Tramadol withdrawal hell

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi all, so im currently on day 6 of no tramadol. I have taken it off and on for a few years due to pain but then after a slipped disc and nerve pain i had started taking it everyday 2 x 50mg 3 times a day for two weeks. I noticed my pain had reduced so stopped taking it. the next day withdrawals hit me hard, flu symptoms, anxiety, no appetite, bad tummy, peeing constantly, insomnia.

Anyway im on day 6 of none and my anxiety is so severe as are low moods and fatigue.

I suppose im just looking for support and reassurance cause I feel like this will never end. I take sertraline also 50mg per day.

    I have been on this pill for years now,only once i tried to cut down from 3 a day to 2,then 1 and a half. Stopped the half and was on one a day,,and as you said all the symptoms you had ,i had and restless body,,worse than just restless legs.

    I started taking the second pill again after two weeks of torture,and i am back to being calm again.

    The worst pill any doctor could put you on.

      if you visit a drug clinic due to addiction to tramadol most wont do a reduction programme they actually substitute it with methadone thats how bad they are makes them as bad as heroin in my opinion

      agree with you completely. I saw a different doctor today for help with the withdrawals and even he said it's an awful medication. so sorry you are struggling also

    day 33...i can honestly say the worst experience of my life. anxiety and panic attacks are still a massive part of my everyday. so much so iv now been put on sertraline (zoloft) 100mg so now to deal with the nightmare of these side effects. Darkest days ever.... 😢
