Update on 5th day of weaning

[angel44240]

Gosh I feel like a dang baby being breast fed or something!
I woke up at 2am this morning, feeling like I just jumped off a cliff! Felt as if I had pure ice running through my veins, my heart was racing like crazy, only to realize, 'I didn't take my 3rd half last night like I was supposed to' (because my body didn't adjust to that low of a dose just YET, and here I was trying to rush it!) DOI!
So, I took a 1/4, fell back to sleep, woke up around 7am to get the kids on the bus, and again- felt like garbage. So, I took a half (my first daily dose), around 11am and felt okay. I went from 11am this morning to 7:15pm without anymore, so I took a 1/4 instead of half. Geez.. I hope this works!
So, I'm taking a half before I go to bed this time.. :D.. So, that leaves me down from 1.5, to 1.25.. :D
I hope that when my final day comes up, I'll be okay with no heart racing, anxiety, veins feeling like they're ready to burst, etc etc.. yuck!
If anyone else out there is tapering from Tramadol, please let me know! I already know a few of you, so far.. Thanks for listening guys! Love you all! Blessings!

You will be fine, a little rough ride but you know its coming and you seem very strong.  

Hang in there, you'll be through it all soon.

thanks so much.. I know, and I can't believe I did that either! lol.. that's okay, because I got a nice rude wake-up call! HA!
It'll all be good though.. Once I go c/t I wonder what it'll be like! lol.. only to find out I guess.. Wish me luck! Blessings to you and yours!

You are doing so good on your taper. Even forgetting a dose tells you that you are gaining ground. I bet a month ago you would not have skipped! I am proud of you.
