Not sure if this is more to help me or someone else.
I was on tramadol every single
Day for two years. Instantly addicted. Body became immune so I ended up on 8 a day most days.
Nearly three weeks ago I decided enough was enough and I'm not allowing this medication to rule my life anymore. Not that I knew it would in the first place! I've tapered myself off over the last 2 weeks, to now be on my fourth day with none.
I know it's early days. But I think the way I did it taking less and less and then slow release to then none. I've not looked back since. And I'm proud of myself. I use to panick if I ran out. As I knew I was taking more than my recommended dosage!
If anyone is in the same boat and wants to come off them. You can do it.
My withdrawal symptoms have been very mild compared to what I thought. Although I had restlessness, upset stomach and extremely tired.
Pushed through it now I'm starting to feel better. I am hoping bad withdrawals don't just jump out of no where the next couple days. I'm hoping it's just ok from here as I assume they'd of been bad bad by now. Not sure the point in this post I think I'm just really happy with myself for kicking it. I have no regret stopping and have no intention or feeling of wanting to go back. Ever again. What a dependency they were.
