Tramadol withdrawal. Need support

I’m on day 3 of withdrawal. Thankfully the restless legs gave stopped and I hoping tobgrt a better sleep and not wake up sweating and freezing in the morning. I’ve been struggling with this on and off for years. I’m so ashamed to tell my wife, I loathe myself when my kids say the love me…if they only new I think to myself. When I take Tramadol I feel more confident, so friendly and chatty, I’m a complete introvert so it makes me feel amazing when I’m on Tramadol. I can go 2 or 3 weeks without it and tell myself ‘See you can quit easily’. Then I’m back on them worse than ever. Can anyone help? I know now I cant do this alone. I need all the help I can get.

Thank you. Today sucked big time it really did. This morning was horrible. I know if I can get through the next 2 days the horrible physical feeling will be gone. Then the hard work starts. Staying off it. Thank you so much for your advice.

Thank you so much Dalex77. I really appreciate your advice. I’ve been through so many withdrawals and I swear everytime is the last. This has to be is otherwise I’m going to just keep doing it until it’s to late. I’ve never had oxy although I have seen a lot about it. It sounds horrific. Thank you for helping.

Hey buddy, sorry to hear your struggling. Ive had my issue with fentanyl/heroin for about 12 years, i can relate to the struggle. If you absolutly cant get past the withdrawl, consider an inpatiant detox and do lkke a week ling taper with suboxone. If theres anything i can help you with let me know. Stay strong man, your worth it and life is worth it.

Hi thank you so much. I’m into day 4 now so the sweats, restless legs and waking up freezing seemed to have passed. Staying off them now is the hardest part. The support here is amazing it really is. Thank you for reaching out.

Anytime man, thats what we’re here for. Glad your feeling a little better. Just remember your already this far. If you take even one pill its back to day one and have to go through it all over again. Just gotta remember the more time that goes by the closer you are to sobriety and really true happiness.

You need to stop, try stopping gradually.
Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
If you Don’t stop there’s only 3 ways, prisons, hospitals and death.
1st step admit that you have lost control over you live…
Don’t give up on you!
