tramadol addiction

[pitypat]

I would just like to say that anyone out there who is addicted to tramadol, please, please get some help.
i didnt, i have taken it for app 2 years and was taking way to much in a day, I have just got out of the hosp
where i have been in intensive care for a long time. The tramadol caused me to have a series of siezures and I almost died in a pool of my own blood. By the grace of God my husband found me just in time to save my life. And quiet possibly the lives of 2 2 year old and 1 3 year old grandchildren in my care. i had read of the dangers and just did not think i could function without the medicine, therefore i kept taking thinking that want happen to me. It did. Right now i am also fighting the withdrawal symptoms and it is pure Hell. But trust me If I can do it anyone can. I am constantly praying to God for His help, and He has revealed to me that He will help me if I do my part. This is my 6th day with no tramadol and I feel myself getting better. PLEASE take my advise. If I can help anyone out there please contact me and I will do eveything I can to help. Love in Christ Pitypat

I am so glad that I have this site to learn things from.  Each and everytime I go to the pain doc, they want to give me that med.  I refuse.  I am already stuck on the damm narcs, I do not want to change on for the other.  They always try to get me to try, but I tell them I read here about people going through hell to get off of it.  Good luck, you can do this!

From what part of your body were you bleeding???  How many Trams were you taking per day?  I have been praying hard for strength to go through W/D but I'm so frightened, I can hardly stand it.  I have been on Tramadols (8-9 per day) for 15 months.  Please let me know!  You have my heartfelt congratulations and admiration for what you have been through.  God did answer you; I know He's furious with me!  But we addicts are still His children and I don't believe He'd forsake us.  We are not sinners, I don't think; we are lost through our illness.  Thank you for posting.  PS.  To anyone who suggests tapering, I am one of those who just cannot do this----it's all or nothing for me.
