I have been taking tramadol for pain in my shoulder, knee and for a large toe joint replacement. I have been on these pills for over 11 years now and was taking up to 300 mg twice daily. I want off of them due to the terrible side effects. Recently I decided to put these pills down cold turkey and currently am on my 5th day with no tramadol. Needless to say this has not been anywhere near pleasant and I am begging someone to give me an answer for the restless legs. They are just relentless in these last 5 days I have slept about 6 hours but lack of sleep has benefitted some plumbing fixtures that needed updating LOL. Today problem is severe cramping and uncontrollable diarreah. Could someone give me a clue about the duration of this withdrawal process PLEASE
thanks
