I'm just sitting here listening to quiet music and smoking a cigarette. Not feeling too good. I've cut my intake of Ultram 100mg to one a day for the last two days simply because I'm running low. I'm going to do a fast taper with the 5 I have left. My refill is due in about another 10 days but I'm hoping to have the moral and physical fibre not to go for it especially with the misery I'm feeling now. Head zaps are awful, tired and listless. If I get through this ....WHY?....I ask myself would I go for that refill. Dosent make sense!! Thanks for listening, you are all a brilliant bunch on this board and the reason I've even got this far from much, much higher doses. I've been doing a few chores to keep myself active today and will soon go for a 2 mile walk (3km I think..not sure).Keep in touch and pray for me love Neve
 
Hey Neve!!!!

How are you holding up honey??? A fast taper is really difficult to go thru! Been there and done that!!!! I am here for you though honey!

The Ultram Blues SUCK! I wish I would have NEVER even been prescribed that first darn pill. I am sure you feel the same way.

Well, you have 10 days until the next refill...... Maybe if you are fearful of not being able to not pick up the script, maybe if you found the strength you could call the pharmacy or Dr's office and tell them you don't want to take them anymore so please do not fill them from here on out unless a seperate injury or something occurs.

I hope you are hanging in there! Please let me know and know that I am thinking and praying for you!!!! You are not alone.

HUGS!
 
I used to take 200mg twice a day but that is not even close to helping me now. I am a sober alcoholic 8 years now and it is very hard to stop. I needed support and a program to change my life but here I am now taking strong medication for a spinal injury but I am having an operation at the end of the year and hope to be able to taper off my meRAB also That is if the surgery is successful. Even if it is partially successful I would like to reduce what I take so as to relieve some of the side effects. Good to hear you are having some success, I wish you luck with your recovery. Allan
 
hi Alan thanks for answering. I started Ultram 100mgms (sustained release) about 8 yrs ago for back pain. First I took it for pain, then I increased the dose from twice daily to a bit more now & again for the good feeeling I'd get. These days there is no good feeling....only fear of withdrawals. Cold turkey is for warriors, and I aint no warrior. The alternative is either a fast or slow taper where w/d's will vary. If you are thinking of coming off these at some future time...be prepared for some very unpleasantness!! I'm doing just barely o.k with this taper......I'm breaking up tablets in tin-foil ....feeling pretty miserable. I hope things are o.k for you & your sister Neve
 
thanks Secrets, you are always so sweet. I know instinctively that you are a real nice, decent person. I already have the 6month script, the only problem is the pharmacist, and I am thinking of going to a different one to get my supply a few days early as I am TOTALLY!! so.o.o miserable to myself & others, and I am so secretive-- I will NEVER! talk like this face to face with another person. Nuff about me.. how're you getting on. Yes.. the oul cravings must be awful. They, really are what jinxed me long after the W/D had abated. I am convinced that I just have an addictive personality. love you Sec BIG HUG...neve
 
Don't worry about me I have given up alcohol, pot, cigarettes, and have also gone off my meRAB to change to another. I got off the patches (very strong) and tried the tramadol but it didn't help me at all any more so I started a small does of Oxycontin before ending up at 2 x 40mg a day and I have to take other types of medication to assist in giving relief of severe pain and sciatica. So I have been there and done that. But it takes huge will power and lots of support. I could never do it without the help of doctors, Psychologists, family and frienRAB to get through it. But the rewarRAB at the end of it are great. It is so good not having to drink or smoke any longer. It is fantastic for your health.
