To whom it may Concern
I joined here 13 Sep 2008. I was taking 13 Tramadol per day then. Tomorrow is my first day of 6 per day! I'm getting headaches almost every day now. I bare it with the help of a few Aleve. My withdrawals going from 8-7 seemed to be mild, it seemed to take longer for them to come than any drop so far, they kinda creeped up on me. It was a couple days after I dropped before I noticed being more tired, and just feeling off. It seems the lower I go, the more mental energy I gain, and physical energy, I lose. A little anxiety here and there, but I can't say I get depression. Anyone I know would say I am far from a depressed person. The brain zaps get a little crazy here and there, but I don't think those are that bad, I like them. But ALL the Hard part is yet to come. But it is hard enough for now trying to bring this old Horse to a stop, much less Hop Off! He's slowing down though, and I'm getting closer and closer every week. I am Happy I am at 6 per day now, but I am not happy with how hard my next work week will be for me. Each week gets harder and harder. Wish me luck guys, Ima need it!
what is some good stuff to buy? I have no knowledge on that stuff. I'm going to go to GNC, but have no idea what exactly I need.
vitamins are fine a B 6 B12 magnesium calcium supplement now as well .Hold off on the ltyro and the 5hpt .Get your self down farther then add a small amount in at a time you are not quite low enough yet .
yes but you just have to be very careful .... because of the serotonin syndrome risk.
I so remember when I got down to like 3 pills I would cry almost all of the time and I was very depressed .

ahá, i got it now, thanks :)
i was thinking also in his work so they can help him for the physical part too as you say for avoiding the plunge down

he needs to be closer to getting off of the tram when he is if he takes small doses it will keep levesl from taking such a big plunge down.
maybe, avisg, he'd better wait until the last dose of trams for the ltyrosine and 5htp, you're saying this ?
you're showing a lot of strengh with the best of attitudes and you gonna do it well, pan !
pan ,
be very careful with the ltyro and the 5 hpt. I know you are on a lot lower on a tram dose now but you don't want to run the risk of serotonin syndrome. I would keep your doses small then you can bring them up as your tram levels go down.

Halves sound good. I was going to see how this week goes, and if it's not too bad, go to 5 next Saturday, Then start with the halves. Besides at 5...1/2 pill would be exactly 10%. Sounds perfect. But I have to see how this week goes, if it goes rough, I'll go to 5.5 next Saturday instead. I think I need to go to GNC and get those Amino Acids and Vitamins Today though. That might be a good idea to start now. Thanks again for the advise Worried and avisg!
also..if u have someone u trust to hold ur pills..it may be a good idea now that u r getting down to the nitty gritty
pan you might want to start to go down in halfs now .its going to start getting a bit harder. Your wd is starting to get more diffcult now is a good time.
Yea, I can't wait to be Free and Clean again. 6 Per Day...WoooHooo! I have a long ways to go yet, But I'm doing it. It is taking a LOT of self control though. Of course I have access to all the Tramadol I want, which is what makes it hard. But I fight the urges and just keep coming down. I'm wondering what level of withdrawals I'll have this week. If not too bad, I'm dropping to 5 next Saturday. So I hope it all goes OK. I will admit that dropping from 13 to 6 in Five weeks has been difficult, to say the least.
I am coming off Tramadol as well and went cold turkey a few months back could not take it so I started using again. Now I'm Tappering off from about 16 a day down to 7 and I can't wait to finally put this **** behind me.
luck is with u and blowing it ur way..u r hangin in there and i can tell u really want this..that is all it takes..to really, really want it..u got it made...keep on going
