Title: tramadol withdrawals?
Post by: qrbr6 on May 06, 2013, 10:40 am
Will I need to wean myself off of tramadol? I've been taking 200mg a night for 3 to 4 weeks. Should I do 100mg for a week? I didn't mean to take it this long but I couldn't sleep some nights and it seemed like a great remedy. I didn't take it a week ago and woke up tired and stiff the next day.

With that kinda dosing I would think you will definitely have to taper off it.

I would encourage you to do it asap. Tramadol addiction is properly grim and if you have a long-ish term situation the withdrawals can be horrendous, so nipping it in the bud at the earliest opportunity is your best bet friend.

It's an odd one as Tram can appear a bit of a miracle drug at first for many but then tends to bite you on the arse - hard.

id do 100 first week see how ya go and then 50mg next week but making sure you have enough to have some for the following week in one day on 50mg one day off, depending on any withdrawals. the most important thing is not to run out of it before you are completely detoxed
