I would be grateful for any info on how to wean myself off tramadol, as I understand it has rather nasty side effects. Many thanks

You need to do this with the guidance of your GP Firman . I wouldn't advise trying to do it on your own, it's a nasty drug to come off. Take care of yourself and let us know how you get on.

I really think you cannot do this without consulting your GP. There are quite strict guide lines for reducing some meds especially Tramadol...Wish you all the best though, let us know how you get on...x

I agree with others our friend, docs guidance coz we don,t know you nor your dosage,withdrawal can be nasty if you go too fast on the other hand too slowly you,'ll never get off them!! Are u going to try something else in the near future?? I good luck with it

Hi my friend

I also agree with the others as it is quite important that coming off any drug of this nature is supported by your medial professional. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you
