Coming off vicodin and don't want to withdraw, can ultram get me through this? How many do I need I to take? Will I feel high on enough ultram 50mg???

Ultram Can help with the withdrawals, but you will not feel high. It's just going to make it a little easier for you.
Here is what I suggest to get you over the worst part of the withdrawals.
To help with the withdrawals take hot bathes with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. The skin is the biggest organ of elimination and this will help pull out the drugs. Use a loofa to clean the pores and this will help pull the drugs out even faster.
I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day and 2c. a day of fresh carrot juice, to flush the medicine out of your liver. Taking 500mg of calcium and magnesium twice a day will help you to relax.
Drink chamomile tea throughout the day and evening to help you stay relaxed.
Use a powdered fiber supplement twice daily to pull the drugs out of your intestines where they store.
Two of the questionnaires in this forum did follow this program to withdraw from drugs and it did help. I've enclosed a link where you can read their response to this program.
If you have any further questions please let me know,

I don't know how long you were on Opiates and I would not depend on Ultrum at all. Listen, There are many,many good medicines,Naltrexone for one that stop the craving and what your feeling.I just said today that I felt like I cheated because when I went off all the crap I was on,I didn't feel anything.ER's are used to this.That's what you need.It can be dangerous to come down alone on something. I had to tell many people,but I found an addiction specialist.If it wasn't for him I'd be dead.
Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used primarily in the management of alcohol dependence and opioid dependence. It is marketed in generic form as its hydrochloride salt, naltrexone hydrochloride, and was formerly marketed using the trade name Revia. In some countries, an extended-release formulation is marketed under the trade name Vivitrol. It should not be confused with naloxone, which is used in emergency cases of overdose rather than for longer term dependence control.
If you go for help the chances of going back are slim to none.But,when we try it alone,chances are within 6 months...
Call a 1800 help just to talk.ask them that question..This is your life,and it can be easier than you think.
