tramadol withdrawal remedies

I was successfully addicted to tramadol for many years !!!! As IBK said tell us more tramadol can be just as addicting as other opiates. doctors are big on saying its not addictive but many of us found out the very hard way that was wrong ....

Is your doctor aware that you are taking it? Please be very careful as Tramadol is addicting, and the withdrawal from that can be more difficult than Norco. As far as the sleep aids, I would try some natural remedies if possible. Some Melatonin, Sleepy Time Tea, warm baths, etc. Valium is addictive as well. Hang in there, and best wishes. Please keep posting with any questions or if you would like some support.

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?

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.

Does anyone know any home remedies for Tramadol withdrawal? I've taken them for 2 months straight at least 6 a day and now feeling awful!!! Please help!

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.

I was apparently just booted from my pain clinic after being a patient in excellent standing for 6-years, one week ago I came up 4-days short on my tramadol(two 50mg day x 3 = 300mg daily everyday for six years)! I'm not really certain what prompted this, but the timing was terrible as my kidneys are causing excruciating pain.

My names is Brian and I need a forum for my tramadol addiction. I have taken tramadol for 4 years now and I have finally decided it's time to move on. I am slowly trying to kick it. I'm about four days in (since I made the decision) and I am down to taking 2 to 3 a day (up from about 8 to 10 a day). I'm starting to get jitters and I am having difficulty trying to focus. I also feel like my head is spinning.

, electric-shock-like sensations throughout the body, paresthesias, sweating, palpitations, restless legs syndrome, sneezing, insomnia, vivid dreams or nightmares, micropsia and/or macropsia, tremors, and headache among others. In most cases, tramadol withdrawal will set in 12–20 hours after the last dose, but this can vary.

Risk of convulsions may also increase in patients with epilepsy, those with a history of seizures, or in patients with a recognized risk for seizure (such as head trauma, metabolic disorders, alcohol and drug withdrawal, CNS infections). In tramadol overdose, naloxone administration may increase the risk of seizure.

Hi Jen, it's good news that you are already down to 1 pill & are motivated to quit after only 7 months. Tramadol is indeed a crazy drug & your experience of withdrawals when dropping back from 2 pills to 1 is very common. For some tramadol users, the tolerance factor lead them to get up to 30 pills a day. I was on a low dose but for 5 years & both dose & length of time will effect the time it takes for your neurotransmitters to reset, so your prospects are good.

(why by the way are mild compared to the Tramadol withdrawal symptoms but still are not comfortable at all). Any help is welcome.

We are here for you every step of the way and can help suggest remedies to ease your withdrawal symptoms. Please stick around and keep posting. Good luck to you! You can do this!! Please take care of yourself and try to keep your head up.

m almost 5 weeks in from recovering from a tramadol addiction. Please be aware that tramadol is very hard to withdrawal from. They may last a little longer but it's so worth it! Gabapentin was prescribed to me for 6 days and was a God send but is NOT the answer and especially not for everyone.

Starting the Cymbalta may reduce your withdrawal to some extent, as Cymbalta is a serotonin (and norepinephrine) reuptake blocker, and some of the withdrawal from Tramadol comes from changes in serotonin activity. The withdrawal is not 'dangerous', so do your best to avoid concentrating on them. Distraction is one thing that can help reduce withdrawal symptoms. I would expect them to continue for one to two weeks at the most.

I wish that I could offer you more advice or insight into your specific situation but I can suggest some remedies that could help to alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms. If I were you I think I would discuss this further with the doctor... Check out the health pages on the right side of the screen, there is some good information there. Try to eat healthy, if you are unable to eat, drink boost or ensure to allow your body to get the nutrients necessary to heal.

Hey guys, Im new here and wanted some advice. Ive been taking Tramadol and Hydrocodone together for about three months off and on, perscribed of course, then I started reading how bad withdrawals can be from the Tramadol, so I quit taking it cold turkey with little side effects. Now I'm getting ready to quit this Hydrocodone, just a little scared from withdrawal and what to expect. will it be bad after just three months. averaged about 40 mgs. daily.

s full of great information about helpful remedies for common w/d symptoms. During my detox from tramadol I had a LOT of trouble with the hot/cold sweaty thing too. Hot baths helped a ton (I spent a few hours each day in the tub that first week!). Epsom salts in the water will help w/the aches and restlessness. Showers are fine if you have no tub.

I went and saw my doctor yesterday and he gave me some tramadol ER to help with any pain and discomfort. Is this a drug you can get easily hooked on? He assured me that it is not a narcotic because I told him NO narcotics. I havent picked up the script and dont feel like doing much today. I am just sitting here in a daze craving meds. I have completed 28 hours of this and got some sleep.
