Hello Everyone

I've been lurking these boarRAB for a while now. I'm addicted to Tramadol, I get them online so there is no problem getting them, paying for them etc. I've FINALLY gone from taking 4 or more 50 mg tabs per day down to 3.5! I cannot believe the effect that trammies have on the human body. I've smoked for 15 years, had no problem quitting that. I know I can do this taper as I have no choice. I'm a meraber of the armed forces so I'm required to do physical activity, stay in shape, run etc. If I go cold turkey, my body will give out. I've read posts about this and I've realized that the only thing that will get me through this is time. I've got plenty of that so I'm going to take this slow and I realized that I CAN do it. Anyone need to do it with me? I did realize that only I can do this for me. I also know that when I tried to just stop taking them, the withdrawls were the scariest and worst feelings I've ever had. Tapering is my only option. Also, because of my occupation, I can't tell anyone, not my husband, not my dr., nobody. That's why I came here and what a relief to know that I'm not alone.

Hello and WELCOME!

Tramadol...... What nasty little devils they are! Been there and done that one. I however was taking up to 16-50 mg tabs a day so if I can taper down completely off than I KNOW you can do it. That is a horrible 800 mgs total and I know there were days when I took more... I just know there were a couple that I just let slide by.

You are right, going thru the w/d's is horrible. I just was thinking this morning on my way to work when I was battling a horrible craving... "How many times have you gone thru w/d? Do you want to go thru it again?" First of all.... The worst part of that conversation with myself was that I seriously have no idea how many times I have put my body thru it. But the great part was that the answer to the question was NO. So, just know you can get to this place and far beyond.

Since you have been buying them online and you can get them when you want then I would just put a nice slow taper plan into effet so it does not interfere with your job. But.... be strict with yourself and set a deadline and stick to it. another meraber on the board always says to get yourself a calendar and write down everyday what your doses should be and stick to that calendar to a T.

We will help you thru this... I swear if I can taper down with only 30 pills left you certainly can do it with more!!!!! I have faith in you! Welcome to our group! Make yourself at home and post a lot. It helps!

Blessings and thank you for your service to our country! My family prays for all of you everyday! Stay safe and know you are appreciated.
 
wish u well onlyicdi. u sound like u have a great life 2 live for. Me? just cant seem 2 make that final break, sometimes I just wish my doctor would just pull the plug, & not Rx anymore. Ive got the trammies down a bit but every time something happens like ive a hangover, the cat died washing machine wont work or whatever I'm off upping the dose again. Now I have other medical problems 2 deal with. Sometimes I'm in dark despair.
Stick with this board , there r some wonderful people here. Best wishes & hugs onlyicdi Keep us posted we'll always be here
