    Hi I feel what your going through..i was on 9 a day and tapered myself down I take the capsules with the powder in .. I now take a capsule apart and taking a third of the tramadol it's been so difficult ..i thought last night right that's it I won't take any more bit I got that restless eyes watering and with me tapering down got no energy at all .. I am hoping this no energy will go away soon ... but now am down to a third of one 50 mg the withdrawals are going to be mild ..with tramadol having opiate and with it having acting a anti depressant your brain is trying to get back to normal it is a horrible drug really hope you are tramadol free soon

    Hang in there . I was on two 50 mg tabs three times a day & over 2 weeks ago started tapering down by eliminating just one pill . It took  about 6 days for me to start feeling semi normal. I wanted to give my body time to adjust so after two weeks I’ve started another tapering by eliminating another tablet . I dread what’s to come but I know that it will pass once my body adjusts to the doseage change . The depression , restlessness , no energy and insomnia will pass in about 6-7 days which makes for a very long week but it will get better ! Hang in there ! I know you can do it ! If I can do it anyone can !wink Tale Care & let us know how you feel in about a week . 🙏🏻
