Sorry to hear that Opi. We have ALL been down that road. Just have your loperamide on hand and some kratom if you have any. Are you out for good or waiting on "refills". ?Hugs

Sounds like you and me are in the same boat. Im on the Immodium and 250mg tramadol every 5 (more like 4) hours too. I've been throwing in a Klonopin in the cocktail too, to ward off those seizures all the tramadol kids are supposedly worried about...

We HAVE all been there!

Yeah I have been using K's as well,I did notice a weird feeling with the tramadols that I never expirienced before so I'm gonna try to cut back to see if it helps..

Ya, Tramadol is like a double edged sword: You don't want to take it, but sometimes you HAVE to. And some people don't take to it very well. I refuse to take a big dose without anti-convulsants in my system but thats probably just cuz I'm paranoid. Last thing I want is to have a seizure at work and get taken to the emergency room. I wish I had a bracelet that says DNR "Do Not Resuscitate."

I'm on my 2nd day without any opiates and warding off the WD monster with Immodium and Tramadols but still feel like shit and lack of motivation and the cravings are killing me.I know after a few more days it should get easier not sure if cravings will go away. I've been taking about 250mg of tramadol every 5 hours so it's been helping,trying to get my brain to focus on other stuff is something else though,I drive by pharmacies and just dream about all the goodies in there.Sorry if I seem to be rambling this is the only place I can really talk about this and people understand...

Take Care Everyone & Do Some For Me LOL

Trams dont do anything for me.. You say your tryin to get your brain to focus on other stuff, to me the trams just drag the wd's on a little longer but slightly less intense... Its just one more thing to worry about. Id would just tough it out and take a few Immodium.

Well I am cutting back on the trams and with me just the Immodium don't help alone.The trams help me to be able to try and focus on other things besides the WD's so to me they are a help..thanks for your input...

I'm on day 2 of WD and I too am surviving on trams, and maybe some codeine thrown into the equation. In fact I'm at the end of day two and starting to feel normal now. Even the sweating is subsiding. I'm hoping that by tomorrow I'll be right as rain.
Strange thing is though, Opi, I ain't got no cravings. Maybe it's because I'm particularly adept at batting the thought of my DOC straight out of my head as soon as it appears. Or maybe it's just that the trams are doing too good a job. I dunno.
But with willpower, I'm going to carry on clean.
I salute all withdrawers!

Seems like it's withdrawal season. I jumped ship yesterday after a long wean and am getting by on kratom and canadian codeine (mersyndol) to sleep.

It seems like the kratom these days is not as good as it was about a year ago, on average. It took me a while to find a method that actually worked for me.. This may seem high, but I recommend getting some kratom resin pies(ias or tkk) and the new commercial ground leaf(tkk). Take 15g of the resin and make tea with 15-20g powdered leaf(take resin 15 minutes before the tea). The warm tea will help the resin dissolve in your stomach.

For my little withdrawals this week, I just went to the walk-in place and got some xanax for the anxiety (which is no BS- withdrawal produces anxiety- I just forgot to mention the withdrawals;))

Loperamide, xanax, some muscle relaxers, trazadone at night, and a high dose of various B-vitamins and things haven't been too bad.

Course it isn't like I am coming off of a 10 bag per day year long binge either. . .just a fairly short duration morph/fent/coke (mostly morph) binge. I do tend to get a physical dependence quick as shit these days though.

Strangely (or maybe it ain't so strange) the only craving I have had was for a shot of coke. Xannies always make me think coke because then I can come down without the 5 hours of feeling like shit- you know. . .all of the good with none of the bad ('cept the possible heart attacks, seizures, etc. . . but that is all part of the fun of IV coke right?:D)

Hope everyone who posted above is starting to feel better!! Good luck and best wishes.

I just finished my week without oxy, it was easier the 2nd time tho, the first time, I was sore, uncomfortable and irratable, hard to sleep, after that time, I did i again, and I just got little muscle soreness, light sweating, but 60mg codeine and muscle relaxer helped alot, I going to be doing this reguarly, as stopping for a week and going over to codeine is keeping my tolerance way down,
when taking oxy whenever I could I got up to 100mg to get even slightly buzzed, since taking the breaks its only taking me 30mg to get well fuckered if i want to be, last night off 20mg, I was nodding and my eyes were crossing up :D, so there is a positive that comes out of the wd

Hang in there buddy,

So going thru the w/d for a week, once a month I think is good, as it keeps the tolerance down, once u except that u arnt taking any and get over the first day all is good, I recently took on a 2nd job and that helped the time go by, If u sit at home going i need pills and your mind fuckes with you, you make ur situation worse.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and glad I found it! I'm in that boat at the moment myself. I'm surviving on some weak dihydro preparations and some trazadone at night. I tried out cold water extraction earlier, I used the codeine I had on prescription which was not even enough for a while anyway, not while I was withdrawing. It's a pain as I ended up having dreams about it the other night, I always know it's getting bad by that stage. I had quite a big habit ten years ago and got clean, now it seems I can dabble occasionally and know not to get to that stage again. I have to watch it when I am down though, that is what led to me building up a dependency again recently.
