I asked my GP for stronger pain killers and he has put me on Tramadol.The Dihydrocodeine I was taking has been removed from my repeat meds order list,so I am withdrawing by default.
I have no idea how things will go as I have had no tapering of the dihydrocodeine,I have tried to give it up countless times but the awful withdrawal symptoms drive me back.Hopefully the Tramadol will get me through.I know its addictive,but everything I have read says its not as addictive as codeine.
I am shit scared of how this is going to go.This is day one and so far so good,Has anyone else used Tramadol to get off codeine ?
I need all the help I can get, and you seem to be a very supportive bunch !
