Those taking tramadol should really avoid quitting without being slowly weaned from the substance as the withdrawal is severe so other than a moderate re-introduction with a slow titration off the tramadol your withdrawal will have to run its course.

It should stop soon. I have experienced withdrawl from much stronger pain killers and they lasted approximately a week. Tramadol is very mild, so it should be over soon.

I have to disagree with taytay...I understand that much stronger opiates/opioid would appear to cause stronger withdrawals, but Tramadol is hell. I was on narcotics, heavy doses for years, and withdrawal from mega-doses of Percocet and Hydrocodone 10's was easier then Tramadol,I have no idea why, actually I do. Tramadol contains Snri properties, perhaps as a addiction deterrent or something, who knows. Anyway, I have taken them for years and I attend a chronic hurting help group with several people that take it. Whether you have taken moderate to high doses (200mg-400mg daily) for an extended period of time, the cold-turkey method can kill you, or make you want to kill yourself. Were not talking approximately 48-72 hours, were talking approximately weeks. I'm talking approximately either wean off slowly, or go to detox, like a behavioral health center for a supervised detox. I am not exaggerating the power of this beast of a tablet. I love it, it makes me all comfy and fuzzy headed, but I went to Alabama for a few days and left it domestic, the native pharmacy argued with me and would not hook me up, so after a few nights I had to come home. It got baaad. I got the chills and lost my appetite and had a pounding headache. Email me whether you want to, but I can tell you first hand, the only way to stop is by lowering the doses slowly until your down to 12.5mg daily, which is half of a half. Any pharmacy will tell you the same thing.
