Getting rid of physical dependancies!

RA282155435CN

I'm getting rid of physical addiction from tramadol again.

I switched from ~400mg/day to 150 today, zero w/d and I even still got high , Today I used Tilidine and I'm gonna use it to get off the trams it but have only 30x150mg of those. I'll give myself 2 more days to stabilize on 150mg tramadol after today then I'll make the full switch to tilidine. I just wanna get rid of the physical addiction of tramadol so I can stop using it daily. I have before, and I feel like doing it again for atleast a while. Concider it a "time-out" or something. hehe.

When I was addicted to them for ~a year @ 800mg/day, those were really the worst two weeks of my life. I was bedridden for two weeks, shivering, puking, sweating, having brain zaps and diarrhea, etc.

But I'm sure that if I get w/d's they'll be much much easier on me because I've been using less, and I have been taking these breaks from time to time and the w/ds are never that bad, so I kinda know already I'm gonna succeed The tilidine is a great help when I'm taking one of these breaks, it makes withdrawing so easy. I only have 29x150mg left though, but I'll probably get a refill before I run out. When I'm off the tramadol and only taking tilidine I can just stop taking it and I won't even feel the difference, it's amazing in that regard.

More importantly I'm gonna attempt to go to 0mg diazepam for the first time. I did a taper from ~300mg to 10mg successfully in only a few weeks time 6 months ago, that was not pretty.. But this time I'm gonna take it more slowly.

But when I got to 10 I just stopped. Now I'm gonna see if I'm finally ready. I'll be tapering at 2,5mg increments every two weeks. I feel ready.. But am I?

 

It sounds like you're going into this with a positive mindset. Try to hold on to that and quitting will be easier. All the best!

 

You can do it!!

 

Thanks for the best wishes.

Been neglecting it for a bit, because I did some acid last weekend. So I did "emergency" break off of tramadol. (2 days no tramadol before & after my trip), now I'm back @150. Making full switch to tilidine tomorrow. Should be easy.

Or you could say that I've been doing a good job, quitting those 4 days, to drop some 'cid, lol.

 

Today was my 2nd day @7.5mg, don't feel a difference. I'm hoping this doesn't change but I'm guessing it will. No pain no gain I guess.

 

Mild w/ds. Nothing too bad. Soon I'm dropping my dose again. (Fri or saturday.)
Ah btw, my phys. dependency to tramadol is gone. 150mg is pretty easy to kick vs 800mg

Gonna try a (few) beer(s) to see if that helps. At the very least it'll tickle my GABA receptor, in a good way.

 

This is turning out to be easier than I thought. I even forgot to take my valium this morning. Then I remembered, not because of w/ds. I just remembered I forgot to take it. Aw crap it's saturday. I was gonna go to 5mg today. Well, tomorrow then.

 

@5mg, how uncomfortable.

 

Insomnia sucks. Oh well, I'm making the best of it. I'm not only addicted to using drugs, but also to watching movies/series. So I'll use my sleepless nighttime for that, lol.

 

I love that you're making the best of your insomnia. :D What have you been watching?

 

Right now I'm watching house md (I had seen the last 2 seasons but never the first 6). Before that I watched: Game of thrones, Rome, Spartacus, Deadwood, The walking dead, Breaking bad, and some others I'm forgetting right now.

Last two movies I saw were "Shaun of the dead" (I hadn't seen it yet) and "get the gringo" (a comedy prison flick).
If I started listing more I'd be busy all day. :D

Today will be my last day @5mg, after that I'll have 10 days to stabilize on 2,5mg and then I'm ready to quit.

edit: oh by the way, recommendations for movies, or especially series are always welcome. Hehe.

 

Day 1 @2,5mg diazepam.

By the way I've picked up the tramadol again since I ran out of tilidine a couple of days ago. The tramadol relaxes me a little and keeps the w/ds to a minimum. I don't care if I have to take another tolerance break off of tramadol again after this (probably with w/ds). As long as I get off the benzos it's all worth it.

 

Third day @2,5mg diazepam. I slept 2 hours on average each night, but I got the feeling that my w/ds are starting to decrease. I have 7 more days to stay on this dose, and after that.. Well I'll have to wait and see what happens. I might go to zero sooner and then take 2,5mg every 2 days before I completely stop. Depends on howlong I'll feel the withdrawals from being on 2,5mg.

 

Tramadol - check
Benzos - check

Woot. :D
