my ?is if i switch to tremadol for 1 week or 2 and just quit tremadol altogether after that would i skip the bad parts of opiate withdrawal? my cousin swears by the method that it will work but im not so sure. any advice will help,thanks
I wish I could be the bearer of good news. But when I tried to use tramadol when quitting 30-50mg of hydro a day (3-5 norco). The trams were like throwing bricks in the grand canyon. You MIGHT take the edge off a touch, but it is not a miracle solution in my opinion. Don't forget that Trammies have an SSRI property to them, so it would be best, again in my opinion to avoid them unless a doctor rx's them for you.
