I'm planning on staying off. I did the intake today for a day program and called my therapist to schedule some appointments. I know looking for quick fire to withdrawals is not going to happen.  I have no support here from my husband and I don't want to be sick for a long time because I have small children. I am tired of pills always being on my mind. the so I have enough or trying to keep the doctor and pharmacies straight. j just wanted all the lies and pills to be over and I want to know who I am ...the me before the pills

That's okay. I wasn't sure if I could be clear...lol

Part of the horrible detox from Tramadol is due to the antidepressant component. It's always better to taper from it to avoid these wd's. There's a small seizure risk with abrupt withdrawal, as well.

The Lortab may take the edge off of the Tramadol detox, I just don't know. Are you planning on staying off or just waiting until you can replace the ones your husband found?

You are shooting yourself in the foot...lortab are just as addictive as trams.
And yeah, things will probably bump up a notch once you have no meds to feed your addiction.
If you have access to pills, any kind, then you will go through this hell and end up relapsing. You need to get rid of the meds and put a recovery plan together; then buckle up for a bumpy ride.

Could you write that more clearly?  You're taking Lortab instead of Tramadol?
When did you last take Tramadol?
