HI Becky,
Just wanted to drop in if I may. I had problems with lots of other opiate meds. BUT once I found tramadol, that became my doc. I can tell you from experience and from w/d off only tramadol that it seemed much worse to me. Before I found tramadol I once w/d off of lortab and it was about 3-7 days tops. But with the tramadol it took me a full 10 days to feel somewhat "normal"
Hope that helps some. You are doing great and keep with it...it will pay off
