Okay so anyways todays day 8 of going through norco withdrawals,and I actually felt normal again when I awoke,but still a little depressed. So I was prescribed like 14 tramadol to help with my norco withdrawals which I took on days 2 and 3 and hadnt taken any since. So today day 8 feeling depressed I took 1- 50 hcl tramadol pill- im not sure if it helped or not,its not like taking a norco and you feel it. Would of taking this one pill on day 8 effect my withdrawal process. I threw the other like 7 tram down the toilet. I just hope I wake up tomorrow still getting better and better?
 
I just went through pretty much the same thing. A couple weeks ago I got off using either .3g of H/day or ~150mg/day hydro. Tramadol did not extend the withdrawal by any significant amount. I was taking between 100-200mg of tramadol a day for the first few days of WD and it helped but the SNRI properties of the tramadol made me feel even more strung out at times, almost like the tail end of a trip if that makes sense. I was also using clonazepam to sleep at night and eating a lot of loperamide, like 30-50mg a day - I don't care what anyone says, lope in high doses does absolute wonders for WDs.
 
Haha well i was taking klonapin too.but havent taken any since yesterday just feel like jello when I do. As far a Lopera---- I think thats immodium if I remember I cant take it due to a bowel resection for some reason even a small dose turns the shit in my intestines into rock, I couldnt shit for one month after using immodium lol. Anyways heres to hoping the tramadol didnt effect my brain chemistry to much, and I still continue to improve. I hear there pretty weak like maybe half a vic or something. I mean i only took 1 pill(was worthless anyways)maybe its the caffine i drank today thats making me feel kinda weird.
 
Damn, not shitting for a month is terrible! I found that after taking it (even in high doses) for a few days, I had no trouble with constipation. Going like 24 hours without it and the opiate WD acts as a natural laxative.

Tramadol is a very weak μ-opioid receptor agonist, induces serotonin release, and inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine. It is very different from your classic opiates but some people enjoy it. I stay far away from caffeine when I am going through withdrawals as it makes me feel so much worse.
 
K thx bud for the replies,Im not gonna sweat it,just was feeling weird there for a bit. I smoke bud too, so I prolly had a coffee crash while high and thought oh shit im acute again lol or something. yeah but it feels so freaking good to be free from the norcos I was on about 120mg a day for year.this last week was a doozy.I mean im not free day 8 aint free but at least I aint stck in bed cold n sweating watching minutes roll by like hours. take care

@coolguy55:

Hey man, take it from me who like you started the insanity with norco. You do not want any part of this game, trust me. It only leads to climbing the ladder with stronger and stronger opiates until youre strung out on heroin. I really hope you can successfully stay away from the pain killers because it is an insidious and relentless enemy. Good luck bro, PM me if you need any help.
 
thx bigdirty ,yeah my doctor prescribed me fentanyl 25mcg/hr because he doesnt prescribe norco long term, And I tried the patch as prescribed but didnt get much from it and was to much of a pussy or to wise to eat the damn thing for the high so I told him I dont want the fent and he said well im not doing the norcs so I said I guess give me some norcos to taper then,which he did which were gone in a few days,cuz I dont taper. But It does feel nice to feel like I did on norco without being on norco if that makes sense.
 
^^ Very true. I started climbing that latter and it stops being fun pretty fast, once you are spending all your money on opiates just so you don't get sick. If only opiates were legal and weren't so damn expensive I am pretty sure being a functioning addict would be easy. The vast majority of the problems associated with opiate addiction is the ever-growing cost of feeding the addiction, the lying and other shit people do to get money when they are sick and need to score and the hassle of scoring itself.

Imagine if you could grab a bottle of norcos from the store for $5. Perhaps this would be a terrible thing and cause a giant increase in addiction, or maybe it would work. If alcohol is legal then opiates (at least the soft ones like hydrocodone) might as well be legal.
 
HaHA if that was the case I dont think the drugstores could keep there shelves stocked fast enough I pray that never happens ! but one of my old best friends is so strung out now I would go to his house to get some pills if I was out before my script was fillable. And he was always showing me his bags of heroin tempting me, I would just say get that shit out of my face bro and get me some percs or something. But were at odds now last time I ran him around for 2 hours going here n there for norcs,until he says okay this guys coming by in 15 min with norcs only to get to his house and say ahh im going to go get something else,cuz I was trading him drug for drug after Id giving him some sht for free. Fking douche. He used to be cool when he didnt get caught up in all that stuff, no offense to any users but now his house is full of leechers and dope fiends,mirrors with meth,heroin needles,pills booze. What happen to my friend. I hope he lives to see tomorrow.
 
That sounds like the normal progression, unfortunately. If you can get out at the point of hydrocodone, youre achieving a small miracle.
 
Yeah so it's day 9 feel damn good but tired,so to awnser my own question the 1 tram didnt effect withdrawals at all,think most of that stuffs out of me now. Now I just need to not want to feel the feeling or urge to use again, Ill just smoke my ounce of bud,and be happy I overcame. 2nd times a charm ;)
