Has anyone successfully weaned off tramadol or

anything else?  I am currently trying to wean off of tramadol.  I have tried in the past and failed.  I'm actually starting to doubt wether or not it's even possible.  If anyone has done it and been successful, it might keep me focused and give me hope that, yes, it is possible.  If you have done it, how did you do it?

I have done it and it is doable. I was up to 5 pills a day. I tapered according to how my body felt, which was ususally about 1/4 of a pill a day and all in all it took about a month. You will still feel down even off of it but only for maybe a week or 2. There are some that are making it out to be terrible. No detox is fun, but if you can afford to go slow, you can do it in about a month--if you have your mind set on it. All things are possible with God.

Yes I am pregnant, a couple weeks ago I went c/t and it was hell so I'm back to trying to taper.  I have my pills.  I took 7 yesterday.  That's where I'm at.  Even with tapering I still have some w/d symptoms and I don't feel like doing anything!  When I first found out I was pregnant, I was taking around 22 a day so I've come a long way.  But, I'm running out of time now.  I'm 31 weeks pregnant.
No body knows about this so I don't have anyone to give my pills to.  When you successfully tapered, how did you do it?

Yes one time I tapered the other time I did not have enough pills.It was so much better when i tapered.WD was much milder I was able to do all my normal things it was rough but I did it . When I CT it was Hell .Are you Pregnant for some reason I thought you were?That would be a major reason to taper who has your pills and how many are you taking now
