9704730 tn?1405741284 I am finishing my 3rd day clean from 15 years of being chained to tramadol. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. How long does this pain from withdrawal last? ?? I am scared of figuring out how to live and function without this drug. I have been on it so long I don't remember how I was without it.
Avatar f tn So, I'm just wondering how long withdrawal from Tramadol usually lasts. I have been doing a lot better lately; the brain zaps are very infrequent, and I usually feel okay on just 2mgs of Suboxone a day. I want to stop taking the Sub when the withdrawal from Tramadol should be over, but I heard that Tramadol withdrawal lasts longer than opiates. I'm getting excited because I might not even need an SSRI, as I am feeling much better from the Serotonin withdrawal symptoms.

Avatar f tn I took a tramadol yesterday and today and it eased the withdrawal some. Should I take tramadol for about a week or should I just not take it at all. I know that it too is addictive but wasn't sure if I would be dependent on it after a week. I am afraid that it is just going to prolong my withdrawal and make it last longer. Has anyone been through a similar situation that can give me some input?
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum. Getting here and looking for answers is the first step. The withdrawal is uncomfortable at the least, but it's a 14 day span at the most for the physical symptoms. How much and how long and what drug have you been using. There is always someone here who can offer more specific advice.
Avatar m tn Tramadol has a very long half life what are you currently down to
Avatar n tn Mr Junig I currently quit cold turkey on tramadol and was taking a very high dose and am having really bad withdrawal. How long do you think i will feel this way or what can i do to get the opiates out of my body faster than just sitting it out?
Avatar f tn I've been trying to stop Tramadol since having a hip injected. I thought maybe the insomnia and jumpiness was from the steroids. Hands and feet hurt, but heat helps. I've been using 50mg tramadols about 6 or 8 a day for 7 years with Vicodan one or two at bed if Tram didn't work. No sleep except for maybe an hour or two in a week. Last Tramadol was over 24hrs ago. What are the symptoms of withdrawal? How long til this ends? I'm getting reallllllly tired.
Avatar n tn i recently started taking ultram after seeing my doctor and asking for a non-narcotic pain reliever. i have had serious problems with norco and lortab in the past. i recently started going to aa and have quit drinking and smoking, so naturally even though i have serious back pain i wanted OFF THE DRUGS. well, i switched from norco to ultram and when i ran out, i have started withdrawal REALLY bad. this is worse than i have ever experienced with the previous "narcotic" drugs.
Avatar f tn He has not taken a tablet since the night before last and is really suffering but is determined not to take another, does anyone out there have any idea how long it takes for these withdrawal symptons to pass as I am realy worried about the affect this is having on his mental health, he has started to say that he would be better off going for a walk with one of his rifles and sadly I am concerned that this is not just talk.
Avatar n tn The withdrawal effect is nasty, it should be tapered off gradually to get rid off it to minimize such withdrawals effects. How many mg was he taking for how long?Do I understand right if you said he used to take or is taking 10 pills a day or is 10mg a day? I don't think there is such low dose as 10 mg, I heard of 50mg minimum, so if it is 10 pills a day no matter how many mg each is is a strong dependence he is on, the more mg the worse it is.
Avatar f tn Hi Marilyn, I was on Tramadol for 4 years before being switched to stronger medicines. How long have you been taking the Tramadol? My doctor replaced 1/2 of my daily Tramadol dose with Vicodin and I continued that for a year. I did get very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms from the Tramadol when that switch was made. However...
Avatar n tn you will drag out the withdrawal process by taking tramadol, either that or get addicted to the tramadol....possibly just go back to your drug of choice.....you're doing great, but I suggest trying it without the tramadol....the fear of getting sick is far worse than getting sick. You can do it!
Avatar f tn thank you so much for your help. How long were you taking tramadol for? It seems to me that some people don't have much of a problem if they have been on them less than 6 mos. Is this pretty much the idea...I feel awful but not as bad as coming off of Oxy Contin and mad at myself as I thought Tramadol was habit forming but had not physical withdrawal. I got a few ativan at the clinic, that is all they would give me so at least I feel a little more relaxed...

Avatar f tn t need another separate Tramadol withdrawal post, but as similar as the other withdrawal stories seem to be with my own experiences, there is one part which differs greatly with me and I only hope someone may have some insight. Two years ago I tried Tramadol for a week. It's a long story, but after that week I decided to stop taking it. I've been through the withdrawal and quit successfully, but I began using the drug again after that.
1178983 tn?1279663655 I have been taking Tramadol 50mg-100mg two to four times daily (never exceeding 200 mg) since september 09. It works well for pain. My concern is that I may become, or have become physicaly dependant. I would like to stop taking it and see how I feel with out it but after doing some research I'm scared to just stop taking it. While it helps with my pain quite a bit, I hate the idea that i will have to take it for the rest of my life.
Avatar f tn I have been taking tramadol for 7 years. I knew I was addicted to it because of how bad I felt when I didn't take it. I decided to come off it about 6 weeks ago and have suffered with a lot of very unpleasant symptoms. I am still suffering them now and wondering what do I do about it? How long is it going to go on? I used to take up to 1000 mg a day, and now I'm the proverbial bear with the permanent sore head. I have had enough of feeling like this, it's horrible.
Avatar m tn The pharmacist gave me the prescription when I left hospital for the tramadol and was still not the wiser just how bad these drugs can be. I was on 8 x 50 mg tabs per day. It was only when I have tried to cut down these drugs that the **** hit the fan. The withdrawal has nearly cost me my marriage and I have been so emotional, crying, suicidal and having bad mood swings along with severe headaches that I realise it is these drugs that are causing this.
Avatar f tn Have been reading a lot of posts, but havent seen anything yet that might give me an indication of how long symptoms will last, but will keep looking. Still have to work out how to manage chronic pain from back and fibromyalgia.
Avatar n tn So after a few days, any withdrawal you feel is going to be a tramadol withdrawal and not a hydrocodone withdrawal. And yes, it will be worse, there are many more horror stories about tram than hydrocodone. I had a doctor try to take me off of hydrocodone by giving me tramadol a few years ago when I was stopping meds after a surgery, and the withdrawals were terrible.
Avatar m tn My doctor doesn’t think it will still be the tramadol as she thinks the withdrawal will have gone by now. I think it is the Tramadol. Do you think it might still be the tramadol 45 to 50 days after stopping (cold turky from 400 to 500 mg daily) making me feel very uneasy and panicky?
Avatar m tn Subutex 4/4/4/2/2/2mg. 10 days clean. Feel like hell. How long will acute wd last? Was going cold turkey from that hydro level a good idea? And taking tramadol now for unreal pain from prostatitis. Would wellbutrin help more with wd?
Avatar m tn m in day 5 off of the Tramadol and thinking I might as well tough it out. Threw the rest of my Tramadol out. How much longer can I expect to not sleep?
Avatar n tn hi it can be addictive ,but im sure you must need it if your doctor gave you it?it depends how long you take it for and how big the dose is.
