michaelwestern: Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. Since you're addicted to it, it might be best to go to a rehab centre so that they help you come of it slowly. If you want to go at it alone, you'll have to reduce the amount you're taking over time so that the withdrawal symptoms are not as bad. If you take a whole 100g sachet right now, perhaps try cutting by half into 50g then slowly reduce to 40, 30, 20, 10, 5. Then you can do 5g every other day, 5g every three days, 5g every week and then none at all. Obviously you can miss some steps if you're fine without it after a certain point. I hope you beat this! 6 Likes |

So starting from today, by God's grace I've decided go cold turkey. I pray that God helps me in my endeavour and that am able to successfully quit taking tramadol. Am hoping to succeed by God's grace exclusively, so everybody reading this should please continue praying for me. I'll continue to update my progress regularly. Thanks y'all. May God be with us all. |

By God's grace, starting from today(March 1 2017) I will completely stop taking tramadol. I need you guys to continue to pray for me because the withdrawal symptoms are very severe. But by God's grace and your prayers i will successfully quit taking tramadol in the mighty name of Jesus. I will continue to update with my progress regularly. If God be for us, who can be against us? For in all things we are more than conquerors. Thanks guys. 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: Haha, are you talking about the withdrawal symptoms? Because tramadol is bad but its not that bad. If all those symptoms come with taking tramadol then believe me, nobody will get addicted to it. I've decided to stop taking it though and I pray that God helps me in my endeavour. |
Re: The journey was not easy by Lexusgs430: 1:27am On Mar 01, 2017 |
michaelwestern: Tramadol is good, if prescribed. Tramadol abuse is the problem. Use of tramadol can lead to the listed aforementioned....... |
Re: The journey was not easy by Lexusgs430: 1:31am On Mar 01, 2017 |
michaelwestern: Why do people get addicted to cigarette, weed, cocaine etc etc etc? Not unless you want to tell that, users of the above are not addicted to the above? |
Re: The journey was not easy by chukkystar(m): 6:41am On Mar 01, 2017 |
Have a lot of Energy drinks beside U, it helps with the weakness that comes from withdrawal |
Re: The journey was not easy by michaelwestern(m): 9:00pm On Apr 17, 2017 |
I thank you all for your advice. By God's grace I believe that I will stop taking tramadol permanently. After having another seizure I was forced to a rehab centre and the withdrawal symptoms have been minimal. My advice for anybody trying to stop taking tramadol or any other additive drug is to go into a rehab centre. Thanks y'all. |
Re: The journey was not easy by michaelwestern(m): 9:43am On Apr 18, 2017 |
Wow! All Glory belongs to God, this is the fourth day of me not taking tramadol. I pray it continues that way in the name of Jesus Christ. I just learnt a very important lesson in life, its very easy but difficult to get clean. Even if you will take it don't take it every day except if its mild stuffs like alcohol. I will continue updating my progress regularly. Thanks y'all |

Re: The journey was not easy by Nellychinma20(f): 8:56pm On Apr 20, 2017 |
The best way to stop this drug is to avoid abrupt withdrawal. am a health personnel, so I should know about this start by reducing the dosage little by little till u wean urself of the drug after all u have been abusing it for long |
Re: The journey was not easy by michaelwestern(m): 7:16pm On Apr 25, 2017 |
Nellychinma20: Thanks for that, I got into a rehab centre so I don't really know the drugs they were giving me as substitute for the tramadol. But it helped with the withdrawal symptoms |
