I’m trying to come off tramadol after taking them for a back injury that happened at work. It’s horrific. Can’t sleep or sit still. Am out of my mind and emotional and I’ve only gone down to 4. These drugs should never be prescribed for long periods of time . The withdrawal symptoms are so scary. I feel derranged and not in control. I don’t know how I’m getting through this

[@1mandrywallarmytv144]

i hope you made it. I quit sunday daily alcohol abuse and tramadol abuse at 400-500mg ed. After 4 days of suffering i went dr whom prescribed me gabapentin. The gabapentin and clonadine saved me big time. it works.i slept last night for the first time in 5 nights.

[@jkwjcw3ify]

I have been on tramadol for 16 years three times a day 50 mg. I did wean myself down to two a day about 5 years ago and then I tried to go down to one a day but then I couldn't function with my pain. I feel that tramadol has been a lifesaver for me I broke my back and suffered permanent nerve damage, especially down my left leg and foot. I function pretty normally at least I've been able to work and live as a normal human being for the most part. I do not take it with food.

[@bordercollie1140]

What a really amazing attitude my friend. You should be so proud of yourself. I abused tramadol for 4 years, not for physical pain but mental. Far far from boasting I was taking 50 to 60, 50mg a day and was taking by ambulance to hospital twice, with my border collie saving me twice by alerting my family to the fact that I wasn't breathing. I did quit cold turkey which honestly was extremely difficult in a lot of ways. I personally wouldn't recommend this drug for mental reasons because although the first year or two left me floating in the clouds, the next two left completely withdrawn from life, not engaging with anybody and spending up to 23 hours a day in bed. Constipation was horrific, going about 8 or 9 days without passing stool, and I ended up using suppositories which is not pleasant to say the least. Off them six weeks now and can never say definitively I won't return, but I feel so much better now and my sleep is slowly returning to normal and have immensely more energy now. Drugs are bad, OK, 🤔. 😁.

On the other, it depends also on your weight -mine is 114 kg-. Other things to take into consideration: your age, the pain you feel, the kind of job you have, whether or not there is another way to relieve the pain or get rid of whatever is causing it, and your doctor's advice.

This video is very useful, thank you so much. I cant find decent info on tramadol and tolerance because the stories are all about 'addiction'. I know first hand there is a huge difference. I've been on 100mg slow release for 8 years - and yes, thats a long time, my body has built a tolerance but I am not mentally addicted to it. I want to and will stop but like you said the withdrawal is excruiating and I need a doctor to work with me to give me meds to make that period less of a hell. It really does help me the best with the pain, that is for sure as well, really shame about the withdrawal, otherwise for me, best medication ever. (have not tried weed, one day I hope)

Also some months I can't find it in any pharmacy so thats very stressful too. Wish you the best!

It's worse, it's different, then it gets better, then it doesn't, then it's true hell, then your brain takes over (or I'm guessing it does, also mentally - wow, I was not expecting such mental hell) but my expectation of 'tramadol is my forever best friend for pain' is so far turning out to be false. My body was addicted to it, so I gave it its poison, but it wanted more and more. Withdrawal is hell; I don't think I'll ever go back to using tramadol, unless really well controlled and for a short time or if I'm terminally ill tbh, this withdrawal HELL is not worth it.

San Jose Sharks ?!?!?! Bro are you in the Bay Area?!?! I am in san mateo. Your accent has me thinking UK 😂 are you just a major hockey fan, or are you living in California? The medicine topic is more crucial to the world's well-being than most people realize. I have grown poppies for a few years now, and consider it a tragedy that most people have been estranged from this great medicinal plant. Human beings in general may be more opium-dependant than is acknowledged. Poppies make a night and day difference in my ability to function in this body, and actually live more full/thorough days, do work, exercise, etc.... For years i regularly exercised and practiced discipline in various forms, without opium or any opiates (having steered away from such substances after high school). Never did i reach the same level of sustained health/function without poppies/opium that i experienced once i began growing and taking them. 🌷🌷🌷

I've been taking tramodol every day for 7 years due to chronic pain in my back and knee and never had any major problems. but for the last two weeks I've been suffering dizziness everyday from mild to so severe I can't go to work is this common after so long use and does it eventually go away I only take upto a max of 4 caps' a day

[@gaberoyalll]

hi Zed that is interesting. just a thought but its possible you got an extra strong batch, try lowering the dose 30% or so. with all the covid stuff lately ive heard of of some things like this because the companies are short handed ect.. anyway its worth a shot imo

[@donnarowe8016]

8 years, 200 mg a day, constipation my only side affect..

For the past 8 years, I’ve been taking 300 mg a day of Tramadol (2x150 capsule) because of a back injury. A lot of the pain is actually in my feet. I would not be able to teach for eight hours a day without this medication. Interesting thing I’ve noticed about tramadol is that it seems to have a bit of an antidepressant component to it. The main side effect for me is memory loss. I do worry about my liver, but I also need to have a life.

[@TheBoss14711]

Hi, I know its been almost a year since you posted this but I'm only 17 and been taking it for the past 4 years due to Chronic Pain and reading that you're also experienced memory loss was really good for me because I often worry that its all just me finding an excuse for not being able to do well in certain things

Tramodol is not the Answer guy's I have battled with it more than you. I'm epileptic and they, in thier selves. Cause the problem. I've had 3 surguries on both arm's but the "HIGH" dose "OPE'S" Made me feel drugged. I know Tram is a Synthetic but so is Methadone. It is a nerve block assistant. As well as a reciever transluciant. Meaning it blocks your mind from feeling pain and gives you energy. BUUUUT over time your heart can fail. Your prostate wont work and for females. Your G'UNIT will lose feeling.

Tramadol fucking sucks both medically and recreationally, dude go tell your doc that you're physically dependent on the tramadol and wanna get off, tell him you wanna try suboxone (even if you really don't need it because tramadol is so weak), this will be 1000 times better because bupenorphine is far more effective for pain, it doesn't cause seizures like tramadol does and it's a long lasting opioid that you can take like once every 30 hours. Or get some kratom, because that shit is still 20 times better for chronic pain than tramadol is and is also less likely to induce seizures, tramadol can cause seizures even in people who aren't prone to them. Get off this garbage it's a dirty drug and again ITS NOT EVEN GOOD FOR CHRONIC PAIN AT ALL, you have multiple other options right at your feet, options that will actually do something for your pain and have far less side effects.

[@katiemcneil7931]
