I have never had a seizure though and I took Tramaol for 20 days about a year ago & never had a seizure from it. Has anyone been in this same situation I'm in? Withdrawal and taking Tramadol to ease it? No I cannot go to a doc at this time. No money, no insurance so I cant just walk into a hospital or doc office at this time. So that isn't an option for me.

And mainly when that 10th day comes will the withdrawals be gone or will i still have to deal with some W D symptoms?Please if you don't intend on answering this question do not post anything such as " you shouldn't even be taking pills" or " Go to your doctor" I've heard all this before and trust me I'm more than aware that taking pills is wrong and dangerous So don't even think about posting a comment if it's not an answer to the question I Posted. I'm not asking " what to do" I'm asking will my plan work.
