Hello,
Just thought I’d add my experience on here in the hope that it can help. For years I have been on a mixture of tramadol initially and then cocodamol, prescribed by the doctor and have tried several times to come off it unsuccessfully. The withdrawal symptoms were unbearable. I just started pregablin two weeks and 1 day ago, this has been the longest time off of cocodamol and I recommend it for people who also have pain but cannot bear to carry on with the hell of opiates. Without pregabalin I couldn’t function, sleep and had whole body tremors and my mind is racing because I’m trying cold turkey and it’s awful. I was previously on pregabalin about 10 years ago otherwise I would not have known of its existence. It’s amazing and even though I am feeling the painful muscle twitching when I have not taken any pregabalin, it’s fine after taking and it’s nothing in comparison to before. I hope this helps someone.
