Tram-Ultram Question

[Ryan1979]

I have been using tramadols since Nov of last year, from 4-10 5 mg a day.  I started titrating down in july and and went ct three weeks ago from 3 pills a day, although I used a previous prescription of percocets I had laying around to get me through the first couple days (3-4 5mg/325 for 5 days).  I didn't really have many opiate like withdrawals, I basically slept the first day without taking percocets, and had mood swings and anxiety.  My question is, now that Im at day 15 of sobriety, how long does it take before I have a motivation for life again? I have every reason to be happy but I have to force myself just to get through the day.  I know that the drugs have cleared my system by now, but how long does it take before life seems worth living without the pills?

throw in some 5hpt it will help

Which aminos specifically?  I've been taking 3-4000mg of L-tyrosine, daily b complex, gnc megaman, and using melatonin to help sleep.  I purchased some magnesium yesterday since I read that it helps depression greatly, but all I could find was mag oxide, which isn't suppossed to work very well.  I'm a soldier so I get a fair amount of physical activity each day.

I guess the hardest part is even though Ive been completely honest with my spouse and she understands to a degree what I'm going through, I can tell it is bothering her and she is worried for me.

Do you exercise at all that really helps .If you are not on an anti depressant there are some supplements that can help Ltyrosine and 5 hpt ...Vit B magnesium and calcium .Things will get better by day 30 I bet you will be feeling great.

i had the same problem after quitting the tramadol. i was so depressed. check out the health pages here. the vitamins do help. i didn't know about the amino acids and asked the dr for an antidepressant. the AD do help but i wish i would of tried the aminos first.
congratulations and good luck to you.
