Hi Jazzy how are you today?????mj
Hi Kerry,
I don't know about Ultram withdrawals, unfortunately. Glad you haven't lost your sense of humor though! And congrats on the 6 days . . .M.

Hey, are you sure? I can only speak from personal experience, of course, but I never experienced anything at all from ultram or anything else after a week. Is it possible that you tapered enough that you really didn't have much w/d? I can't imagine it bothering you all of a sudden at this point. Maybe you're just nervous or anticipating w/d. But hey, I could most certainly be wrong, everybody is different. If there was one thing I just hated, it was coming off ultram. I always felt it by the second and third day, but if I tapered considerably it wasn't very bad. No way to know for sure with you, but I hope this is what happened. Love, Kat
Both of you are so much stronger than me after about 12hrs with no ultram I caved and couldn't deal.At least now I don't feel as if theres a wild animal inside me ripping me up.I am just going to keep up the tapering and with the support from here and my great family(girls and boyfriend)I will slowly get down to at least what is prescibed.....mj
Molly, I know that animal too well...
Kat, who knows...my hands are shaking, it is getting better...I can type much better now.
Molly, I had the leg cramps last week...not really bad, though. I just don't want to take any pills, my back hurts, but it always does, and it is manageable..
I just remember the days on end where I would wake up and realize that I hadn't taken any medication for a while..a sweet feeling of victory..and want that back. When I was taking the ultramm, I couldn't feel that..I think they call that sobriety?
Kat, what were your symptoms?
None, I hope that noone takes that the wrong way....just a little addict humor...it was the only withdrawl symptom I could think of...LOL...

Kerry, I used to get the shaking when I withdrew from percs, it usually went away after a few hours, course I usually took a klonopin to help me relax.
Hope you feel better.

Hope you feel better.

Either way little beach and even though I don't really know you I mean what I say with all my heart about being so proud of you.....mj
thanks john...how are you doing?
and molly, aren't you down to 10?
One of the things that I have learned in this mess is that you have to get the part of you that wants off very strong because the other parts will come in and throw you plenty of reasons why you should keep using..

Yes Kerry I am down to 10 I realize that doesn't seem like I'm doing better but for me 10 is something I'm proud of.I really think it was all the support I've gotten from here that got me this far.....mj
Hey, w/d off ultram was pretty similar to coming off opiates. I used to bounce back and forth alot. Use ultram so not to w/d off opiates, use opiates so not to w/d off ultram. When I tapered off ultram (which I tried very hard to do) it really wasn't bad at all. Upset stomach, nervousness, a bit of restless leg (I always hated that worst of all), but all of those symptoms usually started almost right away. At the very least by the second day. I found that with decent tapering ultram had very little w/d for me. I would go down one a day. 5 a day, 4 the next, 3 and so on. The last two days I'd try to take one a day. As long as I managed that it was easy. But oh boy, coming off alot minus the tapering.....sheer misery. So from what you've told me, I think you made it. Now you can be like me and be one of those people who say "hey, that wasn't too bad" lol. Love, Kat
Dear Kat How I wish I will be able to say that someday.I know I'm more determined this time than ever before so I have a real chance of concering this demon that has my soul....mj
Kat, I don't want to do that rollercoaster...with the vics it happened right away..I had the nervousness (not really something new..lol...I am a nervous wreck anyway..) leg thing and stomach ache..but it wasn't that bad..I was trying not to take alot of those little ultramms...so maybe that is why.
Molly, you should be proud...that is great..you're on your way....remember that song from Shrek, wasn't it?

You will be there. Don't let today be the only measure of tomorrow. You can create a new tomorrow. It is not easy, but it is not easy to live the lives we do while using either. I'm opting for the recovery road, headache, leg pain, moodiness and all
