Good to hear you made it. Cold turkey was 12 days for me, rapidly improving after 10 days.
Let's hope you don't slip back, but just in case you do I recommend kratom next time. I have quit tramadol 5 or 6 times and used kratom all but one of those.
It doesn't do this for everyone but for me it gets rid of 95%+ of withdrawal symptoms. It is magical.
When I mention it people always bring up the downsides of kratom, like that it can be addictive too as it isn't too different to opioids, but I just take it for 3-4 weeks tapering down after 2 weeks until I barely take any and and run out. Might need 400g or so, I don't remember.
To avoid seizures I take diazepam in first few days ,but cloneazepam will be just as good. Then I also find I need a half pill a few times when I feel anxious.
For the serotonin side I take 5-HTP pills when I feel down. But the kratom elevates mood so I don't need it much. St John's Wart should also help mood. I don't touch these for the first few days because of serotonin syndrome.
Kratom doesn't get me high, but it does put me in a better mood. I can function very well, but do get some brain zaps in the first 2 or 3 days, so I would quit just before the weekend so you are in good shape on Monday at work.
I just find that I get tired sometimes when in withdrawal. At night I take diphenhydramine or a similar antihistamine to help sleep. (Although I would actually replace that now with Stilux brand Rotundin, which feels cleaner e.g. not drowsy the next day and it might be plant based.)
Anyway, hopefully you don't need all this info, but I thought it could be useful for others facing it soon.
Everyone is unique but I think kratom will at least help somewhat. Not sure I would recommend it to people on much smaller doses of tramadol as then it might make you feel high.
Side note: tramadol withdrawals seem worse for some people compared to other opiates/opioids. For me they are nowhere near as bad as coming off heroin without tapering. Hearing multiple people say tramadol withdrawals are as bad as or worse gave me a false sense of security coming off heroin. They are completely different for me. Tapering down is the best preparation for either imho.
I am about to go into withdrawal for heroin tomorrow but had such a small amount that I have been tapering down naturally. Hopefully kratom will help, but it didn't seem to help (along with tramadol) with heroin when I stopped without tapering.
2g of tramadol per day is a big dose. I used to do 1.5g, sometimes a bit more (I knew my body couldn't take anymore. Even with an anticonvulsant). With kratom I could quit without much tapering. But it might cover 100% of withdrawals with a proper taper too. So that would be my recommendation.
