quitting tramadol
« on: February 01, 2010, 02:44:24 PM »
I've been kind of misusing my tramadol pills. Instead of taking them as directed 2*100mg/day i've been taking more like 400-800mg some days and some days none at all. This makes my mood go a bit up and down, and i've decided to quit. I could start taking them as directed by my doctor of course, but they really don't do much good (I have tried that) anyway after a couple of weeks. You just get dependent. I have agreed with my doctor that i should not take these so much anymore. And this is my withdrawal plan:

1st week: 2 pills/ day
2nd week: 1 pill/day
3rd week: I'm done with these pills.

i just wanted to post this to help mysewlf go through with it.

Any tips from ppl who have gone through tramadol withdrawal are welcome.

Cheers :)

I don't have much experience w/ opioids but I do know the w/d from them can be pretty harsh.  Take it easy.  Perhaps taper down in smaller increments.  Do you notice any w/d symptoms on days you take 200mg/day vs when you take 4-8?  Please discuss this w/ your doctor and take any advice you get from here with a grain of salt.
