No thanks. Your friends are well hard and I have nothing but admiration for them, I'll do this my way which is slowly.

This is what I am trying to do, thanks for commenting.

No I have not decided to remain addicted, I've been okay for years taking the Tramadol, I honestly can not cope with the withdrawel pain, at some point I might have to tackle it but for the moment I will continue as I am. I'm obviously no where near as strong as other people when it comes to pain and the awful body relaxing syndrome, When the time comes for me to tackle getting rid of this addiction I will contact you for the details of the doctor you have mentioned. No cause was ever found other than the doctor saying "you have nerve pain" Don't know if the original pain has gone as I have never stopped taking Tramadol, got myself into a big mess

I was referring to in patient re-hab, I know a doctor would be about 2500bht for a consultation.

Thanks, I can not beat this, I was okay untill I tried to stop I've been feeling bad ever since, I have to continue taking the Tramadol whatever the consequences might be. I'm feeling so down constantly thinking how stupid I have been, it's a continuous nightmare.

That was the worst thing by far, "restless leg syndrome" I just can not cope with it. Thank you for the advice I will take it slowly.

I tried to stop a few days ago, the pain was unbearable, what was worse was my mental state, irritable, my body would not relax which again was unbearable, I could not sleep just pace around the house, I was very scared and could not imagine having to cope with it anymore, I took 2 tablets, the pain and my mental state soon returned to normal, it's not fair on my gf having to see me like that, I'm sure she is scared and scared for me. If I can't do this on my own without the pain and mental side of it I will just carry on taking the Tramadol, I've been taking them for approx 4 years with no side effects other than Constipation which I deal with. I have not got the will power to cope with the withdrawel. I am going to reduce the tablets and hope I can get through this virtually pain free. If I'm honest I can't see how I am going to get Tramadol free but I will try my best. I wish I could afford professional help which I wouldn't be able to afford, I am certain my insurance company would not pay. What a mess I've got myself into, never thought it would happen to me.

Thanks I will do that.

Yes I was thinking about Ultracet.

I am reducing the amount I take, was 4 now down to 3 over 24hrs.

As said I'm going to reduce and hope in time I can be free of the addiction. I feel fine taking the tablets obviously its not ideal but as long as I don't have to go through the terrible pain of withdrawal I will continue to take the tramadol.

No to your questions. I can not endure the withdrawal symptoms I will reduce the amount I take slowly. Yes to drinking lots of water.

I couldent cope with that, I will reduce and get free slowly.

Yes I read it can be 7 days approx.

I'm going to decrease the amount I am taking, I have been taking 4 50mg tablets 1 every 6 hours( 24 hrs) for over 3 years(I can't believe how stupid I have been) I will now go down to 3 50mg over a 24 hr period. I can't afford to get professional help so I have to do this on my own. I can't tell you how scared I am, the withdrawal pain is something I can not cope with. If it comes to it I will just continue taking them. Thanks for all the helpful comments apart from one that said " just stop" I wish it was that easy. This all started about 4 years ago, all of a sudden I got pain in my Abdomin, it was so bad I honestly thought my life was over, since then I have been on the tablets because I was scared the pain would return, many many tests showed nothing.

I've tried to stop the Tramadol, I can't do it because the pain is too much for me, plus my legs won't relax, I can't sleep. I need an alternative to take which will take the pain away at the same time letting the Tramadol effects subside, comments say it should only be for a few days. I will ask in my local Pharmacy in the hope they can recommend something. Thanks.

Pain was in my Abdomin left side, I've had many CT scans in the last 4 years, all have been clear, Doctor said "you have nerve pains"

Tried to stop it's been awful, after taking 2 tablets I'm feeling better,. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks,

I've got my self into a big big mess, been using Tramadol since my pains started approx 4 yrs ago(I think) taking 1 50mg tablet every six hours even though I didn't have any pain (taking them to stop pain returning) people warned me as did the Hospital but I was so scared of the pain returning that I foolishly kept taking the tablets, I've not taken the tablets for 1 day now, im in terrible pain, my body feels like it's electrified, I don't know how to make myself better, I'm at my wits end. I know I've been stupid, the tramadol made me pain free. I'm not looking for a telling off just helpful advice as to how I can make myself better. Am I experiencing withdrawal, it's awful. My gf is with me so I am not on my own, this is not nice for her. Never thought this would happen to me, I'm 68. In my desperation I've taken 2 50 mg tablets to try and stop the pain, it's worked, not better just more bearable, how do I go on from now, I never want to take Tramadol again.

Big bikes ate fine if you ride them sensibly, U turns are a big problem here. How fast was he going into a u turn to do that much damage.

No

I'm old as well, had a very bad night as I stopped taking the Tramadol, I went about 9 hrs without then the pain started back, headache from hell, took 1 tablet this morning at 6am it's now 10.15 the pain and headache has almost gone. I can't afford to keep going to Hospital when nothing is found, I'm happy to keep taking the Tramadol and be pain free, I don't like taking it but it's something I have to do.

Yes no problem.

Thanks for all the comments.
