I’m experiencing a strange and inconvenient reaction to very short term tramadol use.

relevant facts:
- previous history of opiate addiction but clean for a couple years
- Leave for Hawaii on vacation on Wednesday
- Had procedure done on shoulder on Tuesday night and was given tramadol as I knew I wouldn’t be able to handle the craving/fiending from oxy
- Took tramadol Tuesday through Friday, Friday was highest daily dose of 700mg. Yes I know of seizure risk about 400
- Also taking very low dose Librium that I have for GI issu
so I took nothing Saturday and started to feel some mild wd symptoms ( opiate not snri) last night. Slept well but woke up with mild chill, some gi distress, and mild RLS. I took tramadol about noon today ( so nearly 48 hours after last dose) as im a bit of a baby but I don’t want to be withdrawling while away with the family. I have tramadol left but am wondering if just not taking anymore and dealing with likely light WD is smartest or if a quick taper is best. I’m not sure if anyone had any experience with physical dependence starting after such a short time period and if wd symptoms persisted despite short duration of use.
