Hi Emily Thanks for your reply .Youll laugh, the side effects from the Prednisone for me is Hyperactivity and I am eating everything in the House, on the way to work ,back home.It is unreal. I get horrible spasms still so I don't really know what to think. I do believe that some swelling is gone though.I will gain 50 pounds before I m done with these on Mon. Take care ....j

just wanted to say thanks for the reply..... and for your encouragement and inspiration....so glad i found this site and your posts. I mean, it only took about 20 clicks after entering a search for "tramadol withdrawal". (The first 19 wanted to sell me some more.....greedy pharmaceutical pirate bastards) Talk to you soon. BW

Just a quick note to say hi! I am glad you are doing well .Thanks for your inspiration.The doc still is trying to get me to take Tram.I told him I get side effects ,severe headaches,that I am now allergic to them.He can't ethically prescribe something that makes me ill.Of course now he is trying Prednisone for inflammation,so we'll see about that.I don't know where thing are gonna go.I will need to pay for an MRI,out of empty pockets The 20 dollar a month club I guess. Take care!JSBM

Just a quick note to say hi! Just read some of your Journal and you are doing AMAZINGLY WELL and know you will be able to kick to klonapin soon too. I am taking soma and a little valium in the evening but know I need to begin to taper off them b/c of my little addictive personality. Trying so hard to be optimistic and find happiness in all the little things that I always take for granted. I am so glad you were not hurt in this recent fender bender. You really are so very good with words and wish I could meet you in person Emily You have a great sense of humor and so happy to have found you on this forum! Hope to hear from you soon! Annie

Hello EP. Just checking in to say 'hello', thank you again for being there for me, and to wish you well with your K-taper. I'm still doing well and tramadol free. Three cheers for the restoration of normal life!! I'll never forget your out-reached hand of friendship or your inspired writings that lit the path for my own escape. You will always be in my prayers.

Hi Emily, I have been on klonipin for 10 years now. At first the md put me on 3 - 1mg tabs a day. I weaned myself down to 1 mg. Three years ago I tried to wean off of that and wanted to jump out a window, the w/d were insane. I'm still at 1 now but it controlls my anxiety for now. Keep up the good work girl!! I'm so proud of you!

Hi Emily, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your honestness and openness in your posts. You have really given me the courage to make it work this time. I know it's hard, and I'm not the only one that goes through it. I look forward to any updates you can give us on how your doing. Good or bad, helps us all realize we are normal, and what we are going thru is normal. and what couts is, if you fall, you get back up and try again. :) thank you again

You're in my thoughts all the time, but especially today. Hello emily! I'm elated to know that you're still going strong with staying clean. Keep up the awesome efforts because they will payoff. Once all of this is behind you you wil have your life back and you will have complete control; which would a fabulous blessing. You take care and I apologize for being gone for so long but I needed some me time to get myself together because my girlfriend had really drained me emotionally and I needed to recharge.

Hope you feel better soon! I've not seen you around for a couple of days girl and just wanted to say "hey" and hope that you're feeling a little better. I always wanted to say thank you for reaching out to me a little over a week ago. . .today is Day 9 for me and I am feeling so much better. I wish you were too. Just remember that this can only get better and try you're very hardest to remain strong, as crappy as that is sometimes. (((Hugs)))

Dear Emily, Thanks for your reply, it has given me hope! I have been to my GP, and the upshot is she has put me back on Tramadol straight away with the idea of a tapering programme. I feel so depressed I cannot tell you. My wife has left me because of my mood swings. I don't blame her. My world is falling apart. Anthony

Hello EP. I'm sorry you're in pain, but also to know you have a plan!! I can't wait to hear about it. I can tell normal will return eventually, but it certainly is a journey with progress made little-by-little. I know that you know what I'm talking about!
