Hi, I've been taking about nine 50mg tramadol for around 4 yrs and I've tapered myself down to 5 a day. I took 6.5 Sunday and 5 yesterday. I'll be out in about a week and I want to be tapered down some before I run out. The achy crappy depressing feeling all day really ***** but the night time absolutely is torturing. My legs ache soooo bad and feel like I have to constantly move them. It's the worse feeling ever! I know I can quit and I will do it. I want to be normal again and not feel like oh I need to take one before I go to the store or plan my whole day around my doses...Can you guys recommend any vitamins or anything to help? Thank you so much for listening!

A real concern is the amount of acetomenophen..somebody else will have to chime in regarding recommended mg..etc..
It would be ideal if you could/would get yourself to an ER. Is that possible? I totally understand the lonliness, we all do. This addiction for many here has cost us everything. BUT You can do something about it. How long have you been using? I finished tapering oxycodone 29 days ago. I came here a wreck not knowing what to do. So many advised me, prayed for me, and is supporting me through this. Don't give up..it can be done.There are so many here with miracles to tell. I have a long way to go but I now believe that it is possible to get through the next 24 hrs. without opiates..you can too. Step by step. Please let us know what your circumstances are..and let us try and help you.
I'm praying for you right now.

Actually I agree with snakejones. You should probably get to the ER.

On the brink, I agree with FassFeat, you need to take this one step at a time. First of all, your here posting which is a big deal. The people here are amazing and incredibly supportive. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this site. Next, can you start to slowly decrease your dose. Can you get to a NA meeting? Just a few suggestions to start with. Hang in there!!!!!!
Your not alone!

Honey, you've got a bigger problem than we can help you with. Fifty Percocet pills a day on top of clinical depression is absolutely a fatal combination. You have got to get help. You need rehab, or need to go to the ER, and you need it NOW. Tonight! Go, and then let us know what's happening with you. I am very worried about you. Go NOW!

Welcome to the forum. You have got to address these issues one at a time. I would start with cutting back on the percs. That is a dangerous level to be at even if it happened gradually. You are too valuable to leave this as your legacy. It is overwhelming when you think about trying to fix it overnight, because it didn't get broke overnight. Just a least start moving in the right direction, before something bad happens. I wish the best for you and hope that someone will say something that will help. I really just don't know what to say. God Bless. Andrew
