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.
Hi all! I just wrote an essay an it disappeared!
I was just saying stay strong all,you are all doing amazing you really are!
A couple of people have mentioned propranolol, it seems too work for some.Worth a try!
Tramadol i think you maybe through the worst as your dose was not very high.
I will say this,i rewarded myself after a week by taking 3 tablets,i thought id have the old feelings back,how wrong was i,quilt,super anxiety were the main, but it wasnt a nice experience at all!
Stay strong all! You have GOT this!

Hi all!
From what i have read on rhe boards it seems as alot of us really struggle with the mental side of things.You are definitely not on your own,i still have off days.I too took for a long time,i think in all honesty i was taking for the mental side of things as well as pain.They numb great do they not.
Living without the crutch is how we have to live our lives now.
You are both doing amazing! You really are.It WILL get better!! Stay strong troops!

Hi Kittycat, you sound like you have it all in hand ????.
You will have lots of thoughts ie if i just have a couple..its the drug trying to trick you! 100 %
Evil little creatures they are.
Good luck going forward kittycat,i hope you enjoy your days away!!
Remember to stay strong, you GOT this!
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi kittycat,the more you can get into your body,ie water,food ect will help.
Also there are few antihistamines that may help with anxiety ect,make sure you not allergic first though,as i gave someone that info and it hurt more than helped,so be super careful.
Immodium will be good for you too i expect.
Exersise is also very helpful,however be careful because of your back problems.
You can DO this you really can!
Stay strong!!

Hi Kittycat,super well done for getting too day 8! You should be at the height of feelings atm.You really have got too stay strong now,as the drug will try every trick in the book to make you take them again.Lieing to you also.
You really have done amazing getting this far.
As alot have said,the emotional and psychological side of things are hard,just take an hour at a time if needed.
Just holla if you find yourself slipping,i will pop back in and see how you’re doing.
As will someone else i expect!
Stay strong ???????? ????????????????????????????????????????

Hi Vince
It is not nice not bieng in control of yourself like that.
Do you drink? If so,that would be my first point of action. Stop the alcohol and the Charles will or should be alot easier.Also you will find your old “sesh” buddies are really not your friends at all.Unless they support you 100%.
New lifestyle it will require,but it will be alot better lifestyle.
Good luck with your journey Vince! Stay strong my friend.

Hi all! Hope this finds you all ok.
Just popping in to see how things have progressed in this place.Not alot by the looks,which i think is good news,nobody needs the help at the moment. Food all round.
If there are any of you thinking of quitting, please shout or holla,it can be a very lonely place but very rewarding!
Good luck all and those who need it,stay strong
