I did take the tramadol. I have no regrets about it, either, as it didn’t produce ANYTHING other than relief for me. I have thrown the remainder away just in case. I had to do what I had to do, and I am sorry if others think that taking the tramadol was wrong. I have no regrets about it, and I would like others to know that it does wonders to relieve the aches and pains of withdrawal. It won’t get you high. Suboxone raises ones tolerance to the point where ultram/tramadol would have no effect unless you were reckless enough to push boundaries with the seizure threshold.
I know it’s a bad idea to supplement any other opiate, regardless of how weak it may be, but sometimes, unfortunately, it may be necessary. If anyone else needs to ever use tramadol to relieve withdrawal symptoms, then two to three of them are plenty. Don’t exceed that amount unless absolutely necessary.
Anyway, I appreciate the thoughts, and am very thankful for this forum today also. I might have caved and gone down a darker road if it weren’t for other people who have been in my position talking some sense into me. If you think that I was wrong for what I did, then I at least hope you can understand why. I don’t like to think that I’m a better addict than anyone else. Or a worse one. We all have this common experience, and we should draw from that experience to support and not judge. Thank you all for doing that for me. I really appreciate it. I was thrilled to see that anyone cared enough to respond to me. You all really helped me through this without harming myself. Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I may have compromised my sobriety. I’m so happy that I could enjoy watching the Packers keep up their winning streak:) Great day, really, it was.
