Helps With Tramadol Withdrawl Facts in Questions
Can vicodin help with withdrawl from tramadol? (yes I have the two in the right spot) thanks:)
Is there anybody on medicines like epilim, endep, Tramadol, Norspan Patch, Somac and Coversyl? Hi there!,
I had accident in 2005 in which by disc in the lower vertebra was crushed.
I am on Tramadol since then and get withdrawl effects if I try to stop it,
After my operation I was on morphine and later I had Oxycontin for 2 months.
I feel uneasy if I do not change my Norspan patch, I can't sleep if I don't take endep. Coversyl I take to control my high blood pressure and Somac to reduce the acidity from these medicines (without somac I have buildup a white acidic fluid in my mouth).
I had kidney stones 3-4 months after my accident(which I belief developed from medicines) had lithotripsy and also had developed fatty liver.
In Jan'08 I had a full patch of Norspan 5mcg, had epilim 500mg, endep and epilim and one morning I just fell down unconcious. Everything was black for me, my words were echoing in my ear. My wife and my mum took me in the backyard for fresh air and took the norspan patch and it was then I came back.
Later I had just a one tblet of and was face and all was swollen and the prescribing doctor asked me to stop it then and later apologised to me.
Later I found out Heath ledger had the similar medicines when he died and now Legendary Michael Jackson had oxycontin too.
If there is any doctor writing answer to this question of mine knows any medicine which can replace my current medicines or let me know about a place where they can help me detox will be great.
Thanks for your time
Tramadol Detox Suggestions? Greetings. I'm a 27 year old wife/mother to be. My husband is struggling with an addiction to his prescription of Tramadol. He's come forward with this information due to seeking help. I'm due to have my baby in the next 2 weeks and am curious what to expect with his withdrawl symptoms? Is this something I can handle with while I am on bedrest for the baby? And will there be any violence tendencies that would endanger the baby after she is born? I want to do my part in his recovery but have never been in this situation before. I have no idea whether to control his intake of the pills, dwindling the amount slowly, or if I need to step in another way? Any information and enlightenment is very welcome at this time. Thank you.
Thank you for your support on this matter. It's very much needed right now. While I am very unfamiliar with a narcotic detox program, my husband has agreed to allow me to monitor his intake. With this agreement, I suggested that I cut the pills up so that he was unaware how much I am actually giving him, and hopefully in the process break the mental addiction as well. Is this an okay method? I will obviously go slow, as he is addicted to taking 7 50 mg pills a day. I figured I can have him down to 4 in a couple weeks? Thanks again for input and help.
*LoViN_LiFe* replied: "First I want to say, I hope you and your husband get through this together. He will need you by his side. I wish you both the best of luck. Addiction is a hard thing to go through, but you both have to hang in there and in only a matter of days maybe a few weeks things will be back to normal. Withdrawl symptoms vary from person to person and also depends on the length of use and how much he used on a daily basis. Withdrawl symptoms from tramadol include; strong drug cravings, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, mood changes, sweating, chills, tremors, hallucinations, insomnia, breathing problems, muscle and bone pain, palpitations and agitation. I don't think that there should be any violent tendencies that will harm your infant, but I'm sure he will want to lay in bed for a few days. I would start controlling his intake of the medicine and maybe ween him down. For example; first day if he takes ten give him eight for a few days and then six for a few days and so on. If you don't feel comfortable with the withdrawl symptoms then you might want to seek professional help for tramadol detox. I have also been through this with my boyfriend besides it was a much stronger pain medication. It is horrible seeing the one you love lay in bed sick like he may be, but you have to stay strong and do as much as possible which will be hard having a new baby in a few weeks, but I wish you and your husband the best of luck during this hard time!!!!"
Am I addicted to tramadol (ultram)? This is sensitive for me so please only reply with serious answers. I've been taking ultram for almost 2 years. I am up to 6 50mg. a day. I have a painful form of tendonitis and synovialitis in my hand. My original doctor didn't diagnose it properly after I fractured a part of my hand. The second doctor that I'm at is really good. However, I got a cortisone shot (which isn't good to keep getting all the time), and another prescription for tramadol. Tramadol is the only thing that works for me without having to go up to the next level to lortab, percocet...ect. The problem is I really don't think it affects my life but I don't want to take this forever. When I've tried to get off of it I have really bad physical withdrawl and mental. I've researched why this is. The opiod effect produces an endorphin effect so my natural endorphin makers begin to quit working after time. I don't know what to do. If I go off of it I will have pain. But because I've been taking for a long time i've developed more endurance for the drug. I think my nurse thinks I'm going through it to fast at 6 pills a day. The max is 8 pills a day according to prescription facts. I was told I need surgery to relieve the pain completely but I have a complicated issue of insurance coverage...i really fell through the cracks. Now i wouldn't be able to come up with any money for anything but a doctors visit.
Please help with some advice...or encouragement.
Happy Holidays.
Unfortunately it only comes in 50 mg. and 100 mg. There is a way to cut the dosage properly to ween myself off but I don't want to talk to my doctor about this. He could become worried and never prescribe me anything. Or if i ever need a pain med for something more serious i might not be able to get it.
The thing is Tramadol masks the pain..and I have tried IBprofen 500 and it doesn't even surface the pain. I try to understand why this drug works so good with getting rid of the pain. If I take it i don't have pain which is great. But eventually just like everything else..i will develope resistance to it.
You helped Blas...thanks.
Help me relieve my opiate withdrawl? I am a 28 year old guy and have had 2 separate spinal surgeries in my life. Both have gotten me addicted to Lortab and Percocet. The first time I quit cold turkey and got about 3 days into my with drawl and gave up and checked into a treatment center. 2 years later, here I am again. Had a spinal disk fusion about 3 months ago. Been taking pain pills like crazy and realize now the pain is gone, but I can't quit the pills.
I remember in treatment for the symptoms, they gave me Phenobarbital (a barbituate used to prevent stress and thus seizures) and Tramadol aka Ultram (non-narcotic pain killer). It worked wonders. I felt great.
Good news is all the while they were giving me the Lortabs, they were also giving me Tramadol. I practically STOCKPILED the stuff for this instance here. To avoid treatment centers. However, I think the Phenobarb was really the actual good part. I am still having bad leg cramps and worst of all SLEEPLESSNESS. I need sleep.
Can someone tell me if this is safe and what else can I do?
ReggieR replied: "Buck a couple of questions to see if I can understand your situation clearer. How do you know the pain is gone from a surgery just 3 months ago, if you still are on pain meds. You know if you take pain meds as directed by one doctor for pain that does not mean you have an addiction, it means you and your doctor are attempting to control your pain. My suggestion is talk to the doctor and instead of going cold turkey have the doctor slowly cut you back over several months. Pheno is to prevent seizures, but if you cut back slowly seizures should not be an issue. Also eat bananas for the potassium for the leg cramps and drank Gator-Aid.
Also Tramadol is addictive, so be just as careful with this drug. As far as sleep goes ask the doctor for Tizanidine, which is a muscle relaxer that will help you sleep without another addiction.
If you realize you are possibly an addict, why not go into treatment, not just Detox and get to the root of the issue instead of just brushing over the surface? But if you are a pain patient then deal openly with a pain management doctor and discuss your concerns about addiction. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to email me. God Bless ReggieR"
Will Fioricet help me in kicking percocet & vicodin? What can I take to help? I hurt my back in an car accident & have been taking percocet & or vicodin everyday for 9 mos. My doc cut me off because he wants me to have surgery but I have kids (babies) and my husband is deployed. What can I do or take to make the withdrawl less painful. Like I said I am pretty much a single mom so I cant lay around. Would Floricet help & or tramadol?
Cried myself to sleep is that depression? Basically had enough of life ,find it hard to put 8 hr shift in at supermarket, come off alcohol, marijuana, speed, no motivation, on valium for anxiety/drug withdrawl really like it but try not to have too much its the only thing that makes me feel good. Seeing counsellor but she's finshing our sessions, really like her, but of course she has to leave so can't see her anymore, feel alone even though i have friends. don't like to socialize with groups of people,Feel suicidal lately, drank a bottle of vodka with 300mg of tramadol went hospital,wasn't sure if it was suicide attempt. Today i struggled at work and when i came home i went to bed and cried myself to sleep. Refuse to take anti depressants, had em before felt nausea and suicidal. was bricklayer for five years. don't think it's normal for a male 23yrs to cry? any help?
steve j replied: "it sound to me that you need to try and find another therapist that you feel comportable talking to???maybe you need to commit yourself to a 48-72 hour hold at a hospital? help yourself!!! life always gets better!!!!"
judles replied: "Sure it is ok for a 23yr male to cry, you have done some really heavy stuff. Coming of alcohol, pot and speed, wow that is brilliant, I strongly suggest you attend AA and NA, it will keep you on the right track and you will meet people who have had the same experiences as you. Start being kind to yourself, perhaps you are not up to working long shifts right now. Anti depressants can be a matter of trial and error, but there will be one that suits you, and they will make you feel so much better, you may even need them short term, by the way don't listen to the NA/AA 'doctors' you take what is best for you. I wish you all the best and remember you WILL be fine"
fisherwoman replied: "Yeah, you need to get some help. Contact your local mental health office today, they can help you today and get on the road to a healthier mental status. I really think you should try the anti depressents again,maybe try a different one from before. I take Nortryptilyne, but there is Seretonin and another one, that help with the ups and downs. Vodka is a depressent, and very dangerous to mix, I know you know, but I'm concerned for you. Uncontrolled crying is a symptom of depression, you need the meds to get things "leveled"in your head. I have a son three years older than you, he too went with drugs for a few years, meth was his demon and it changed him completely. When he quit, he withdrawled, and depression was a part of that process, he too didn't want the meds, but finally did, and thanked me for pushing him, now it's wonderful for him, there is hope and people that care. Reach out for that help today, make the call."
Simple Minded replied: "Hi,
I empathise with you. You are not alone. I've been through depression too.
It seems you are having some emotional distress and some symptoms of depression.
How about seeing a psychiatrist and finding another counsellor? If you feel suicidal, is it possible to get help from your family members or friends or a suicidal prevention line?
It is normal to cry. I'm a male and I've cried too. It makes me feel better.
You may like to inform your psychiatrist to switch to another anti-depressant drug.
Try to keep yourself busy, and keep yourself occupied with hobbies too. Exercise, soothing music and prayer are a great therapy.
If you have persistent suicidal thoughts, it is good to check into the hospital for therapy. Psychotherapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may help.
All the best. Try to take your medication and to avoid alcohol and mirijuana."
han83b replied: "Of course its normal, and with all the things going on in your life it sounds like you have a right too. Unfortunately this is probably the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life. I would definately explain how you feel to your counsellor, she should not be ending your sessions till you say your ready too. If you think that the valium is helping, take it, you can deal with that later, just be aware its an addictive drug too, I am been thru similar and family been thru the same uphill battle, and i know it helps to hear other peoples stories. Perhaps the following books may help, A million little peices - James Frey and Scar Tissue -Anthony Kiedis, from Red Hot Chili Peppers.. both great true stories of battles with drug and alcohol addiction. Good Luck, hang in there."
Shanna h replied: "Sounds like your depressed, but you need to be sober for 4-6 weeks, before a doctor will diagnose you. You could benefit from an antidepressant, but you have to be willing to accept the help. Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Cymbalta, or Celexa are all good and may help you get back on track. Talk to your doctor and give one of these a try. Remember the med will not do the trick entirely. You have to put out the effort too and it will take 4-6 weeks for the meds to get into your system. If you try a medication the side effects will go away after time and you will feel better in a couple of weeks. Suicide is never the answer and if you feel that way, you may need to contact a mental health professional immediately."
Nate T replied: "Your body is all out of wack so the crying is normal. I am 24 and still cry but its usually just a little due to the end of my marriage. If I ever feel like crying I always have let it out its better that way and nothing to be ashamed of. I realize your low point because I have been there but mine didn't consist of the pill abuse. I am just going to tell you that there is many people who have gone through the point your at and made it through. I think you should lay off the drugs and force yourself to exercise a little each day. If you wont run then get a bar and power lift it works for me. This will help balance your chemicals in your mind again. You said you were a bricklayer I am also experienced in the trades. When you were a bricklayer were you in a better mental state? In that trade you got that workout your body needed every day and in the supermarket u probably dont. Goodluck guy and lay off the bottle."

Help with Dihydrocodiene withdrawal? I have been taking Dihydrocodeine for over 3 years. Over the last year my dose hit about 20 30mg a day. I originally took them for a stomach condition, that cleared up but I continued to take the drug as I had become dependant. I began to lie to my doctor to get more and more, I even found someone to sell me their monthly prescription. Up until this morning I had managed to go nearly 3 days cold turkey, I have really had enough of being a slave to this drug, I can not believe I let it get so bad. Anyway, today I really could not take anymore so I phoned my GP and confessed. I told her I was determined to quit and we discussed how to do it. Problem is she does not sound to sure and gave me the option of moving on to tramadol or codydromol, I chose the latter and was frustrated as I got absolutely no relief. I should mention I have a back problem and when I stop taking DHC not only is it painful but I have dreadful pains in the bones in my arms and legs and it this symptom above all the others that makes me cave in. My doctor is not sure wether this is caused by withdrawl or my back and I just feel helpless. This morning I have taken 2 10/500 Cocodamol and when that did not work 2 tramadol. I have managed to get up, the bone pain has eased a lot but my back is still really sore, I feel far from good but I feel I can handle it. I want to know if continuing taking tramadol, 2, 3 times day will help with DHC withdrawal and will I have to go through severe withdrawal when I attempt to quit tramadol, because if so I can not see the point. I was hoping to use them for a couple of weeks and then gradually reduce them. Does anyone know if this is a good way to withdraw, my doctor does not seem sure. any help appreciated, thanks. Also has aqnyone experienced severe bone pain when withdrawing from DHC?
Daniel J replied: "I would not take any more DHC . If you have went this long the worst is almost over. Three years is a long time to be taking anything daily. But you realize you dont want to live with a dependence so good for you! Your body is going to still want the drug and it will do anything to get it. That is why you are hurting. Its your body trying to fool your mind into taking more DHC. Be strong and the pain will go away. I know I have been there. After about the first week or so you will start feeling better than you have the last few years. Exercise in moderation will also help. I have gone through withdrawal many times and believe me you will be glad you got off the DHC. Just be careful and dont trade one addiction for another. Stick to over the counter meds for your aches."
pumpkincat210 replied: "You should taper off the medication. cold turkey is bad with opiate like drugs, its like coming off of heroin but weaker! just don't get addicted to the tramadol."
tamisara sez replied: "Dihydrocodiene addiciton is a very serious, and quite topical issue. It has been on a restrcited medicines register for a while now, because the risk of addiction is so high. It is an opiate, similar to heroin and the physical addiction is the same.
I'm not sure that you should be taking Co-codamol either; the reason being is that it still contains codeine... and it is this that you are addicted to, so the physical addiction is being satisfied (if not as much it is still there). Also the added hazard of this regime is you now have paracetamol (acetaminophen) added into the mix, and if yoiu increase the you risk causing severe damage to your liver, or even overdose.
I have to admit to being hooked to these in the past, and when the doctor refused to give me a script I bought paramol or own store brand, which is paracetamol and dihydrocodiene.
In severe cases the doctor can prescribe methadone to lessen the withdrawal effects, though you'll need to come off the methadone.
I would have asked for a mild tranquilizer, such as valium for a short period of time, and only when needed; although this is addicitve it can help you to relax.
You need to see a dedicated drugs counsellor; family doctors are ill equipped to deal with this problem , and if you did need something such as methadone they'd have to agree to it.
Drugs counsellors are really the best people. It doesn't matter whether it is a prescription drug, or a street drug, the thing is you are addictied, and it's a physical as much as psychological addiciton - all codiene products are opiates and work on the brain.
You may be able to learn relaxation techniques and have accupuncture if it helps.
Please see a drugs counsellor and get the help that is out there.
Good luck xx"
DynoDiKk replied: "BOY Amen to this Pumpkin cat, all this stuff sucks, I even weaned off 200mg's of methadone a day and let me tell you Tramadol was THEE worse! I would have liked to e-mail this person so they could explain their experience BUT she does not allow e-mail. I would have killed myself comming off that tramadol and it was worse with me than OxyContin, Methadone you name it."
doctor gave me painkillers that aren't safe! 19 weeks pregnant? okay so i have an ulcer that when it hurts can hurt worse then the pain right after they take you off pain killers form a c-section. before i had my first i was on morphine and tramacet just to kill the pain... now im obviously not on those but i asked my doctor for something i could take that was safe he perscribed tramadol i filled the perscribtion talked to the pharmaists and found out it can cause seizures and withdrawl for the baby! my son already has seizures i don't wnat this baby to have them form a painkiller! the pain gets unbareable at times though and i have an 11 month old to run around after. has anyone ever been given stronger pain meds that were safe? tylonal does nothing for me i had to take t-3's and ib prophine a lot when i was about 12-15 for a problem with a nerve in my foot (hence the ulcer) and my body adjusted and they don't even help a simple head ache any more. any suggestions? because I seriously double over and scream in apin when it gets bad and thats usually once every couple days... and it lasts for a long time...
