After 7 years battling facing the horrific withdrawal I finally did a 7 month long slow taper to 2mg and jumped december 25th. Since then I have touched no tramadol and have no want need or access to it anymore as I’ve cut off all people who I used to get it from. I am free it’s been about 3.5 months now and life’s turning back around I feel normal I feel like my serotonin is rebuilt I feel no cravings ever I am finally free I no longer have to hide this addiction and explain my shortage of cash to my spouse I have only become happier since quitting Ive even gotten about 10 lbs heavier I fit my clothes well and don’t look 120 lbs anymore at 6’2 I feel amazing.

Sorry if I posted in wrong section I just sat around thinking about my old posts on here and how I’m really living the dream I always dreamed about since 2015. I quit this drug completely and withdrawal didn’t kill me or ruin my life! Stay blessed appreciate all who have supported me over the years here you are beautiful ppl
 
Congrats.

I started tramadol in 2008. My mom was prescribed it and never used it. Back then she would get 180 pills a month since it was unscheduled and nobody batted an eye if you tried refill that 180 early. I was in love with the way it made me feel. Still have incredibly fond memories of those days.

I ended up going through tramadol withdrawal every month from about 2008 to 2018. Of course after a few years they started to catch on that tramadol was a narcotic (gee, I wonder how they missed that for 30 years) and they started lowering the amount my mom could get. By 2015 I was playing with heroin & my DOC's became tramadol & heroin. My entire life centered around when I'd get that next tramadol script filled. I'd even feel like I was going to kill myself when the pharmacy/doc's would fuck around.

I realized it was unsustainable and started using buprenorphiine. Then my mom died in 2021 and of course I had no way to get my monthly pills anymore.
Unfortunately I do miss it (and heroin), even after a few years on shitty buprenorphine.

I put on 25lbs (I actually miss the anorexic effect of tramadol). Buprenorphine makes me crave garbage food alot.

I don't think I'll ever break free from my opioid bondage. In some ways I'm okay with that because I like them, but in another way I don't like it because it's impossible to get a sustainable amount of access to them, unless you get on bupe/methadone or risk dying from fent in the street, If they weren't illegal, I might actually be able to utilize them for mental health purposes.



Alas, I think it's great when somebody comes off of an opioid & has no cravings or desire to return them. Props!
