Addicted to tramadol/oxy. First time

I have been taking about 8 tramadol and a few oxy the last year and tomorrow is my first day with nothing. I'm ready to beat this. I have all the Thomas recipe suggestions minus the benzos. Any suggestions? I'm real nervous. Terrified actually.

Have you looked up lopeamide for withdrawal? I was addicted to tramadol for 3 years and have been off for 4 months using the lope to help kick withdrawal symptoms. You have to use more than the recommended dose I would take about 10 2mg tablets every 12 hrs for 3 days. It will help with the restlessness and sleep. Keep In mind I'm not a dr. This is my own experience. It worked for me but everyone is different. I'm here if you need anymore advice or just need support!

Whew, yes...cold turkey is hard, but doable.  Thomas Recipe is a great start.  I did it without the benzos as well..who needs another thing to detox from?  The tramadol may be your hardest one to deal with.  It works   a little differently than oxy, etc.  I hope other who are more familiar with it will chime in.  Weekends can be slow..hopefully they will be here soon.  Keep close to the board.  It will help.
