tamadol help withdrawls

[peaches299]

Hey guys

Peaches here, haven't posted in a LONG time but I have been really working on getting off the vicodin. I was weening myself felt kinda crappy for a couple of days about a week. I found myself back at the doc for more vicodin but I got tramadol. Its seems to last longer but it doesn't give the same effect so I just took two a day. I found two vicodin hidden away and I took them one day and they didn't do anything!! I felt achy and tired the whole day. Is tramadol doing this or am I going through withdrawl. I feel like the tramadol is easing the withdrawl of vicodin but I know i will get hooked on the tramadol. Does anyone know about tramadol? I feel like a failure because I keep telling myself "today is the last day" i can get by on one a day but then I go back.....ugh

Tramadol does not "help" with withdrawl.  Tramadol stops the withdrawl process by its own opioid action & then taking the place of whatever narcotic you're trying to kick. Tramadol sets you up again by causing you to re-addict to it, tramadol hydrochloride instead, No relief at all: just substituting one serious addiction for another real-deal addiction that's just as nasty as the other, if not worse.

Really, tramadol is not the answer.

so many fall inot this trap thinking the trams are harmless..and BOOM..they become addicted to the trams..letting go is hard but u will have to let go of all the narcotics...and flushing and have no available pills is what u may need to do....good luck and be safe

Peaches its hard but if you are going to stop the vikes dont start tramadol its highly addicting and the wd from tram is far worse .Ct the vikes the first 5 days will be the worst but it does get better.you can do this without the tramadol.
