i use and have used tram for pod w/d and oxy, percs, vicodin , empacod (cheap nigerian codiene) whatever i had around to gobble up.

i use between 250-400 mg of tram per day. sometimes i have to wake up in the middle of the night and take 100mg to keep the head creeps/leg crawlies away.

works good and then i reduce tram does by 25mg every other day to taper. i normally don't suffer much after a pod resin binge - some trouble sleeping/soreness - but if happens i up the dose to 400 + tylenol pm to sleep it off the first 24-36 hours.

It has never helped me coming off of H. But, I have never dosed more than 400 mg at one time.

Just my experience. :cool:

Never helped me either coming off h, pods, morphine, fent or oxy. No matter how much I took. But it has helped many others.

I have used it many times comming off of perc,vics, I generally take 250mg. to start out with that seems to help keep WD's at bay then as time goes by I slowly taper down cause it starts making me feel funny. Just becareful with them cause they can be nasty if you take to many.Also benos help in the mix as well if you can get some..Good Luck and I feel your pain...

I have a suspicion that I will be in the same boat, but I am going to try it because I know I am in for some unpleasant times soon.

I tried to get xanax but was unsuccessful so I went for the trams. After what a lot of people have said I figured it was worth a try.

I am going to combine them with loperamide and see if that helps. I find the lop' actually takes some of the edge off physically, so I am hoping the trams might help with the crushing depression/hopelessness that alway accompanies a good W/D with me.

I am going to do a taper--drop the dose by 1/3 every 10 days. It is the final drop to zero that really has me nervous. . .hate that shit, you know?

Oh well, maybe I can get a bunch of hydros and use that for the end of the taper. . .

Thanks for the responses, All!

what helped me was some herbal extract called Valerian Root. That really relaxed me and put my ass to sleep when I took some more, all depends on the dosage. I was coming off of oxy's cold turkey basically, my doc cut me off of my script and I had nothing to help me so I started doing some research on what could help with W/D's and most ppl I talk to said Kava Kava which is another herb used for anxiety and insomnia. There's also St. John's Wort which is used for depression. Believe me man these actually do help with w/d's if you dont have anything else I mean use these for last resort if possible cuz they can cause seious side effects when taken with other meds. Hope this info has helped you a lil. Good luck and hope everything works out. Take care!
