Hi everyone :wave:

I had a quick question for y'all. I took my last pill Sunday night (it's Thursday now) and have been taking ultram for my regular pain and the w/d symptoms. I have not suffered much like I have in the past, but then maybe that's because this time I am choosing not to take the hydro, instead of experiencing the suffering while waiting on a delayed shipment or something. The anxiety of the waiting DEFINITELY increases w/d pain.

I had been sleeping well until last night - kept waking up every 15 minutes. Then this morning I was wakened by bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. My stomach still feels like it is churning and I just feel yuck. Is this like a delayed withdrawal symptom or something unrelated that just happened to pop up now and I'm pinning the blame on w/d? Does this happen with regular ultram use? What if you stop taking the ultram? Are the w/d's the same as hydro? Any info will be appreciated!

Ultram is not as powerful as hydro but does stick to the receptors in your brain longer so that is why the w/d's are delayed. It doesn't sound like you have been taking the ultram that long though....

I think you are probably are experincing delayed withdrawl. A couple of months ago I tried going off Ultram and had similar results. After a couple of days you feel REALLY bad. But it doesn't seem like you were taking them for very long to begin with. I had been on them for almost a year straight. So I am not sure, but most likely it is delayed withdrawl.
