I have a question about the difference between oxy and vicodin are these two drugs seperate addictions for instance I am on day 7 (yippee) without and oxy's I have been taking some small doses of vicodin for the last 7 days to keep myself from going completely off the deep end although there have been many many times where I thought I was going to absolutly lose it, I have been through this once before my main issue with detox is anxiety is by far is my worst symptom I can deal with the lack
Please don't take Tramadol!!! I've been taking it for 6 months and can't get off. Before i started taking it, vicodin worked so great for my pain...now if I take a vicodin it does NOTHING for me because I take such a high dose of trams! with trams like most pain killers, you usually have to continue taking more and more to get it to keep working for you. Some people say it does nothing for their pain but it does help mine.
With you saying you are going to take a vicodin to help with the withdrawals is addictive behavior. There is no difference in taking vicodin, tramadol, or anything else in the opiate or opioid family.
From what I have read, tramadol should be tapered due to the risk of seizures. You may want to consider getting back on the tramadol and doing a slower taper. If tapered properly you will feel little to no withdrawals.
I know you say you are not addicted yet, but please be very careful.
So after reading through more and more posts, I feel better about just coming clean with all that has been going on. Plus I had my kids around and couldn't type too much. The truth is that there is a Vicodin component to this as well. It's trams all day and then Vicodin at night, it has just become a daily pattern. With the pills comes the smoking, so yes I secretly smoke as well, which when I am off the pills I have no craving for at all. Now I am trying to quit all 3 at once.
So i went to my Doc and told him what was going on and asked him if there is anything out there not addicting and he told me Tramadol is not. I was on Tramadol for 7-8 months and they did not do as well for pain as the Vicodin did also felt very detached from everything. Of course i ran out one day with the Tramadol and was now up to 6tabs. daily. I went in severe whithdrawl could not sleep stay warm keep warm and the shakes. Went to the clinic my Doc was out and talked to someone else.
Thanks for the responses guys. I started using the tramadol the day after running out of Dilaudid. I would normally feel a little uncomfortable after using Vicodin 7.5's, running out, and then using the Tramadol. After a couple of days, however, I always felt like I would be fine with just the Tramadol. Of course, when I would get access to the Vikes, I would just justify it and say that I have the Tramadol when I run out so why not just use them and feel a little better.
I have been prescribed vicodin for years and recently prescribed tramadol for chronic neck and shoulder pain, doc thought it would be good for my condition. so i stopped with vicodin and I took tramadol abit the middle of the month of June, maybe 3 pills (50 mg each) for 3 days. I didnt notice a difference in my pain and I just felt weird so I didn't take anymore and day or two later went back to vicodin (maybe 1500mg/day). Then I thought I will give tramadol a fair try.
I want to get some basic information that is relevant to most everyone and not specific to a personal situation. I have been a vicodin addict for many years on and off and have now been taking tramadol 400mg daily for about 4 months with an occasional bought of a week or so of 50-80 mgs of vicodin daily. I would like to know how bad withdrawal will be at this level when compared to withdrawal coming off of 200-300 mg of vicodin which I have done in the past.
As some of you know I'm an addicted to Xanax and I'm working in my tapering off of this benzo, but I had also taked as prescribed, Vicodin 5/500mg and Tramadol 50mg for over a year. I don't think that I am addicted to these opiates psychologically, never took more than prescribed the Tramadol( twice daily) and the Vicodin when I had migraine-which happened to be 3 or 4 times a week, yes.
Hey there.....I don't know about percocet but I took tramadol with vicodin before. I take tramadol and my script was running out before I could get it refilled so I took the vicodin to help make what tramadol I had left, last. So, medically I think it wouldn't hurt anything to take them. You just have to be very careful with tramadol! I am in the process of trying to ween off of it and my dr.
Since I started to wean off my Xanax addiction I quit taking the Vicodin and Tramadol, except for 1 day had bad migraine and none Imitrex pills, my insurance only covers 9 pills and paying them is more than 200 dollars. The point is that I do not feel side effects or W/D effects from quitting the Vicodin and Tramadol. It this possible? I didn't even knew Tramadol was an opiate until I joined this community.
The real difference between Tramadol (Ultram) and Vicodin is that they are meant for two different purposes. To get the best pain relief from Ultram, it is to be taken every day, 2-3 times a day, for an extended period of time. It takes 2-3 days for the full benefits of the med to take hold. Vicodin, on the other hand, provides maximum benefit quickly and goes out of the system equally fast. It is meant for short-term relief.
Tramadol has generally a worse withdrawal then Vicodon but not that much difference for most people. Tramadol also helps deppression even if you know it or not and therefore is best to be tapered off slowly. I want to say that usually that doesn't work and would be best to go cold turkey but check with a doctor first. How long have you been taking it and how much of each drug? I want to also give some advice if you find it too hard to quit then I would recommend rapid detox.
00 and still take 1.5 every 4 hours ( I used to take 2 every four hours). This gives me the total of 3 per day. Yesterday, I panicked when I had no vicodin ( my mom gave me 20). Today I felt strong and ready to taper. I hope I can do it tomorrow, just have to make it to 2:00pm. Has anyone tapered like this? It seems to be ok if I can keep busy. Thanks for the support everyone!!
My pain management doctor recently switched me to hydrocodone 10-500 due to pharmacy crack downs and I am itching like crazy and having bad nightmares and don't sleep well and grind my teeth bad. I must be having an allergic reaction? I'm not allergic to anything but this now. I'm suffering in pain cause I can't take these side effects! I was on Oxycodone 10-325 and didn't have any problems.
Way to go! It definately looks like you got your mind set. 16 days is fantastic! I'm on day 3 and I can't wait to say day 16 soon. I used tramadol because nobody had any other pill at the time. I'm day 3 off vicodin, morphine, norco, and tramadol and as vicki595 says, its a fake feeling. Although I didn't get the same high I got with tramadol as opposed to the others, I still was able to manage to get things done and be in a descent mood.
Tramadol is a syntheitc opiate. You probably will not feel ANY withdrawals when you stop taking vicodin and swtich to Tramadol. It fills your opiate receptors in your brain just like vicodin. You won't go thru withdrawals because you are essentially continuing to take opiates.
Tramadol is more addictive and the withdrawals are worse. In my opinion, stop while you're ahead. Do not take tramadol, and stop taking vicodin.
good drug and bad drug both are addictive. Hrdo gives more pain releif with less bad effects but both have them. Tramadol ultram is just no good.
whats the difference between hydros, norcos, and vicodin??? I thought they were all pretty much the same....
