Hi, Sooo pleased to have found you all on here. I've been on a cocktail of meds including tramadol for years due to a back injury. I am 6wks pregnant and tried the cold turkey using co-codymol instead, however....... Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!!! I list it big style last night and this morning, totally went mad and couldn't cope at all. I've ended up taking tramadol again, and am now continuing with it until I see the midwife and ob consultant. It can not possibly be good for my baby to experience how I felt today! Has anyone else tried to stop and had to restart? Anyone in the uk?

I tried many times to quit and the wd's were so awful I just could not do it. I cut down to about 4 pills per day during the 1st trimester and went back up to 8-10 during the 2nd and 3rd. My baby came 4 weeks early so I never cut down again before delivery. I am sitting here feeding him now. He is healthy as can be.

If you're pregnant and keep using Tramadol, you're risking a miscarriage or having your baby born with birth defects. Every woman is different though and what goes for one doesn't have apply to another.
Tramadol can also cause impaired fertility.
I see you asked this question over a year ago so I hope you and your baby are fine!
(Been using Tramadol for 2.5 years, 300mg/day so I've asked my GP lots of questions about everything Tramadol)

*doesn't have to apply to another
P.S. Ladies! NEVER try to quit Tramadol on your own!

Im 12 weeks pregnant and Im addicted to Tramadol I am currently trying to ween myself off of it. This has proven to be really rough. I came across this page and i must say it was a relief to know I am not alone in this struggle. I am currently on day 3 of taking one a day the withdraws are still coming just not as bad as they were when i attempted cold turkey. I just wanted to thank everyone that has shared their story because you have really help give me strength to do this. I have given up cigarettes and even caffeine but Tramadol just seems to have an evil hold. I know its going to be rough for a bit I mean after taking anything for over 3yrs straight for a herniated disc its going to be hard to come off of. I wish the doctor would have done better research and i would have too before starting this. I will be sure to post an update on how I am doing coming off of Tramadol and how the baby is doing again ladies thank you for posting your stories you have really been a sorce of strength for me in a battle that feels so lonely
