Does anyone know if i was on 200mg of tramadol twice daily for about 1.5 years. How long can it stay in your system i have been off it for about 4 weeks but still having symptoms of withdrawal mainly the feverish sickly feeling and headaches and hot flushes and bit depressed and irratable. BEFORE PEOPLE TELL ME TO GO TO THE DOCTOR I DID AND GOT BLOODS DONE
 
I have the same problem with Oxycontin. I need it for pain relief for a perianal fistula. There was a point in time last year where I didn't need any pain relief at all so I decided to stop, cold turkey. Bad idea...
I have been on Oxy for the last 2 years and when I stopped I had severe restless leg syndrome and could not sleep. I went for 2 weeks without sleep before I decided to take an Oxy. Within an hour I had the best sleep ever.
If you have been on your medication for a long time the best way to come off it is if you wane yourself off slowly. Maybe drop it by 50mg at a time over a few weeks/months until your body can cope without it anymore. I personally am still on Oxycontin & Oxycodone for my pain, and am hoping that my fistula heals soon so I can get off these toxic drugs!
Good luck with your struggles.
 
Did you taper off or go off cold turkey? I was on a low dose of 50 mg for a while, but even with that, my doctor wanted me to go down to a half a tab for a week before going off completely. But I was on it for months, not years. I'm not sure of the effects after that long. I believe any medication takes a while to wean off, so hopefully under your doctor's care you'll begin to feel better soon. What you are going through sounds miserable.
 
I was on Norco 10/325 for many years. I order for me to come off them I had to go into the hospital Detox. I NEVER used more than the Dr. said to use but after a long time using then it was hell to come off of.

It took about 2 months after stoping to feel good again. I have used then just a few times since but stop a week ago and don't want to use them again.
