So fed up
It's bad enough with the neighbour thing but I am now getting off my
painkillers. I thought I had some sort of virus when I was dizzy and my hair was wet from sweating. Nope, it was withdrawal from Tramadol. It's a great painkiller but I decided to leave it. Yes, I still have pain without it but Tram is not for me |

Nope, it was withdrawal from Tramadol. It's a great painkiller but I decided to leave it. Yes, I still have pain without it but Tram is not for me I think that's a fairly normal reaction, though I am not familiar with Tramadol. I've had a lot of surgeries over the past 10 years, but the last one was the worst as far as pain control. I was on a morphine pump 8 days (in- hospital only) before coming home. I was having sweating episodes and felt like I was coming down with the flu. Then at night when I went to bed, my legs would get all strange and twitchy. (Bosley stopped sleeping with me after being kicked enough times). I'd get up and stomp around thinking it would help, but *nothing* helped. It's hard to describe. It was just this itchy, twitchy feeling. Turns out it was withdrawal from the pain meds. IIRC it was much better after just two or three days. Did you know that they give Tramadol to cats? That's what Yoda got for pain control toward the end of his life. They were 2 miligram capsules, and I had to have them compounded at the human pharmacy. Hang in there. If you can tough out the pain or maybe get some non- narcotic med to work for you it would be much better. Sherry |

I was so ill, giddy and sweating, that when the woodman came with my logs, he had to make out his cheque himself and I asked him to feed my chickens. I probably shouldn't have gone cold turkey, as I just stopped them without reducing gradually. I was put on Tramadol for my dreadful shoulder pain, only 8 a day could control it and then the same for my broken ankle. The worst withdrawal symptoms are now over. My docs never told me what would happen when I stopped taking them. Tweed |
