Is this abnormal?

First off I would like to thank map1944. He really has been a life saver for me and he has kept me laughing and I cannot stress how important this on. Ok my addiction to tramadol would probably be considered very heavy, my tolerance had gotten so high that I had to take a ton to stop my shoulder from hurting. Im now on day 10 of detox and yes my legs and every other part of my body has hurt so so bad; however, I have had no stomach problems, no nausea or vomiting, my energy has actually gotten much better since day 4 and as of right now I am honestly happier than I have ever been. I'm smiling and just enjoying spending time with my family. Is it weird that I have just skipped over some of the physical problems of withdrawal?

What are you talking about? Your post is confusing...

How high of a dose did you jump off on? If you jumped off at 2-4mg the symptoms do get worse come day 10-14. I have seen this first hand and experienced this myself.

The only way to get off this stuff without being bed ridden is to work down to 0.25mg a day. Start skipping every other day and then jump ship after a week of that, Even work to less then 0.25 to where its almost nothing over that week.

I love the inspiration story but it seems like allot of you are unemployed or have ample amounts of time off. As a Sr professional you can't jump out of everyone's sight for a week or disregard emails.

So far I feel pretty ****** overall, nothing worse then the flu. Hardest part at work is sitting in a chair for multiple hours and having to get up for meetings etc. My bones are very sore. I have an underling back injury which is where I feel the most bone pain. Knees would be second.

I would say the hardest part about this is the lack of motivation. I seem to just slide by at work and do minimal work but I think that's caused by knowing I will work extra hard the following week to make up for the un-productiveness.

Benz's and weed help allot in the evening, I already am prescribed 3mg a day of clonzapam for anxiety and a zoplaclone for sleep but have bumped the clonzapam dose to 6mg. and bumped up the zoplaclone allowing me a half decent sleep and way to get out of the pain for 7 hours a night.

Update soon.

Day 4 tomm.
