Hi, i'm looking for some help and advice. I've Been Abusing Tramadol for 3 years and over the last week i have gone from 6 a day and at least 3 days a week abusing them and taking 10 in a night, down to one a day. I can deal with all the withdrawal side affects but i cannot cope with the RLS. I have seen a lot of things to take for it but its mostly US posts with things i cant get here. Also i'm wondering if using codeine to help with the withdrawal is counter productive? i appreciate any help i can get here.

The RLS is why they call it "kicking"... Codeine would be completely counterproductive to use, it being a true opiate..Unless you tapered with that, but I'm not sure there would be an advantage...
I can rattle off a whole list of detox drugs for you, but it won't really do you much good if you can't access them..Do you have access to Valium/klonopin/xanax or some other benzodiazepine that you could take at night?
Check the OD directory in my signature, there's useful info there, and some interesting stuff to read as well...

Tramadol even though it is the weakest opiod out there still causes hellish withdrawals and hardcore depresion. I find that tramadol causes this more than any other opiate because of its serotonergic effects on the brain it seems to work like an anti depressant with the same symptoms of withdrawal as many anti depressants. I was thinking what about going on a mild serotonin releasing agent (SRA) for the tramadol withdrawals that would help a lot with the crazy thoughts.
