My story:
I've been taking Tramadol socially for a few years now. About a year ago (Add a few months), I started taking it regularly. It started at 100-150mg a day. Currently, I'm at 1,050-1,200mg a day.
With my line of work, I never had to depend on dealers or friends. I was able to order it offline until this past August when it became a schedule IV controlled substance. Once I was no longer able to do that, I began getting it from my work. Sometimes legally, sometimes illegally.
Last month, I obtained a few prescriptions illegally. My work found out about it and immediately terminated me. The police were also involved, because dealing was on their list of possibilities. I've never ever sold anything. When the detective came to my house, I denied everything. To the core.
That evening, he went and talked to my husband. My husband came home from work that night and we had a serious talk. Talking resulted in me leaving town to go stay with a friend while I detox so that my kids don't have to see me. While en route to my friend's house, I called the detective and came clean about everything. He thanked me, congratulated me, and said he'd be in touch in a few days.
I got here on Thursday. I still had some pills left. I didn't want to waste them and I couldn't not take them, so I continued my normal dose for the first three days I was here. This morning, I woke up and began reading forums (I've been a creeper of this site for a year, LOL.). After reading for awhile, I ended up throwing my remaining pills in the sink.
I'm not sure why I started taking them. The detective said PPD because it started pretty immediately after I had my daughter, which I'd never thought about.
I took my final 350mg right before I threw the rest in the sink, so I expect to begin the withdrawal this afternoon/evening.
I attempted to stop back in August when it became controlled. I made it 9 days. I couldn't handle the no sleeping and no energy.
This time is different (Obviously). I've also had three days to mentally prepare myself and I'm ready. I know what's to come from my withdrawal in August and I'm not excited about it.
I have two young children that need me. My husband said he wants the wife he married back. I didn't realize the effect it was having on everyone.
I tried The Thomas Recipe last time. I'm not sure if it helped or not, but I still have all the vitamins from August ready in case I need them.
Does anyone have any advice to help the withdrawal? I know tapering would have been ideal, but I don't have that kind of control. I envy people that do.
I'm not afraid for what's going to happen to me legally, though I've never been in any kind of legal trouble before. I'm only worried about making it through the horrible withdrawal and STAYING clean.
Hopefully it'll be easier this time because I don't work at the place I got it from anymore.

Hey Foryourkids, and welcome to BL
Way to make the choice to get clean.
There are medications that can help you thorough this and you may wish to visit a physician and explore these options. They don't make things perfect, but they can really help a great deal.
medications for acute opiate detox
The medications I would explore the use of for detox would be:
>Clonidine< DOSED EVER FOUR HOURS..
one of either
>NEURONTIN< >HERE< >HERE< >here<
OR >Lyrica<
OR >phenibut<
>A BENZO BUT JUST AT NIGHT<
>a nsaid<
>melatonin<
tylenol
Senokot S is a stool softener and laxative. If you do not want the laxative you can go for strait stool softenerDioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.
(Opi Withdrawal) what is the best comfort meds for opiate w/d?
Your Personal Opiate Withdrawal Arsenal
Your going to do this.. your just going to feel a little under the weather for a little while.. but thats ok and you will make it through

Good luck!!..i think gabapentin would be perfect for tram withdrawal, maybe 300-500mg depending how they hold u and only for 2 weeks or less.lyrica is basically gabapentin on steriods so that would work too just take a lower dose.just a warning ive had 2 friends have seizures from taking doses less than u were of tram so be very careful!!!.
.also if kratom is available where u are living that could help u out also.just be reasonable with all comfort meds because they can turn into another addiction.i had a run with lyrica after i used it to get off oxy.have a good day!%)

I'm impressed with your honesty and I think that shows an incredible strength that you have within to keep you on track. While you are going through the hard parts of physical withdrawal and the PAWS after that, use that honesty to ask yourself what you were looking for from the drugs, what they gave you and how you plan to get that after they are no longer part of your life. Strategies and plans are crucial. Best of luck. Our kids do have a way of calling out our better selves if we let our love for their well-being guide us.
