day 14 ct

[singha]

Yes it is day 14 ct after a 11 year addiction to the so called non addictive Ultram. I am still sneezing a bit and lethargic especially in the afternoon. I am finally able to sleep awhile at night without taking anything. My stomach is still a little queezy but it is all getting better everyday. I hope everyone is doing well here, and wins the fight with these demons.

Oh girl I am soooo sorry to hear that you are in pain. I feel for ya sweetie. Just try your hardest to stay in control that is all. If you have to take a few a day it will be easier to taper when you need to. I am here for ya, I know it's not easy.

Awesome - you are really on your way. Two weeks! I posted you the other day, but after writing a long post I couldn't post it because I had to reset my password and had problems with that.
But as you are progressing, I am regressing, I am on penicillin due to yet another tooth infection and I am in so much pain, I am taking tramadol every day. Only a couple a day, and I still feel in control, compared to taking 12 a day as before, but it is still very depressing. I have had so many problems with my teeth the past 5 years and I have had 11 operations,  where they operate through the jaw bone, and I am just so tired of it (and until this summer I didn't even know what Ultram was, but as we both know, I do now....).
Be proud of yourself, you are doing so good, hopefully you will feel normal and fine in a couple of days.
Have a great day and take care,
Minnie

you are right about that wdagain. Most people don't realize how addictive it is and it is so much harder to kick because it is so much easier to get. Hopefully Dr's are finding out more about this drug and not being so quick to prescribe it.

Good for you, many people do not believe that Ultram is addictive but it is.  Now that you have come off of it and know that it is very addictive and will produce withdrawal you can help others by letting people know the truth about this drug.  Good for you and keep up the great work.
