Been On Tramadol For Over A Year

Ok so i have been on 100-400 mg of tramadol per day for over a year .. i recently been taking more and running out early. when i run out i start feeling withdrawls within 24 hrs of last dose. the achy ness chills sweats foggy absolutly no energy cant even.get out of bed. i went three days like this amd it only seem to get wprse then i found some more trams and havnt stopped again yet. scared to death of that withdrawls again. i want to be able to go without it but im wondering how long will the withdrawls last. seems like forever! I have two kids at home i need to keep up with so when im n bed they notice and it isnt ok. i need some advice and some optimism to help me kick this s***. also i feel severly depressed when i dont take it. :/ how long and how severe ?

Hi brandie,

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like your body has really been building up a tolerance to the tramadol for quite some time. This is just a theory but maybe if you were to switch to something else for about a week and switch back, your tolerance would've lowered enough to make the tramadol more effective.. However, I'd ultimately recommend discussing that with your doctor first if it even seems like a feasible option for you.

As far as the duration of withdrawals, I find that it that can vary from patient to patient and may last up to several weeks for some individuals and much less for others. But if you're just looking for more feedback from those with personal experience, then you may have better luck browsing through some of the related discussion threads here.

Have you talked with your doctor about trying any other treatment options in the meantime? Perhaps something to that can at least help alleviate the withdrawal symptoms till you're able to fill another script?
