    Hi I have never heard of effervescent tramadol 

    But if they are 50 mg I should imagine they are the same 

    I have been tramadol free for 15 days now it's taken me 9 months to ween myself off of these pills

    After being on 8 a day for 4 years

    I would not take them again ever

    I am feeling better by the day

    I am still in pain with my arm 

    But I take paracetamol when needed 

    I can't believe how much better I feel 

    They make you so ill trying to come off them the withdrawals are horrendous 

    But I persevered and it's a great feeling

      On them a year down to 50 mg per day I know it's very hard and my doctor hasn't a clue asked in my local chemist for the liquid suspension told me not available in Ireland where I live but suggested the effervescent,next stop doctor to get a prescription as I will be able to cut the tab into quarters hopefully will work as I would love to be my old self even with pain double si joint disfunction and 3 bulging discs.Thank for answering my questions best of luck😃

      Hello Lorraine,

      I have been on Tramadol for years now,tried to come off then two years ago by cutting down from three a day to two for a few months then slpit the second in half, that was ok, then took just one a day.

      I could not sleep for restless legs and whole body movements,at first i wondered what was wrong with me,then realized it was the Tramadol ,after two weeks of this i started taking the second capsule again and the restless feeling stopped,

      I am still on two a day.

      What method did you use to ween yourself off 

      .regards

      Andrew

      Hi

      It took me 9 months to ween myself off of tramadol 

      I did it really slowly and I must admit it's been over 2 weeks since I took my last one

      I just cut one out every 4/6 weeks and when I was in the last one a day that took me a awhile 

      To come off

      As I was frightened of the withdrawals 

      But I think if you really want to stop them

      You will in the end

      I feel so different as the days are going on stronger by the day

      I am still in sevre pain but I just take paracetamol when needed 

      It's hard to explain how hard it is to come off those pain killers 

      Unless you have been on them it's hard to understand 

      I wish you luck just take it slowly 

      And you will know when the times right

    I live in the States . You would be amazed of how few physicians were unaware of the addictive nature of tramadol . My Family Dr. prescribed tramadol in place of OxyCodone because they thought the oxycodones were MORE addictive . I went to an orthopedic Surgeon who allowed me to stay on them because i feared the tramadol was way more addictive after reading all the horror stories in this patient sight .

    I have been taking oxycodone 7.5 mg. 325 acetaminophen for 4 years and managed to control my usage  and once in a while stop taking them to allow my body to be receptive to the meds . Yes it is painful when my back starts to act up and yes my back starts to spasm and have aching pain but it is worth it when i go back on my regimen for a few months also i have started taking Naproxen 500mg half in the AM half in the PM . So if you are worried about the pain factor consult your Physician . You may want to start on the naproxen first . i have seen really good results with it . And you dont want more then what is prescribed it will cook your liver .Good luck friends in pain on the other side of the pond .
