Hello everyone! I am new to this forum & new to using forums at all. I came across yours & I am looking for advice and opinions from anyone who is willing to give me a little of their time. Anyway, I wanted to find someone who is educated & experienced with opiates and suboxone. I started taking Vicodin recreationally when I was a freshmen in college. My bf, at the time, introduced me to them. He is now in rehab & I am 3 yrs into a relationship with someone else. Ops ruined my past relationship. We started doing 30mg roxys almost everyday. Sometimes 3 in a day. I had to stop in order to get into nursing school, which i am halfway done but currently taking a break from school until i can be free from suboxone. The kicker for me.. was that i never actually went to the dr for sub. i was getting them from people I knew that sold them or just didnt take them. Stupid, I know.. So long story short, I've been hooked on sub for about 2 years & today, I am currently 3 days without suboxone. I've tried kicking sub so many times but I would get the cold sweats & fever so bad I always end up caving due to wanting to basically crawl out of my skin!! Recently, someone offered me 15 tramadol tabs that are 50mg. They said it would help me kick sub with minimal Wd symptoms, so i figured why not give it a try. i have no reason to be on sub anymore! So Day 1 of no sub I took 3 of them,3 the second day, & today, 3 also. I feel no wd symptoms at all& I'm going to kind of "ween" off the tramadol. So starting tomorrow ill take 2 for 2 days then only 1 pill for 2 more days, then nothing after that!Do you have any experience or info on this? I'm scared to death that it's just going to be the same when I finish the tram but maybe this is the answer. Who knows! I apologize for the length of this post, I just really agreed with previous posts & would love your opinion since I'm new to this & new to trying the tram to kick sub. Thanks for your time! -R
