Tramadol taper

[tramaddi]

I have just found out I am pg and have been addicted to tramadol for about one year and take an average of 15 pills per day and want to get off them asap but I want to minimize the WD symptoms as much as possible what is a good taper schedule for me??  I really want to have a healthy baby and am only a week or so along no more than a month.  I also signed up for the addiction tracker and will definately need all the support I can get.  I need to get started asap

tramaddi,
I remember you . Make sure to tell your OBGYN that you are using and how much. That way they can come up with a taper schedule for you .I would not try to do this on your own from that much tramadol.Have you had sezuires ? GTMI is right contacting 1234betterlife is a good idea she is very knowledgeable. good luck.

can your doctor help you with a taper as being pregnant u need to be safe....there is an article on tapering in the health pages...main rule for tapering is no spikes in dose...small doses spread out over the day and slowly decreasing the dose..trams should be tapered due to risk of seizures...i tapered off of hydros and it is a challenge for some...I ended up having to hand mine over to a friend to dole out to me each day...made me feel like a big fat loser...but anyway  i got it done...keep posting and stay strong...u have a wonderful little reason to quit!
