I chose to get off it after getting a warning letter from my pharmacist about
tramadol interacting
with it. I did an extremely slow decrease
with it, alternating nights
with half-doses, then taking it two nights, miss one, then every other, then every 2 days, etc. . . It took months. But it was easy since I wasn't taking it as a response to pain.
With the Lortab, I am trying to do the same thing - just take it on a schedule without regard to my pain and deal with the pain in other ways.
