is it still withdrawel

Hi all. I have been taking 3 7.5 vics a day for a year. Occasionally 1 tramadol as well, for lumbar compression fracture degenerative disc disease and 2 ruptures discs.  I also have a mortons nueroma in my rt foot. I started having a pain in my right side along with cramping which may or may not be endometriosis. I decided to get off the vics to make sure it wasn't side effects. I'm still taking 1 to 2 tramadol a day but no more!  I want to be drug free but I'm having so much pain I don't know what to do. Its been 15 days since I took a vicodin. I still have a bottle but gave it to my husband. I have tried to be very honest. I have also been taking soma to help with the leg cramps which have gotten better. But here I am awake on my birthday in severe pain crying my eyes out.  Last 2 days I am having pain in my groin and back of legs and in hips plus the nueroma. Back is actually better. I've been going to a chiropracter 3 times a week and getting adjustments and accupressure. Could my aching still be withdrawels from the vicodin or tramadol?  Or do I need to make sure the pain isn't from endometriosis. I have had pain so long I can't stand it!  I want my body to be chemical free!  Also I'm a basket case. Do I need an antidepressant or will that make things worse. I have 4 boys and I'm not performing my "supermom" duties.

everyone is different but im surproised ur doc gave u trmadol while ocmin off the vikes ur not supp 2 take that during withdrawl for risk of seizure. why did u decide to come off the vikes? were u abusing them?> or just dependdant physically? i would def talk to ur doc. the drained feeling can last a while or until u figure out what is makin u depressed or feel tired... most times theres underlying reason why people use n u may ned to just deal with those first. but tryin an antidepressant isnt a bad idea. i have come off of opiates and if u need to talk feel free to PM message me im n a lot of the time... i also have 2 kids and am disabled do to mental disorders including depression adn anxiety wich i was diagnised with at a very young age and waaaaaaaaaaaaay before the meds..

I don't know much about the physical symptoms, but I know that I too am a total basketcase and its been 58 days for me. I just starting taking zoloft 4 days ago. I hope it helps. Reading on here says it can take months for the mental withdrawl to go away. I just didn't think it would for me. I have 3 children and understand how hard this can be with kids. Good luck to you. If you think you need an AD then try it. I am trying my 5th one now. Maybe it will work.
