Is it a good idea to use trammadol when weaning off oxy for the lenght od 4-5 months?
I've used Tramadol before to help ease withdrawal symptoms from Oxy, Morphine etc...
Problem with Tramadol is it seems to interact with quite a lot of other meds, it also lowers your seizure threshold and increases risk of Serotonin Syndrome. But it think that is generally more of a risk if you take high doses, like anything above 400 mg per day increases the likelihood of seizures, and if you are on any other Serotonergic drugs like many antidepressants cover this and could effect you.
If this isn't the case for you, then Tramadol may help.
What dose of Oxy do you take? How long have you been taking it? 4-5 months seems like a long taper... But then saying that I've always cold turkey'd off Oxy. It can be pretty brutal, if you don't have to go work, or can take some holiday then you could do it in couple of weeks.
Most times I have used nothing to help with the Oxy rattle, even when I was coming off 400mg per day bingeing. I felt F***ing awful! But it is doable (If you can get holiday off work if you work)
In the past I've used Clonidine to help - which it does.. a little. Allowed me to have a few hours sleep on and off, rather than no sleep at all. You may even be able to get it off your GP? I'm not sure as I live in the UK, and I'd never consider asking my GP that. They would just send me down the local drug treatment centre who would probably put me on Methadone or Buprenorphine (Subutex)
There are loads of people on Bluelight who have more info/advice that could help you. If Tramadol is going to cause you problems and you're not prepared/can't afford to go cold turkey, could you not get a Methadone, or a Buprenorphine prescription(Subutex here in the UK. Suboxone in the US) I think Here in the UK - Subutex is just the brand name for Buprenorphine which has no other ingredients added, Whereas Suboxone contains Naloxone.
Also, depending on where you live and availability... Dihydrocodeine (DHC) could be used to taper from Oxy. It comes in various doses, 30, 60, 90 and 120mg. All of which are slow release (Except) the 30 mg tabs which are instant release, also can get the old DF-118's which are instant release 40 mg Dhc. Biut slow release would probably be better suited if you are tapering. I've read that in some extreme cases they use up to 2500mg a day for Heroin Detox.
Anyway, sorry to go on and on.
Good luck
