tramadol withdrawl

[Mommyof2boys89]

Has anyone on here succesfully come off and stayed off tramadol? If so how long did it take for you to feel "normal" again? When does the energy come back? Im 25 with 2 small boys and a husband and it kills me that I fell like I cant do a damn thing without those horrible little pills that are now running my life!!! Im coming off a 400mg daily dose which was being taken for back pain over the last year but my tolerance built up very fast and i was needing more and more to get the same effect! Im also taking lopremide for the withdrawls and i must say the wd are nothing like the hell i went through last nov going cold turkey so i know for a fact that it is working. I just want to know when will the "normalness" return!? I wish i never ever found this horrible drug and my dr. Is an *** so i doubt she will do anything. After all she was the one who told me these were non addictive

Your so welcome!! And yes the physical withdrawals were h*ll, as I'm sure you know. But the mental withdrawals, oh boy, that's a whole other ball game! I promise you they do get better, for a little while they may come in waves, fine one day, then the next not so much, but that to will eventually get better. So proud of you for wanting your life back. Stay strong and don't give up the fight!!

I know exactly what you are going through, i was doing the EXACT same thing i always new how many i had and would take them everywhere with me!!! I have been taking larger amounts of the immodium then recommended i seen it on other forums and it does help your mood alot but you only take it for a few days. Today is my last day taking the higher amounts of it and im just scared im gonna feel extremley depressed when im not taking them!!! bBUT  WE CAN DO THIS!!! OUR BABIES ARE SOOO WORTH THIS!! we will get back to the normal us and it is sooo very comforting to know there IS an end to this, the light at the end of the tunnel if you will lol we just have to get there with eachothers help and support I will hold ur hand if you hold mine!!!! :)

Thank you so much for you input it means SOOO MUCH to me!!! Thank you!!!

I am brand new also to this also and Iam also doing this with NOBODY knowing about it other than my doctor. I walk around w my dirty little secret.  I had my last Tramadol 12 days ago and it hasn't been easy. I think the hardest thing for me has been the mental addiction.  I carried them around in my purse, always knew how many I had etc. it's wonderful your having little withdrawl!!! I am still having some stomach issues but nothing Immodium doesn't help. My biggest issue is missing my good mood, it never made me high, just felt normal.

Hey there!! Yes, I was addicted to tramadol for years, I quit cold turkey, and have been clean for a little over 6 years. It's hard to say when your "normal" will return. Some say 6 months others up to two years, I guess it just depends on how much you took and for how long. I know mine took a while, I was taking between 50-60 of the 50mg pills per day. It will take some time for your brain to rewire and heal itself. I know exactly what your going through, please don't give up, you will be you again before you know it. You just hang in there and post here as often as you need to, the folks on here are great. You take care!!!

Im new to this forum thing so if you want you can private message me and i can tell you what has been working extremly well for me to where i am experiancing little to almost no withdrawls!!! I will pray for you to get through this i have no support from family i am too ashamed to tell them what im goimg through out of fear they will think im an addict :(

[Mommyof2boys89]

How long have you been clean? Are you still going through thee wd?

You wrote almost exactly what Iam going thru. Iam extremely frustrated w not having the energy and good mood that Ism used to having w Tramadol. I have two kids and feel horrible that I don't seem to be the fun mom I was. I have been on this site a few days and have read lots of success stories. Many have said the energy is the last thing to come back, just sooooo frustrating I know.
