Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn Tramadol is known to result in withdrawal effects when it is immediately stopped. The symptoms might include: Anxiety, sweating, insomnia, chills, pain,nausea, tremors, diarrhea, upper respiratory symptoms, hallucinations (rarely). The manufacturer states that tapering off of the medication may reduce the chance of these withdrawal effects, however, no specific tapering schedule is mentioned.
Avatar m tn Glad I decided to look up the side effects of Tramadol and found this site. Everyone is so great about sharing. Makes me feel a ton better and much more hopeful. At least it all makes sense now. I don't look forward to the winter weather again as I know the pain in my thumbs will be bad again. But nothing will get me to take Tramadol again. I don't feel like I was "addicted" to it, just didn't realize my body had become so affected by it other than the pain relief.
Avatar n tn Less commonly reported side effects include itching, sweating, dry mouth, diarrhea, rash, visual disturbances, and vertigo. Some patients who received tramadol have reported seizures. Abrupt withdrawal of tramadol may result in anxiety, sweating, insomnia, rigors, pain, nausea, diarrhea, tremors, and hallucinations.
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 do think you should go on an SSRI antidepressant for at least a few months to cover the SSRI effects of the tramadol, But it does get better and better every day, so please don’t give up.

Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 24 year old registered nurse, and I have read all of these postings and researched tramadol, and have realized that I am addicted to it. I have recently been experiencing dizziness, a feeling like I'm coming out of my skin, diarrhea and nausea. I never would have believed it was tramadol withdrawal. I just took my normal dose of it, and my symptoms are gone, I'm taking that as a big sign of addiction.
Avatar m tn side effects of tramadol ? I do experience: lots sweatings, I"m very angry, nervous, unhappy,..etc always like this unless I take at least 1/day, then I'm normal in a good or "ok" mood!!

Avatar f tn I found this on Wiki and it does say it is and opiod and also says this - Tramadol is associated with the development of physical dependence and a severe withdrawal syndrome.[59] Tramadol causes typical opiate-like withdrawal symptoms as well as atypical withdrawal symptoms including seizures. The atypical withdrawal symptoms are probably related to tramadol's effect on serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake.

Avatar f tn Dear SSgt_Best_Girl: It is stated in the medication drug label that: "withdrawal symptoms may occur if tramadol (hydrochloride) is discontinued abruptly". Reference:http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=ae7c54b1-b440-4cca-97e8-e5b825413d32#nlm34070-3 The withdrawals symptoms may include: anxiety, sweating, tremors, insomnia, etc. Thus, it is important to taper tramadol dosage down to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Avatar f tn 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.
