Tramadol

I am at 5 Trams per day now!  So far so good.  But this is only my second day of 5 per day.  I don't see any bad withdrawals coming though.  Wow, 5 per day.  So much better than 15-20 a day I used to take, not so long ago.  I'm getting closer and closer!  13 Sep 2008, I was at 13 per day.  A month before that, 15-20 per day.  If I can taper off Tramadol 1 pill per week, anyone can.  If someone wanted to quit that is.  My withdrawals have been Mild at best.  If I went 1/2 pill per week, I probably would have had ZERO withdrawals up to now.  I hardly got any dropping 1 pill per week.  But lets see how the last 5 go down.  Still have the hardest part to come.  But I am ready for it!

I take 5  every morning today I had a withdrawl it was bad , my whole body ached I didn't have anymore well my roomate got me somemore couldn't wait to come home from work to take them 30 min later the aching was gone, I know I got to stop but having a real hard time with it, it gives me energy and it does curb my appetite. Does that do that for any of you?

Hi there!  That's totally awesome!  I can't even image how great you feel!  I'm in a similar boat as you (started at a day, now down to 1 1/2.  Now it's starting to get scary....I also have our semester passing exams next week (I'm in medical school), so I might stay at 1 and 1/2 or 1 until it's over.  Keep up the awesome work!  Maybe we can encourage eachother as we make the scary journey to zero pills?  :-)
