oh boy, do I feel for you!!I was addicted to ultram and I was so close to suicide. You are taking 300mgs a day, that makes it six pills.Right??Man, I was taking 12 to 16 pills a day.I had to have those pills everyday!!I knew an old man that would sell them to me for $2 a pill.Hes an old fart that thrives on womens weakness. He wouldnt give me a break either.I got so bad sometimes I felt like hitting over the top of his head and taking them all and running.On days I couldnt get them I would go thru terrible withdrawl. I would sit on the toilet with it coming out both ends.Diarreha and throwing up. I thought I was dying. I called a drug and alcohol clinic one day and made a appointment. They put me on methadone 6yrs ago and by the grace of God I havent had a pill. I know alot of people put methadone down put I would not be alive today if I hadnt called that clinic. Maybe you might have to make a call. You will difinetly be in my prayers. If you need someone to talk to you can e-mail me at:klinedarlene@yahoo.com

Tramadol (aka Ultram) is a terrible drug to withdraw from. You risk having seizures as well as the worst depression of your life. Doctors, however, do not believe this drug is addictive but as you already know, it is extremely addictive and causes BAD withdrawals. You MUST go the doc and be honest with him. The doctor will not give you oxy but ask him about SUBOXONE or SUBUTEX. This is a relatively new drug that helps with opiate based withdrawal. Even though ultram is not an opiate it reacts in the same way so suboxone will definitely help with your withdrawal. At the very least, he may prescribe enough tramadol to help you taper off. Do not feel alone. There are many, yes MANY in your same situation. I just said a prayer for you, its all I know to do other than this advice. If I can be of any further help to you, let me know.

I will pray for you. Your going through something terrible and the success of getting off them really boils down to your own self control. I took care of my mother (enabled her is a better way of saying it) while she went through her oxycontion addiction she had take 90 within 3 days had a stroke and my 8 year old daughter had been the one to find her not waking up with blue lips.. pretty scarey stuff, this was just one of many times she overdosed. Somehow she survived them all and now she has been sober since October of last year. I no longer speak to her but I hear she is better. Sometimes you have no idea the effect of your addiction (your problem) can have on someone else. The only way your going to get better is when you want to and you decide your going to face the fact that yes, going through withdrawals is going to be hell and recovering from addiction is lifelong but you only have to detox once. Remember that.
Good Luck.

You have admitted that you have a problem with prescription drugs. That is a very good thing to do. An addiction to prescription drugs is the same ideology as being addicted to other drugs. I think that you need to speak with your doctor that is prescribing these drugs. It is a very difficult thing to do but you have a very serious problem. He may suggest going into a substance abuse problem. The withdawal from any narcotic cold turkey could prove life-threatening. Did you ask your doctor for more oxycontin? Why did he not prescribe the narcotic. He may notice that your prescription oxycontin has been used more quicky than it should have.You really should ask for help withdrawing from oxycontin.He will be understanding but it is up to you to make that big step.

It doesn't sound like you have any pain so obviously you are just getting high. It must of cost you a fortune to get all to Ultram you were on? You say they weren't prescribed. No Dr. is going to just hand you a script for anything. You need to start off by calling hot lines to help you find out where there are re-habs in your area like NOW. Withdrawal from that amount of drugs can't be done alone, a re-hab can wean you off the crap. You don't say your age but don't sound like a teen. You need to get clean & sober. No pills No alcohol.
Don't mess around get in a re-hab and work your program.
Good luck

I agree with those who say to check in with doctor or detox clinic. Best to do this under medical supervision. They wont use oxy to assist a reduction regime, the best bet is suboxone which is a blocker, there are other drugs such as benzodiazapenes which may be used short term to assist with the anxiety & withdrawal symptoms.
You are not alone, my thoughts & support go out to you.

Your best bet is to have yourself admitted to an inpatient detox facility and/or rehab. There is extreme risk involved in waithdrawl from pharmadrugs (as well as alcohol). Please get in touch with a local crisis center - they can help you figure out where to go from here. Good luck.

go to your physician if you had rather not talk to him get another but i understand the drug you spoke of is very addictive,it is easy to get in and hard to get out of so you will need help talk to someone that can relate w/o being judgemental and can help do this before you run out of your meds explain to him you need to speak with him right now...luck to you and God Bless God is the answer
