Tramadol withdrawal
Is there something that helps with fatigue from tramadol w/ds?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself. Tramadol is especially difficult, because it affects both opioid and serotonin receptors, thus leaves you depleted of multiple of important neurotransmitters that your body need to relearn how to replenish.
It will takes time (weeks), for your receptors to down-regulate (for the brain begin to heal) and to start making its own endorphins. Brain heals pretty slowly, so it may take months to get rid of feelings of sluggishness, restlessness and depression. The best thing you can do is take good care of yourself, eat healthy food, stay hydrated, keep active and busy. Stay away from sugar, soda, and simple carbs. Do not consume caffeine at least 6 hours prior to bedtime.
Take a look at my blogs about options for detox and recovery. You may also take a look at my clinic website where I also have my blogs and a lot of other info about drug addiction and recovery. Look especially into the blog and the info on Naltrexone therapy after getting clean. It really improves your chances of staying clean for good by cutting down your physical cravings. Look into my clinic website as well. All this can be done by clicking on my name in blue and on clinic logo.
There is an injectable form available now that is covered by all major medical insurances called Vivitrol that you would need to get only once monthly to stay clean. Just keep it in mind for the future. Good luck to you

A related discussion, length of tramadol withdrawal was started.
Is it possible to taper off tramadol too slowly? I am tapering off 150mg. I am cutting 1/4 tablet every 10-12 days. Is this just too slow? Should I hold the cuts for a shorter time? I have been on it for 2 years. Thank you!
