When to jump off tramdol

I went to a sub program wen I found out I was having a baby and at the time was on tram a... I stayed at 2 mg a day refued to go up for a year living in depression the whole time so I said enough but wen i Went to 1 mg I freak from all the horror story's that it be worse then herion withdrawl well I only been through tramdol and Ssri and opiate withdrawl and then both but needless to say I got back on the same thing that put me on sub in the first place tramdol it was there and I had been so depressed for so long I just down like 4 bad move I was gone from then one oh yeah you can still get high on a lil bit of sub I wish I just went off everything wen I got Prego sub isn't always the way to go for everyone but it did help me to know I can stop picking up pills and wen it comes to tramdol please only take if really needed there are people who need it for the right reason as you know from his story but don't listen to anyone!!! its higly addictive and if ur like me go hard wen you like something you will loss ur self in them fast ...till u see they are the problem I lived a year without I can't stand picking up this pill any longer I cry just knowing I'm taking it even if I'm tapering i have tapered down now I went from 10 pill a day to 5 dropping 50 mg a day it's hard you still feel some withdrawl but I have three beautiful kids one who is 1 year old and two 8 and 9 with a good hubby and mom and dad whole r in there 60ies I always try to make sure they are safe I'm so blessed already... It's hard to pray to God knowing he blessed me and I ****** up but I still look to him and I use to think taken tramdol would help me to talk care of family better but now I need them ? funny how thing can change !! Everyone here helping me through this!! I could never put them through this again I'm never going back I did it for a year I want a drug free head and feel life once again I want that glow for Xmas this year that feeling we use to get I remember don't you'll ? I been through it over 4 years now .. I felt like wen dose this end ... Now for me I hope my question is will I still be in bad withdrawl if I taper or will it ease some for me reacher then just jumping off at 4 a day cuz I'm getting impatient with the wait but doing my best to keep calm thank you for reading  blessings

Hang in there love. If u go and read my posts im 2 months clean from a 4+ years addiction taking up to 30 trams a day. I did do a pretty quick taper mostly because ive had several seizures in the past. Just kno it CAN be done and it WILL be unpleasant but well worth it in the end! Good luck and I kno it may feel hopeless right now but if u want it badly enough u will get it:) ive been thru many addictions in my 33 yrs and this was by far the most difficult to beat BUT when I was done I was done and ive had zero cravings since I stopped. Take care xoxoxo

Your thread was very difficult for me to follow. What I got was: you take Sub and just began to take Tramadol again and you take four of those a day?

If that's the case the Tramadol may not even be working because the Sub will cover all those pain receptors in your brain.

Whatever the case, you take a small amount of Tramadol and Sub. Stop one and taper off the other. The seizure risk with Tramadol generally occurs in higher doses. You'll have wd's but there's really no avoiding it.

Good luck-

Are you asking about jumping off subs or the tramadol? I don't know anything about the subs and I never took tramadol except for 3 from a demo pack the doc gave me. But I heard going cold turkey can cause severe seizures. Sorry I'm not a lot a help, lots of great ppl here. Someone will be along. God bless and good luck xox
