Just wanted to share that I have been on Tramadol semi-regularly over the past 1.5 years (I would rotate 2 weeks on hydrocodones, 3 weeks on trams, then 1 month on a combination of trams and kratom, etc). However over the past 6 months, it has been mostly consistent with Tramadol with some hydrocodone binges thrown in every few weeks but even then, I would still take 3-4 trams per day while on the hydrocodone.
Over the past month, I have been up to 12.5 trams per day. I decided enough is enough, they are making me tired, sex life non-existent, you know the drill.
YES, I know a benzo addiction makes an opiate addiction look like childs play. I have a script for the 0.5mg tablets. I don't plan on exceeding two weeks of use, if that, and no more than two a day. I have a refill on them if I feel that I need to taper but I don't see why I would need to at such short duration of use.
In the past three days, I went from 12.5 per day to 7.5 as of yesterday.
I took 5 yesterday morning and did not take the other 2.5 till the evening. I took 0.5mg of Kpin early in the afternoon. I could NEVER go that long without re-dosing the trams, ever. But the Kpin seemed to do three things: A) keep the cravings at bay, and B) rid me of the negative mental storm that accompanies this whole thing and C)allow me to focus on my work.
I got up this morning with a wicked case of akathisia (sp?), like I wanted to scream and ram my head through my bedroom wall. Terrifying doesn't do the experience justice.
So, my body is definitely in slight withdrawals. I got up this morning and took 5, and I plan to take another 2.5 before bed tonight to match the 7.5 I took yesterday.
Tomorrow, I will try to knock off another tram. I have about 55 left and I am due for a script which my doc will call in for me (I have a close relationship with him) at the end of this month HOWEVER I want to be off by then, I don't want another bottle.
I know this post is kinda discombobulated but, I dunno, maybe it will help someone out. It's been futile for me so far and I am elated that I may have found a way out.
Oh..and SMART Recovery...if you haven't given them a look, DO IT!

Love you all.
