they've been used the otherway around, without many happy customers. IMO, I would try to go upstream.
You're using one opiate for another and without a plan it won't last. I think lortab is strong than tram.
well it will help with the withdrawal from the tramadol but that's only because you'd still be taking an opiate and not yet experiencing a true withdrawal. best to stop taking both altogether. especially given the low dose you've been on.
i've seen many members talk about tapering off of tramadol to avoid seizures, but honestly, i've never seen anyone experience a seizure from quitting tramadol, only from taking high doses. but best to be safe so check in with your dr. and put together a safe tapering plan.
good luck to you!
