norco

[lorrainejoan]

I had 2 surgeries & have been taking norco approx 10 day. Dr just refused refill. Will tramodol help w withdrawal? Or am I in trouble? What can I expect?

Just my opinion I would rather kik hydros CT any day then even mess with the tramadol and I have done both. I hate trammy's with a passion it plays big frickin mind games with you. The WD's suck with both but I really hate the trammy WD's once again just my opinion I would stay away from the trammys. We are here for you whatever you decide good luck. Peace Steve

Only 4 months is a plus.

I beleive you'll have the same w/d's as we all do w/pain medication, however after the physical symptoms subside, you should be a lot better off than most of us. (hopefully)

I've spoken w/many people that developed a chemical dependancy for a short while like you have.  

It's easier for them to get on with their lives then it is for some like myself who used for 6 years and about 20 per day.

Be sure to get all the ingredients that are advised here.  The worst is no sleep, which makes the lack of energy even worse.

Also, beside the ingredients recommended, have some cough drops on hand.  You'll notice a sinus drip that will drive you wild and it'll help.

Best Wishes.

I would say you won't feel great but you should make it through the day..wed ,thur,and fri might be difficult..if you have any sick days.I would use them then..You have the "flu". By Monday you will be alot better..You can do this..

You'll probably almost make it to the end of the day tomorrow.  It didn't really hit me until about 48 hours after my last pill.

I ran out at 11am today. I will start taking tramodol at 3pm.I also have xanax that I already take to sleep. I guess my question is will I be able to function at work tommorrow? Its a 12 hr shift.I am considering callling in sick but don't want to if don;t have to.How long until w/d start? I don;t know if I can do this.

I had a friend do the same thing and it did lessen his withdrawals...but he still got pretty sick.....sorry i couldn't bring any good news.

I know you are scared..but you can do this..How many do you have to work with to taper? Do you think you can control it yourself? I don't know if tramadol would help or not..i take xanax and it didn't help a whole lot..I understand the work issue..if you could plan on quitting on a wednesday you could have the worst of the w/ds on the weekend..it will feel like the flu..some people feel like it's a deadly flu and others it's not as bad..You haven't been taking them real long so hopefully it won't be so bad..I came off of 14 a day and by the end of the week I was feeling much better..there are a few people here that could give you a taper schedule..

[lorrainejoan]

I have been taking 10/day for 4 mo. I am supposed to work tommmorow. Would tramadol at least help me get through the day. Then I can taper down. I am really scared.

Welcome..let me make sure we are on the same page...you are taking 10 a day or you have taken them for 10 days? I haven't personally taken tramadol but many people here are suffering to get off them..I am sure if you only took them for a few days to get through the worst of it..It might not be so bad..You are going to experience most symptoms within 3-5 days..Depending on your use..If it's only been 10 days then you may be in pretty good shape..
