Malicious - the one good thing about having to work through withdrawal is that it gives you a distraction. It sucks physically, but at least you are keeping your mind busy.
TohellanBack - that is great that you are feeling better. Hopefully you will be able to get some sleep tonight. It wasn't until the 4th night on a cold turkey kick that I was able to get more than 0 - 2 hours of sleep, and I was lucky that it came that fast. I don't have much experience with tramadol, but that may have delayed things somewhat. Anyway, it is great that you are turning the corner.
