Hay there

First of all its nice to know i am not alone in tramadol hell i am still taking tramadol 15-25 tabs per day more if iIhave them. I have went cold turkey once before and it was the worst pain in the world (mentle torture) akes pains anxiety depression flu like symptoms it wwas horrendous i wish I could turn back time and never touched them. At 1st they made me feel like superwomen so full of energy iIwas the best feeling ever but now not so much. I am going to taper myself of them once again as i cannot live like this anymore.

I want tolive a life wwithout popping pill. They have taken over my life enough is enough please think hard bbefore taking this drug.

    It's just over two months now off tramadol, starting my 3rd month now and feel I have been left so damaged and still in PAWS The worst is the depression, bouts of crying and no energy to do much. Would like to go back to work, but there is no chance of that at the moment. I know protractive withdrawal can go on for up to two years, but it would be nice if my "Windows" would come now and a again, but haven't had any for the last few weeks. My nervous system is so damaged, and I know it will heal, so I just have to be patient 😭

    Doctors have no idea about PAWS and what your body/brain have to go through before healing comes. If it wasn't for doing lots of research I wouldn't of known either. Tramadol withdrawals are literally the same as antidepressant withdrawal as Trams suppress the same neurotransmitters that AD do, hence the same WD symptoms.

    So, lots of patience, being kind to myself and knowing one day I will be back to health, even if I to have to wait up to 2 years! I'm never taking another Pharmadevil Tramadol or any other Pharma pill again!

      I'm sor sorry to hear this, I so feel for you and know exactly what your going through! It's been 4 months off Tramadevil today, although, due to withdrawals, I took 2 X 50g capsules about 3 weeks ago and had a bad reaction, I started to have panic attacks and itched all over. After that experience I didn't take anymore. I'm still so in PAWS and the worst is the server depression and the chronic fatigue I'm left with, oh, and the weight gain! I'm so fed up and sometimes want to end it all! It's a catch 22 situation, I feel so depressed I can hardly do anything, but know I should do something towel better, but it's so hard and no one understands ??

      I think, even with a slow taper off this drug, you still have withdrawals if you have been using this drug for a while. I know we are all different, but the amount of stories I have heard says otherwise!

      Please let me know what the doctor says, although I know from experience they have no clue how this drug effects people or how to get you off it!

      i wish you well and am here for you ????????
