Hi Tramadol, i did not realise you was taking every cple of hours,i am sorry for saying it is not a very high dose,because it is. It is going to take time for your body to remember what life before the pills was like.At the moment it is just craving the opiate.
I tapered down by one tablet a week for what seemed like forever,and i still had all the withdrawal symptoms(but not as much cravings) as a CT that i had done before, not as severe but there all the same.
It is going to take a few weeks at least.
I found the psychological side of things the worst.
I have said this before,but i will say it again.
Whats a cple of months compared to the rest of your life? A bit blunt an painfull but it is true.
Unfortunately we have to start from day 1 again if we relapse,so keep couting them days,it works!! One day at a time,or an hour at a time as was my case.
Stay strong troops!!
????????????????????????????????????????????????
You will get through this! Look at how far you have come already.
Look back at how many posts people have made, getting out the other side and being free from opiates,lots!
Stay strong all,another day done at t time!! If i can get to 5pm, i class it as another day clean.
