I have been prescribed .01mg of clonodine 3x daily as well as librium. The clonidine as been Absolutely wonderful in every way for taking away the withdrawals, and for me that is what always led me back to using, was the fear of feeling physically like death from the withdrawals. Best of luck, we all deserve better than this!
Hi and welcome to the forum. You are looking to quit oxys and you have come to the right place. If you stay you will get lots of support. When you are feeling better, you too can reach out to others. This will make you stronger!
Tramadol is a synthetic opiate that has a long half life and a worse and longer withdrawal than oxy. After you run out youre in for it. There is no way around it. But you know, it's not really that bad. You can do it. We will help. One step at a time.

The Thomas Recipe helps. I think it's on here somewhere as The Amino Acid Protocol.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, quitting opiates is easy - i've done it dozens of times. Despite the fact that my use increased each time I went back out, and my WD got worse each time I "quit forever," quitting was always the easy part. I think "sooner or later" I always went back, but the truth is there wasn't much later about it. Until i completely surrendered to a program of recovery, the longest I went without relapsing was 58 days.
When I got out of my first rehab, i met with an addiction professional who told me what she believed was required to get me into sustained recovery. I was thinking "she's crazy ... that's way over the top ... there's no way I'm doing half of that." Perhaps sensing my resistance she said "I promise you, if you don't have a program you WILL relapse." I didn't argue with her, because she had obviously drunk her share of the cool aid and i was POSITIVE that I would not relapse. I was just out of rehab - I felt great for the first time in years, I had gained back much needed weight, I had been sleeping at night, my bodily systems worked on their own without the need of meds or devices. I just knew: I AM BETTER. - RELAPSE IS NOT PART OF THIS PICTURE.
I relapsed less than 48 hours later. It got worse than ever. By the time I was pushed into my second rehab 5 months later I was literally almost dead. But, I was ready (or quickly became ready) to surrender and work a program, staying clean and sober one day at a time.
I don't worry much these days about staying clean and sober. I go weeks and months without the slightest of a desire to use. I can't remember the last time I had a day that was defined by that wanting and needing to use. But, I still work on my recovery one day at a time, and my need to stay in recovery (in the center of recovery, not the fringes) is as central to my life as was my need to use when my addiction was active.
