I congratulate you on your decision to change. Your battle is almost won____but there is still a lot to be done.

Now, tramadol is very addictive (which you already know) but it's addiction is easier to stop compared to other terrible opioids. You actually have to fight for 14 days.

The truth? It will only be worse on day 2 to day 5. From day 6 to day 14, cravings would have reduced.

I guess, you are not working at the moment so stopping it will not he hard.

Step 1: Destroy every stash you have, including the hidden ones.
Step 2: Buy some apples, lemon, watermelon etc
Step 3: Tell your mother your decision to stop it and that in line with this, you will not be leaving the house for the next 7 days. (Accountability is important)
Step 4: Get your bible, a notebook and pen. You will use the opportunity to draw close to God, asking for help and strength. Also take the time to reflect o your life and strategies the steps to get your apartment in the next 6 months, get a job, learn a skill and get back your life. Download pictures of your successful class mates, agemates even younger ones for positive anger and motivation.

Day 1: By 9 AM, you will feel some craving but it will stop since you took the last day. By afternoon, you will feel a stronger craving.
Your head will feel abnormal. There will be anxiety. Zero joy. Bad mood., Anger etc. Just bare. Eat and sleep. Try to eat that food that makes you sleep.

Day 2: You will want to take it. Dont fail.
Day 3: Will be mild and still terrible. Just try to sleep.

if you don't take it, by day 14, craving would have reduced. Withdrawal symptoms mostly gone. At this time it is your discipline and diligence that will help you.

Goodluck!

If you need to talk to someone when the symptoms become unbearable, just DM.

I wont judge you. I have been there before.
God bless you sir, I wish everyone is as supportive as you are. Much respect

I was introduced to Tramadol in 2015 because I complained to him that I wasn’t lasting long during sex. So he prescribed Tm to me. At first I hated the feeling I just took it because it really helped with the early ejaculation.

Fast forward to 2020; I am now fully attended to this evil, it is now holding me by my neck, choking me . But I cannot seem to let go.

Tramadol has taken a lot from me; My pride, my focus, my Looks, my health, my family and most importantly my finances. I have had serious seizures that nearly took my life with my family members as witness. Now they know my situation and they are indeed very disappointed in me.

I had another seizure yesterday but the worst part of it is that it wasn’t only the seizure, I was acting demented with my clothes off. I take nothing less than 1500mg daily.

It has ruined everything because just calculate how much I have to spend for this evil everyday. For example I didn’t miss one last year 2024. It seems am now powerless to this evil. I cannot hustle anymore, I just want to take Tramadol and just lock myself indoors, all my friends have left me behind but am still living with my mum at age 31. Indeed am tired. Am really tired

I need help to stop this. I have prayed, I have tried everything. It’s not working. Please has anyone been in the situation before?? Please help me!!!!!
Better come to Yaba Neuropsychiatric Hospital and detoxify.
Detoxification is the initiation of abstinence while managing withdrawal symptoms.

I am an addict too and I started in 2015 as well. Presently I take atleast 6 200mg tablets everyday. It’s very expensive but it’s a must buy for me.


I hate it and I want to stop but I can’t, I had my first seizure four months ago and almost died, took 12 tablets unknowingly within two hours (it’s a long story).

I have a family that depend on me so I can’t go sit in rehab for now, the last time I tried rehab was in 2022 and they said the cost is 500k per month for 6 months. I will stay there for six months.

Those saying you should try and stop it if you put your mind to it bla bla doesn’t really know what you are talking about. They don’t. Those who said they used and stopped maybe they used for some months or weeks and tried and stopped it but this is the tenth year I have started using it and I am 100% sure you need to goto a rehab if not you can never stop.

You can’t stop it on your own. I wish we can share numbers. I have been looking for people who has similar problems and their experiences.

I will be entering rehab very soon. It’s a must now cos the dose keeps increasing, I can take 4 tablets at a go and my body will handle it. See? That’s bad.


I wish you the best. God willing I will look for this post and comment of my progress next month.

Email me; ridreez@ymail.com. I wish I can leave my number here. I’m 35 and I can’t live without it, started using when a card was 30 naira now it’s 8k per card and I buy two cards in three days. Do the calculations in a month. I need help and I need it fast.

I’m sorry to hear this, but the good thing is you acknowledge you need help.
Philippians 4:13 is like dynamite. Cry to the great deliverer, Jesus , to help you overcome. You are already a winner and an overcomer.
Please shuuut up. Just read and learn. Most comments here is so annoying. Must you guys comment on everything? Even things you know nothing about.

He needs rehab not Jesus. He needs to be monitored by a professional and his dosage carefully monitored daily till he is finally ok and this will take months.

Sorry if m harsh.

Myrepublic:
Why you go say TM small to be addicted to? That shit is fvcking addictive.

Once it wants to ruin you,then you will start feeling empty without taking it. You feel like you are sick or something missing in you.

I will advise op to stop taking it. Even if that feeling of emptiness or being sick comes. Just treat malaria and look into natural method of lasting long during sex when you are married. Avoid premarital sex.

And don't forget that the girl you are trying to last long for, doesn't take anything to last long for you. When she is satisfied you go stand up,no matter what you took. And you will also be the one spending to make her comfortable. So you are endangering your health and wasting your resources on someone who doesn't care about you. If you check well,she has many other boyfriends. So why kill yourself to last long on her?

Do push ups,eat fruits and drink plenty water daily. Add ginger and garlic to your meals regularly. Avoid sugar and sugary stuffs.

Start a Bible church. Join a department,that will always make you be more concerned about things of the kingdom.

I needed to advise you all round,na why I bring the sex thing inside. Leave sex until you are married. Cux majorly na these yeye girls with endless body counts dey push una to go dey take rubbish.
You are comedian. Please read about tm again.

papyjaypaul:
@ topic before I got distracted with cousin and bro, the truth about addiction, any addiction is that if we want to stop something, only us have the power to do so. That willpower comes from within and no one else can boost us. It may hurt loved ones but no one is as hurt as yourself and as they say, you can't give what you don't have. If you don't love YOURSELF, how do you love othershuh

Take care of yourself first. You know when to stop, it's the trigger you are waiting for. Sometimes, it takes the loss of someone for people to wake up but think about it, how do you become sober because someone else died? Doesn't that make you feel guilty even when you stop the addiction? Stand up for yourself in this world, if the rest of the world is not good, try to be that good person and if the world don't care, take care of yourself first.
You got schooled, cousin bro...

yea, just googled it. It's in the same zone as ibuprofen
Nope, they are not on the same zone
Tramadol is an opiod while ibuprofen is not. It is an NSAID.
Opiods are addictive and causes euphoria.

Tramadol... I nearly got addicted to that thing last year... I got it as a prescription from the doctor and at first, I also hated the feeling after taking it... Hallucinations, dizziness, feeling hot, constipation, having stomach cramps whenever I was hungry... I eventually stopped taking it because I couldn't deal with all those side effects.

But something happened and I had to resume taking it again, but this time I noticed that it was giving me this energy I didn't have before and I'd be hyperactive and at peace with myself... It became my coping mechanism for a while until I ran out of the pills.

It was only when I found myself begging for one more pill that I realised that I needed to stop before it was too late... I've heard how addictive it could become and I'm glad I was able to restrain myself while there was still time... So I wish you all the best in fighting the addiction.
Yeeeee.....you too?

bro commit small crime and go to prison you will have no access to that shit.
Or go to one small remote village and live for like 6months
May God heal you
Lol bros going to small village won't help because that addiction is like a spirit that will connect the person to where he or she will have access to it or the person won't know how he fly back to the city just to take it. The best is to enroll into rehabilitation centre.
Re: Help!!! I Am A 31-Year-Old Struggling With Tramadol Addiction!! by God2man2again(m): 6:22am On Jan 30, 2025
I will only recommend that you go for spiritual counseling, you need to see somebody who is taller than you in the spirit not just any Pastor, the person could be a deliverance minister, evangelist, prayer warrior or very sound Bishop, then go deliverance hard prayers, you can purchase MFM books, there is one called, Prayer rain, when you open it, you look for your areas of need and start praying.

Visit rehab center

Just stop using everyday.

Tm is too small to be addicted to na walahi.. Tm no be drug again na 🤷, Tramadol na crap. Too harsh.

Dont use everyday, 1500mg is too much normally na, you wan die.

Na because you dey use am everyday na him make your "credit score" high reach 1500mg kiloode...

Try to dey use 1 day ON, 2/3 days OFF till your "credit score" reduce. Rinse and repeat.

Again, TM is a crappy drug. Like the lowest of the low. Nobody rates a TM addict.
which drug do people rate?

I think bad leadership leads to so many bad things. I was there too from 2017, during the heat of Buhari induced hardship. It was initially coping mechanism to deal with hardship, as it makes forget you troubles and gives this chilling happy feeling. But before I knew it, it started serving as an aphrodisiac, giving me extraordinary energy and stamina to last really long in bed. Actually, most men are in trouble. This phenomenal of lasting long in bed to impress sexual partner is an illusive path to self-destruction. It can drive us faster to early grave, causing addiction really hard to stop! TM is like a benevolent enemy you can't do without. Even after I secured a good job, became very busy and engaged, I would still go back to it from time to time due to that sexual stamina and thrill it gives. But Tm is so dangerous that it prompts one into recklessness and unprotected sexual behavior, which can expose one to STIs and HIV. One day, I simply stopped and destroyed every dose on me. My heart goes out to you OP. At least, coming out publicly to reject it, is a second step, as you 'd first come true to yourself. It's now time to quit. Rehab can be helpful especially when you hear the stories of other survivors like you. Sincere stories of TM survivors shared on you this platform are actually good encouragement for you to begin to stop. You can actually simply stop and courageously battle with the few days of harmless withdrawal syndrome. And then you'll be freed from it. All you need to do now is to simply STOP taking TM! I wish you well.

Chai... I pray God heals Ur addiction. I was using trams back in 2015/16 regularly mostly for the fvck of it and I got really hooked although I never liked the morning after feeling I still wouldn't stop it but one thing about me no matter how I use something it never controls me. It's rather the other way round. So I'm always able to put a complete stop. TM had it's last use on my system when I was faced with a very big juicy yansh and tight kuntus in a hotel room and I couldn't perform because of overuse.

But U seem to be controlled by it so I pray U find strength and a real reason to quit it and going by Ur story there's enough reasons except U no value Ur life sha.
Una dey try o.

I take TM but not the way you guys described. I started taking it since 2015 too. And I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. The highest I have ever taken is 200mg and that's whenever I wanna last real long. Mind you, I only take it when I wanna have sex not on a daily basis. Meaning, I most often take it once a week.
