Tramadol Update

[tramhamilton]

Thanks for caring, I have not had any tram since the day i posted which was 09/13/2010. I got some clonidine .02mg that i take twice a day. The clonidine is actually used for high blood pressure which i do have now from stopping the tram, but there is also some kind of chemical in the clonodine that helps you clear off your opiate receptors, therefore reducing and eliminating your craving for opiate like drugs. Best thing is a months supply only costs $11.00 without insurance. The only side effects i have had as of yet are loose stools, i am sleeping well, no headaches, chills or nausea either. So hopefully this is the end of the line for me. By the way everyone i had 2 grand mal seizures and was having small seizures almost every day and did not even know it.

Oh, I have been wondering about you!  I'm glad you are doing well.  At the dose you were on, it could have been AWFUL to withdrawal from without some clonidine.  I had that too, and it really helps.  BP going up during tram WD happens almost every time.  

Congrats on your clean time!  Get into some therapy or meetings so you never have to do this again!

Hi~  So it's been a week!  Good for you!!

Try some Immodium for the lingering GI symptoms...

Yes,seizures are almost a given at high doses...I'm glad you stopped the Tram!!

There are so many who have been sucked in by this drug...stick around and you'll see!!

Good luck with your continued recovery!
