Took 2 tramadol during withdrawals

After 2 years of tramadol addiction (between 250-350mg) a day I quit cold turkey. WD were not nearly as bad as I had thought they would be but highly uncomfortable. At day 3-1/2 I was really feeling good. I found 2 pills (50mg) each and took them with lunch, besides being upset with myself and disappointed... I am curious as to what this slip up will do to my WD. I know even though I was feeling better my body and mind were still changing. I am hoping and praying I didn't just reset myself back to day 1. I'm a single ex-military father of 2 who start school on Monday. Any advice would be much appreciated... Oh and I'm 26.

Rinse and repeat ?
 
It may set it back a little but I don't think it will go back to day 1. You might want to look up the megathread for opiate wd's for some ideas to help if you need it.

Btw, thank you for your service to this country.
 
I've heard people say that using during withdrawal will just make matters worse or set you back to day one, however in my experience, as long as the dose I take in WD's isn't as high as my typical usage, it simply cushions the symptoms of WD a bit. The symptoms will of course come back, but you kind of just start from where you left off.
