I'm not a doctor (although I've played one on the stage).
That said, I was doing upwards of 15 tramadol (Ultram) a day and probably six to eight 7.5/325 percs a day when I could get them.
I was terrified of detox and really did not want to go inpatient. I was totally honest with my PA (physician's assistant), which was important since he was one of my tram writers.
He put me on a pretty good regimen of appropriate meds. I needed to miss three days of work, but that was about it. That's three weeks ago. I'm a bit fluffier from eating, but people tell em I look great. Hell, I'm alive.
You may want to do what I did. Get honest with a doctor who understands addiction. Not all do.
It sounds like you already know that it's possible to kick. I know I do.
All my best,
Da Stagebear
