finally after 6 month taper now two days of no tramadol. Was taking 100 mg daily of slow.   Release. So slowly reduced by breaking tabs in half then quarters.  Then eights etc until just taking crumbs twice a day. Still experiencing muscle and joint pain and some anxiety when. I wake up but can cope. With it. I will have to live with back pain from prolapsed disc but so glad to be off it. My GP offered another opiate based pain killer asa substitute ,  they just don't get it do they. Incidentally did. You know tramadol. Is implicated in alzimers type mental degeneration, as are other ssri's.

    Hi that's so good that you are off tramadol 

    All the effort I put in to stopping 

    Is starting to pay off

    I was on 400ml daily for 4 years 

    But after 9 months of cutting down I am tramadol free 

    For 17 days now

    And I am feeling better by the day

    well done it's a amazing achievement
