Not good , no sleep for 2 nights now. Aching all over, sweats & shivers & diarhea starting. Still cannot understand how this stuff can be prescribed. The main thing is still maintaining. Spoke to my boss earlier & managed to change my last 2 days holiday to Monday & Tuesday. Should help a lot & hopefully the worst is over by then. My partner said maybe would have been easier to come off gradually, but doing that just leaves temptation to carry on using the wonder tab, so it`s onwards we go
you can manage it. Diazepam from your gp would help. coming off slowly is better, but you have made it this far, so may as well get off it this way. i do suggest going to the gp (if they do not have an appointment, call 111 and they will get you an appointment. your gp can also give you a sick note for work so you will not have to use your holiday days. you might need to be off work for longer, as you will be very tired. the best help is diazepam - settles the restless legs and relaxes the muscles so you can sleep. it may be possible to get a sleeping tablet alongside the diazepam. By the way, diazepam is way more addictive than tramadol, but for three days, it will not get hold of you.
oh gosh glad i made the decision to bin the tablets after taking 1 and they made me feel awful so sapced out and like i was on another planet.
Fired them in the bin and so glad i have as when i looked them up they are not the best tablet to take.
Hope you get some sleep 
Thats what they do to my partner, she won`t take them. They were effective with me, but at a price

Kudos to you for makeing the step to come off them and I wish you all the best in the coming days. Dont give up now you have started
Thanks Steven, it`s hard but it is working. I am a stubborn strong minded person, so I reckon a bit of suffering might do some good as a reminder. All`s good
Yes seems like it, hats off for trying to come off of them though
Best Wishes
Many thanks Dawn, I am winning
Yes I've been there and it was horrible by day 5 you should feel a bit better but everyone different I had to go back on and ween I gave my pills to my man I couldn't take the no sleeping hang in there praying for you exercise was the only thing that helped and wrapping my body in electric blanket hang tuff you can go this
I managed 2 hours sleep today, not bad for staying awake for 60 hours. Starting to feel a bit better, but hope it is not the calm before the storm. I just hope I can get some sleep tonight. Did`nt realise the night was so damn long . All will be ok, I will make sure of that. Thanks for your message DeeDee
On day five all meds and a matter what you're taking any kind of drugs gets out of your body so usually people feel better after the fifth day if you're sleeping two hours that's good because when I did it I didn't sleep any time at all so two hours is better than no hours you're superstrong and you have purpose continue prayer coming your way to relieve the symptoms and let you sleep like a baby tonight stay strong because it's only a matter of days and you'll break free from the monkey on your back
Yip, like I said in my first posting , I am one stubborn individual, sometimes too stubborn, lol. Thanks for the comments. That monkey will be gone very shortly
I hope you are starting to feel a bit more normal today. I am currently weaning myself off them and am down to 2 x 50mg tablets a day, but hoping to be clear of Tramadol totally in 3 weeks time! It's hard, really hard but the outcome will be worth it! I've developed epilepsy after taking 800mg of Tramadol a day for 9 years for degenerative disc disease. Good luck and remember every bit of the pain, the shaking is all you getting closer to being free of the monkey 👍🏼
Good luck to you it took me 4 months to ween I got rid 50 mg a week then cut them in half and the quarters im at 18 days clean today and the monkey 🐒🔫 is dead your almost there GOD speed 🙏🏻
I am feeling a lot better, but sill not able to sleep at night. Jumping around the bed, feels like my legs & arms are not mine, jump, jump all the bloody time. Other than that a lot better
Magnisum brother will help with that and help you sleep 😴
Still a few hot flushes & chills, & sleep is not easy as the leg & arm muscles are still wanting to jump around. Other than that a lot better Will try & get some sleep later on today
Got some sleep today, 5 hours so feeling a lot better, still hot & cold but I reckon the worst is over
All good, now day 6, the worst is over.
Yeah it's 4:50am here and I'm still awake eve after 2 sleeping tablets! I'm jumpy, achy and generally restless but can't focus enough to watch any TV. I'm not sure I can do the distance of tapering any longer and considering just come off in a oner! The only thing that stops me is my epilepsy-it could bring on a seizure if my body struggles too much 🙄😄
