Tramadol Withdrawal 

Restless leg can happen coming off of any opiates such as ie- hydrocodone( Norco ) Oxycodone (percocet) very common WD side effect not just Ultram

My sister has had restless legs for over 2 months now she can't walk on her own, speaking is difficult to. How long will this go on?

If you were taking it for RLS, it's no surprise that it would come back when you quit.

@@mercykerubo8530 I hope you got medical advice. It sounds serious. See your doctor if you haven't already.

Getting a good absorption of magnesium is very good,& drinking electrolytes,,,, having some Irish spring soap on bottom of feet w/ socks💪🏼 Works Wonders within moments👍🏼

You are strong!!!!

Wow...you said.."I FEEL SO ALIVE RIGHT NOW !"... congratulations..God bless you in Jesus name...for ever..Best wishes from Lenny Luzitano...

@@lennyluzitano8920 no doubt bro. Thanks a lot. Sending love and light to you 🙏

How can I leave it or stop taking it my brother please show me

CONGRATULATIONS..!!!!!

How long did the withdrawals last? I hope you are feeling much better now.

@@niknik5380 physical withdrawal lasted about 2 weeks all in and mentally I’m still going through it quite bad temptation is always there which is probably the worst of all depression will also come with it quite bad but it’s possible to beat this shit I’m feeling much better thank you but it’s not over yet 😊 if your going through a similar situation then my advice to you is remain strong motivated and positive and you can do it but seek help if you can my friend on your own is tough

Can I? God I feel I can’t

@@caligula4609 you can do it but it’s going to be fucking hard one of the hardest things you’ll ever do is come off it.

@@adamrastakhan6459 I have to. I don’t want to depend on anything just to feel good. It’s my first day and already I couldn’t sleep. Im shaking and sweating beads 😂 I’ll be alright in a few days. I don’t think I’m gonna have it as bad as others that have been using for years. It was a few months for my siatica nerve pain.

That’s awesome!

How did you do it plssss? You will never go back ijn..

I think the worst part is the pain

Im finally quitting after 3 years but I'm having a quite a hard time, I'm exhausted but I promised myself never again

How are you doing now?

Never got those severe symptoms taking only 50 mg/day. I try to wean down to 25 before going off completely, but even that takes a lot of discipline.

Does it not affect your kidneys with wat guts you took it for 4 years

I have had to stop, cold turkey, after taking up to 2000 mg a day. Cold turkey was my only choice; I am constitutionally incapable of tapering (psychological constitution, that is).

For how long how much did you use?

Did you taper off slowly?

Same!! Exactly what you just said!! But my gp randomly called me up and scared me and said she wants me off it asap because apparently evidence is now showing a link to adult sudden death syndrome

@@18laila I haven't heard anything about that. They will need to taper you off slowly. Coming off it terrifies me. I've been on it for 14 years now and honestly in those 14 years I've achieved more than at any other point in my life. I'm more productive, ambitious, motivated and all round happier. They were prescribed for chronic back pain after an accident and whilst they still do keep that pain in check, I use them just as much now as almost like an anti depressant and they work. I know some people can end up abusing them but I haven't after 14 years and I know I won't but I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid that one day I would be asked to come off them. I genuinely don't think I can and frankly I don't want to.

Of course it’s an upper no wonder you feel happy it’s a synthetic dopamine

Exactly…I have been taking it since 1995 back when they said they didn’t know how it works but it is not an opioid…prescribed addiction I call it…here I am 28 years later trying to wean myself because I can no longer take the cruel judge mental treatment of the medical community and the hoops I must jump through at their mercy. I chose this medication because I was told it was stronger than Tylenol and wouldn’t make me feel intoxicated…and it doesn’t….but I can no longer take the condemnation of nurses Doctors and such…I have actually increased my cannibus and Tylenol use…after all I take it for chronic pain…no one seems to address that…I feel like I am aging overnight the pain of 30 years ago is is increasing and this is only day three…

I have been on tramadol as needed since 2003. The most I have ever taken is 300 mg in 24 hours. Without it, I couldn’t have gone back to work after a very serious car accident. It’s 2023 and I don’t have a physical or psychological dependence. I do however have a steady sense of well being and ability to accomplish activities that I physically could NOT without these pills. I am now 63. I guess everyone is different, it’s been a true benefit for me.

Today is the 25th day out of Tramadol. 99% ok. A little bit of sleepy disturbance.

Today is the 40th day out of Tramadol. Absolutely ok now. A little bit of sleepy disturbance. But manageable.

Today is the 94th day our of Tramadol. I am completely alright. Who r all wants to quit. Please set ur mind set. Surely will suffer for 5 days . After you will feel better. But will continue another 2 weeks. But manageable only. Once u finish one month u will see the new life for sure.

Today is 113 th day out of Tramadol. Everyone can come out of this drug. Don't give up. All the best.

Day 9

exactly you dont want to do it cold turkey. dose all the way down to 25mg and use clonadine it will go smoother than the stories we are reading on this thread

Cold turkey is hell. The worst part of the taper for me was going from 50mg to 25mg per day. I wish they had 12.5mg pills.

@@1mandrywallarmytv144 Who’s giving u the clonidine? Lol not everyone has access to those meds, I know here u def aren’t aren’t getting any things to help with withdrawal u caused yourself, nope they will let u lay in vomit and heart palpitations they may give u a Zoltan if u have good insurance.

@@averyshenandoah1637 yeah we have it good. Regardless you should always taper off. Makes a huge difference.

It is very difficult, I agree

U mean 200mg?

@@insanestuff9470 yeah 200mg. Ive been back on for 3 months. If I taper down to 50mg a day and clonadine the kick is smoother than the horror storys weve all heard. A little restless but sleep every night. The clonadine helps

Same. Used over 800-1,000 mg/day for a few yrs. Then just started tapering 50mg reduction every 3 days. Once i got to 100mg, I just quit cold turkey. Right now makes 48hrs+ and I'm good to go. Hadn't slept well the past couple nights. And the pain I had before using them is now over. My guess is i'll never use them again.

For me, transform was way harder than Percocet and hydro codone. I took a lot, if both, about 8-12 pills a day, 80-120 msg of Percocet and hydrocodome a day or 800-1200 mg of tramadol. But now I’m done, lost so many jobs and caused my family so many problems because of these addictions. I’m done! I just want a normal life. I tapered to 1-2 pills a day, then to one, split in to 2-3 pieces, then half a pill, and then nothing. Been without it for 8 days, felt horrible the first 2-3 days but then it got a little better. But still, my hands and legs feel restless all day and tingly non stop, like I can’t stop loving them. I feel so tired all day, and coffee won’t help much. My mind is blank and my back aches so much. Crazy! But it’s for the best! I’ve taken this on and off for 8 years and I’m now 33, and want a normal life! I’m tired of losing jobs and having so many problems! 😔

​@@redpillinvestor8571 sorry to bother, you had pain, you get tramadol, you took them, you withdraw them and you pain is gone? I ask because i have tramadol for 9 years 300-400mg per day for my back pain, but i think tramadol made it worse, so next week im going to taper with tramadol drops

it can last months, isnt?

And yawning.

yeah its abit strange. some buds of mine who has used higher doses of this medication experience withdrawal as bad as heroin.

Yeah i did not realise that it was making my pain worse until 4 years of taking 150 mg/day i started like i can't even get of the bed until i take it or i can't even start my day without it , so i prepared and faced the hell there was no single inch in my body that was not in pain even walking is hard in the first 3 days i needed someone to help me to get even to the toilet i prepared with sleeping pills and hoped it would just pass so it lasted for a week of hell then the second week i started to recover from the pain i started having withdrawals symptoms for several hours a day all of them in the time that i used to take it so lunch and dinner so then after 17 days the hours of pain has been declining little by little until i recovered . But now after 6 months clean i took it for one month(relapsed) bc it helped me focus and be more productive at first than you will not live your normal life without it i waiting for the 21 of this month to go cold turkey in the last fay of my exams

For now

@@michaeljoseph5871 I've been on it for 14 years so not really sure what you mean by that.

How many do you take a day

On day 9. Exhausted

I am so sorry to hear this! I feel like many providers don’t realize how bad withdrawal can be with this medication

I agree!!

It’s all a joke n all about the money! Sad

Im storting tramadol drops next week. From 60 drops (300mg), every day 1 drop less.

Excellent suggestion with tapering doses. I think one needs a minimum of one year taper off this drug. Doctors have no sympathy because it’s not them.

Because tapering means getting you off them

how u doing man stil sober?

Really. Worst then endone withdrawals? I’ve been on and off endone 5mg for over 3+ years for chronic back pain and yes I was addicted and have been through withdrawals a few times and it is hell. I was prescribed tramadol 50 mg today from a new doctor I am allergic to paracetamol so they couldn’t perscribe me panadeine forte so they gave me a script for tramadol. I haven’t taken it yet doing a bit of research first. Now I am thinking twice ! Besides the withdrawals how is it for pain compared to endone? Apparently withdrawals start after a few doses so I am really worried and I don’t want to be addicted to a new drug 😕

@@justjuli3t Tramadol worked really well for my back pain. I was on the 100mg SR twice a day for almost 2 years. The best thing about Tramadol is it didn’t give me much brain fog like Endone and Palexia does and I was able to work and function normally while on it. I had almost no bad side effects either, just the occasional headache. It was only when I quit that it turned on me. My God the withdrawals! The physical stuff was horrible (I won’t go into that, pretty standard stuff even if it was severe) and usually painkiller withdrawals only last about a week for me but the Tramadol withdrawals lasted 3 weeks. The physical part was horrible, but it was the mental stuff that was hell. I had horrible nightmares for more than 6 months, the world seemed to look and smell and sound different (much worse) and it put me into the deepest darkest depression I’ve ever experienced. I lost interest in everything I used to love, stopped being able to function normally and lost my job and it took me over a year to get over the mental stuff. Neither Panadeine Forte, Endone or Palexia did the mental stuff to me. It’s probably OK short term, but for the long haul I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. In saying all that everyone is different and maybe you won’t experience what I did. Hopefully this all helps you with your decision.

I've heard that from many others. I was a nurse for 28 years, and I was on it for a while too. Harder to quit than percocet. Withdrawals MUCH WORSE.

@@shellyseaton1858 One of the natural effects of stopping painkillers is the pain coming back - with a vengeance. I gotta face the fact that I have chronic low back pain, and may always need something stronger than Motrin for the pain. I've been taking Motrin 6 to 9 pills a day but there's still a lot of pain. But too much Motrin is bad too, it can cause bleeding stomach ulcers.

I know this is an old thread- but I’m just now reading it. I literally just posted comment saying almost the same exact thing. Tramadol withdrawal is physically and mentally the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life and just like you I have taken and then stop taking several different medications with no problem.

How are you now ?

@@fishfire_2999 I'm good! Once I ran out of that last prescription, I didn't ask for anymore. In fact, I am 33 days clean from booze as well!

@@pkoale7833 I had no idea they came in drops. So happy for You!!

What do you do bout it? I can't sleep bcos of rls

@@jennettegovender2252 light exercise in the morning. Cut off on caffeine and nicotine. Avoid alcohol and antidepressants. If too severe take benzo diazepam but careful don't get hooked on them

@Baldspot yes, it's still legal most places.

Kratom only helps throughout the day but once night hits forget about it the RLS is bad and it feels like you have hairs in your throat

The only relief I found was to stand in the shower and let very warm water run down my legs. I think the combination of heat and hundreds of water pellets on my skin distracted the RLS "nerves" and stopped them from reacting. However, I had to repeat this on and off all night for 3 nights before the demons let me sleep. Lucky for me, my job started later in the day .

you’re welcome

I'm the same, mine is mostly insomnia and bad fatigue. I'm on day 18, I found with the restless legs I used ibourphen gel and or tiger balm. I also found that cutting down my tea/caffeine intake made them a lot worse.

@@2tierkier yes! I have to take 2 Kratum and coffee about 3 hours before sleep

@@2120cbayliss tbh the fatigue got to me too bad in the end, I've started taking them again I have, feel like an embarrassment. Suffered injury in the army so the pain and the fatigue was getting me down way too much. I can't get hold of kratom here in UK unfortunately, would love to try it. Hope you're well though

@@2tierkier you’re not a failure. If I was working, I surely would have lost my job because of all the down time. Be thankful your health care is free, and just take them if you’re given them. Hopefully by the time you are forced to quit, you can get kratum there. The doctors in the USA don’t care about patients. I’ve never felt a high from these pills so I don’t know why they went from nothing to a schedule 1 drug.

@@2120cbayliss thank you for your reply, means a lot. I get them on repeat because of my injury, I just stopped because I was getting too used to them and still feeling pain so decided to stop. Honestly my doctor is the same, he spoke to me like I didn't have a clue what I was saying about the tramaol. I genuinely appreciate the reply, guess sometimes I just need to stop thinking too deep into things.

That's a lot. I was taking 20 50mg capsules a day. It took me slowly cutting it down to get to 2 a day now.

@@Freya1412 nice, im currently on 8 tabs a day. Im thinking to cut down to 7 for a few days, then 6 and so on. Do you think that will be doable?

@@johnlyon949 it's doable. The most difficult part is committing to that plan. Because I remember when I started weaning down, I'd be so sure that tomorrow I'm going to take 1 less pill. And then tomorrow came and I'd panic and promise myself I'd do one less pill the next day. Well eventually I had no other choice but to reduce the amount I was taking. The doctor who used to either sell me a prescription or the pills directly from his surgery had died very tragically. I had no opinions but to cut down. So I told my twin brother what was going on. I asked him to please hold the pills for me and give me the amount I specified to wean down to. And it worked. There really is nothing to be scared of. It's just that tramadol messes with your mind. So if you have one person you can trust, get them to help you.

That’s terrible and I am sure scary to experience!

.....I take up to 4 or 5 per day, over the last 10 years... and thought I was bad😥

thank you….you will want to speak with your healthcare provider on how to taper down. Unfortunately if you stop it abruptly it may cause withdrawal symptoms.

I am so so sorry I completely understand.

True experience

Well if you have chronic pain you'll probably have to continue to take something for it, something stronger than ibuprofen or tylenol. There's a big gap between between NSAIDs and Opiates - nothing in between. Tramadol was supposed to fill that gap, but it's just as addictive as the other opioids.

In 2008 it was definitely known it is majorly addictive. I think it was classed in 2006 or so. It was prescribed to me in 1999 for fibromyalgia, at which time I was told it was not an opioid and was not addictive. I was actually given 800 mg a day! I was forced into going cold turkey in 2008 and couldn’t do anything for a month. It was sheer hell. I was off completely for about three years, but got back on it because it is really the only thing that seems to work for me. It’s a major hassle to get it every month because of controls, but I don’t think I could possibly do that withdrawal again. I literally wanted to die.

@@dorotheastovall245 Yeah, it’s terrifying. I’ve managed to accumulate some extra for emergency but used it up slowly this summer leading up to hip replacement surgery. Now it seems that the 300 mg daily is only enough to stave off withdrawal. It no longer provides the mental benefit it once did. When I first started taking it I noticed I was able to lay around on my off days much longer and watch TV instead of being productive. It slowly has decreased my ability to enjoy life. It can be distressing. I’m very thankful you survived withdrawal. Having to go cold turkey may kill me someday. I’m afraid my doctor may have something happen to him or he could move. He has backed off of trying to take it away. He is my regular doctor. He truly has my future in his hands. Sometimes he probes about pain levels and I can see the wheels spinning in his mind about reducing the dosage if I say my pain is less. But for me it is about the mental dependence. It doesn’t matter if my pain improves. I know you understand this. I wish only the best for you. Thanks

Hi

Brain zaps? How you doing today

@@pkoale7833 all great now, I quit them 3 months ago now and no more brain zaps

It's common with a lot of pain medication. i take an anti-histamine tablet to counteract the itching for a day.

Where do you live?

@@glowgirl8171 Thailand

I also live in Thailand and have had problems with tramadol. Ended up having 4 seizures. But that was 6 years ago and I'm happy to say that I'm clean today 😊

@@heavymeddle28 how many were you taking to bring on seizures?

@@therush5683 I took 30-60 tabs per day. Even though just for a short while it messed it up quite bad. Then I quickly tapered down to only 5 per day and that was no problem

Interesting that dentist use it in Europe

It sucks but it’s the fastest. I’m too weak to taper. Cold turkey or nothing for me. (Not bragging)

I had never heard of anything like that but but interestingly enough I have had something like that in the past when on tramadol. I will have to look at studies and see what is out there. Great question.

@@medmadeez9159 If you get a chance please check into that I'd like to know why every time I go try to off tramadol that I get the brains zaps similar to what people have with the Anti-depressants when they try to get off of them if you look it up I'm sure you would see something about that. Thanks 😊

@@lillianwisdom8298 I had the very same thing happen! Those brain zaps are wicked and scarey af!

@@PS1982SHS how are you doing now? They are going away but now I am lacking energy. Hope you are doing great now. 😊🙏🏽

@@lillianwisdom8298 The brain zaps didn't last long - I had maybe 2 - 3 sleepless nights with them. I had a wipeout of energy as well. And also my bones/joints ached so bad every day. I was starting to believe I was just going to have to live with all that for the rest of my life. Slowly but surely the energy returned. Eat well, rest well, spend some time outdoors (ex walk, garden, sit, etc), and just keep plugging away. It definitely wasn't easy, that's for sure. Hope the very best for you!

How are you holding up?

im not praying for you. i will only say that you will either make it or not. That is controlled by how strong you are as a person. Choose to be strong when you can. fake it till you make it. And whether you make it or not, this has nothing to do praying or not praying for god. Regular atheists and ones who strongly oppose the idea of God, get through this fine. And interestingly, they may also do better, because they dont feel like they are so inacpable, that they have to ask god. You will do this, by the strength of Octavia Morris. She will do it! You will do it! and you will thank yourself and no-one else. The benefit of thanking yourselff over god is so psychologically healthy. If you believe in God, God put you into this situation. what makes you think he will get you out. some will say that he gave you a challenge. If so, surely the challenge would be him asking you to do it for yourself without his help. Which good teacher wouldnt do this. How are you doing?! You will do this, Octavia Morris will prevail and you will achieve your potential in life. You will learn how to use other methods than pain medication and you will live a clean life free from the grasp of oppiates and/or addiction.

You alright?

It can be very difficult! I would contact your primary care provider and talk to them Because you have been on it for so long you may have to do it much slower. I would talk to them first and tell them what’s going on.

@medmadeez9159 my primary care is the one who came up with the plan but realized they were dropping me way too fast. I'll stay on 150mg for 3 more months, then drop in 25mg increments after that. My physician assistant was inexperienced on how to go about this. I think she was embarrassed.

If you have any questions about your health seek medical attention promptly. If you are having severe withdrawal symptoms you may need to be seen in the ER. Speak with your healthcare provider immediately.

Take gabapentin

@@kellywalker9132 thank there I’m gonna try that tomorrow.. I tried stopping last week but I couldn’t.

Definitely speak with your primary care provider

I took Tramadol for 8 years and I stopped cold turkey the first 4 days were hell but then I started taking cbd oil and that helped so much specially for the restless legs. And now I don't need the cbd oil.

Am the same as you mate 😞

Hopefully you are under the care of a provider who can help you with this.

Yes you can, just need motivation. I was taking 2 gr a day, that's 40 caps - for a years, and I quit. Better now than for a year or two or three, and believe me this shit is consuming you and your life very fast. First 2 weeks are terrible, and after that everything comes easier. First 5-7 days, I recommend to stay home because you will be unable to do anything. You can do it believe me, it is hard battle but you can win

Cold turkey is best, at least for me, I'm not tapering guy

It's normal only. Don't give up sir. I am going to complete one year out of Tramadol.

I hope maybe this will help you. 3 years ago, my doctor tried to prescribe Tramadol at 50 mg 3 times daily. He told me they were perfectly safe, but I did my research on them. For that reason, I never took more than one pill daily. I have been slowly weaning off of that one tiny pill for a month now and am now down to 1/4 of a pill nightly. It is crazy, because only taking that small amount I am having diarrhea, restless legs and anxiety. The worst part has been the mental problems. I can't explain it, but I was not wanting to leave my house, depressed and just my mind isn't right. Two weeks ago, I started taking L theanine and 5 htp. It has helped tremendously, and I hope to be totally off of this stuff in a couple of weeks. When I wake up in the morning, I feel mentally whacky, again can't explain it but about an hour after taking the L Theanine and 5 HTP I feel much better. I dose these supplements three times daily.

Saw another RU-vid where the guy reduced it a long time gradually . So you'd go to 1/2 like a month . Then this guy crushed the half & mixed with I'm just guessing 1 t water then used a dropper taking half that for a month . Then taking it every other day then 1 time a week . Till quitting. I've been super depressed , not motivated to do anything & exhausted . No sleep unless I take alprazolam . I quit 2 months ago . Like that guy but without the dropper part . Last week felt so shitty took one & seems like I'm withdrawing all over again.

i have that coming up soon. I am currently trying to get down from 2 x 50mg daily to just 1. Im finding it hard to get to 24 hour gaps between pills. for this reason, im not looking forward to going from 1 to zero. Did you manage to make the jump yet???

@@floatingtangerine no I was off for almost a week, felt so shitty I’d take a half about every other day . Then my mind got so foggy , sometimes I forget to take , it then I realize how s****y I felt. I have one and feel better so this might be a permanent.

It comes in pills as well….you can see if your prescribed can maybe give the pills instead so that gives you a little better control. Slow slow slowly coming off is best. Often this decrease the withdrawal symptoms when coming off. Some people do it over months.

Hey, you can get pills! You can split them up and take in smaller doses over a period of time - don't do methadone that is a replacement for heroin ect it's bad , don't out that shit in you, and just slowly get off tram using pills

yes, quitting is difficult

Yes that is very common

@@medmadeez9159 ah that’s reassuring thank you

Thank you, I’m on day 3 of my second attempt 😢

Hos you doing ​@@Chrispackettt

Going through it right now. Trying to play it off on day two. Only sleep for 45 minutes last night. Tossing and turning all night. But I’m sticking to it. Took an allergy pill to see if it might help. How are you doing now? Hope all is well.

The first 4 days will be horrible. The next 10 days are mild . But you can do it sir. Now I am on 62nd days out of Tramadol.

Generally speaking, it depends on how long you’ve taken it and how much. Everyone’s body is different as well. Hopefully you don’t have any!

You can stop cold turkey, 16 days is nothing, you're just dramatic too much

No far more it interacts with your brain differently altering serotonin levels! Go watch a video of some trying to come off of it not someone who is reading an essay over a PowerPoint presentation!

Withdrawal is the same as Suboxone lasts for weeks..

NO! ITS JUST AS BAD

Personally ,I found the withdrawal worse than Vicodin. The RLS at night was horrific. Stomach problems, chills, just awful. There's an odor that emits from your pores while withdrawing from this stuff. So unpleasant. Then there's a long period of not being able to feel any joy. It lasts for weeks. The mental aspects ? All I can say is good luck.
