Hydrocodone Withdrawl .. Tramadol will reset or help?

[sprockets2000]

I am just curious if taking tramadol will help with withdrawls or reset them? I had a plan of using tramadols for just 3 days, I am on day 9 right now and was planning to use 100mg every day for 3 days just to kind of help out however will this totally reset or hurt the withdrawl process?

Thanks!

It will reduce the withdrawal symptoms but will make them last longer. The same as using a very small amount of hydrocodone.

Thanks so if I stay to a set limit of 3 or 4 days of help not going over 200mg a day it should be benificial?

I wouldn't say beneficial. Basically if you can't stand the withdrawal symptoms then you can take a little bit of tramadol to help with the pain, but if it you aren't feeling that bad then try and do without so the withdrawal will end sooner.

Thanks thats kind of what I figured but it seemed impossible to find a definitive answer on google.

No problem. If you have any other questions just ask. If you are already on day nine I'd say you're well through the worst and can just tough it out. Kick the tramadol to the curb and embrace the sobriety. :D
Good Luck!

Like others said it will reduce the withdrawl symptoms but make it longer. I use lortab daily and at times when I can't I get these nasty withdrawls but I found that smoking weed helps and makes me feel better.

Yeah, at nine days you've probably got most of the acute WD stuff behind you. Hope you're successful. I recently started suboxone, and the clinic I go to offers tramadol as one of the "helper" drugs when it comes time to say bye to the subs.

personally it was like swallowing razor blades and salt.

At 9 days and beyond, you should basically be past the WD's, and just left with some insomnia and maybe some night sweats or mild nausea. You'd probably be better off with otc supplements for that. Nyquil and pepto bismo won't reset the WD process at all, or even prolong it.
