withdrawal symptoms are nasty, maybe if the doctor was to slowly reduce the tablets it would help ?! I have been there so know exactly how you feel 
Me, Myself & I... Lower carb, fasting, real live foods

Been to the doc - she was very helpful! she said people don't realise how bad the withdrawal symptoms can be/ are!
The plan is to reduce each week.. I've been taking 2 tablets morning and night recently
So this week I start with 1 tablet morning and 2 evening of tramadol, plus co-drydamol 2 morning and evening to help with symptoms - I've also been given 400mg of Ibuprofen for bad migraines.
Week2: 1 tablet morn and night
Week3: 0 morning, 1 evening
Week4: 00000 none! Except co drydamol ..
Back to see her in a month.
So hope it works

Thanks, at least I know why I'm feeling so out of control.. The worst bit is that all I seem to want to eat is sweet carby stuff!
My weight is up even further today 86.7kgs - I know it just because of the carbs I've been eating.. Plus how much I've been eating too..
The way I feel at the moment is slightly depressed, irritated at myself, I seem to have lost motivation - I can't even be bothered to put my food into MFP .. So not like me!! I'm normally OTC about inputting my food/ exercise ..
I know that theses feeling are all mainly from withdrawal of Tramadol - but wow I have a month of these feelings if not longer to get through.. Almost enough to make me cry..
I just hope that I can get my mojo/ focus back once I get it out of my system! I know I will have to accept that I will prob have put weight on again! I really hate that thought!!

you will get through this. I went through withdrawal so bad that my doctor had to put me back on the lowest dose of the tablet (ciprager for panic attacks and depression) still on it now along with a different tablet in the evening. I found i was getting so angry and was taking it out on everyone around me including the kids then i would get upset and want to cry. Also had the shakes It will take time but you will start to feel better soon. x

I'm at least thankful that my trousers still fit the same, it my upper stomach - under boobs that's puffed up again.
Had a better day today - no bread, or potatoes .. Just a few other bits ..

I made a Xmas cake on Monday and managed to burn the bottom of it - it was black and at least 1 cm deep burnt.. Just had to put it in the bin.. Our big cat eats the birds if I put it out in the garden! I'm not sure they would have eaten it anyway lol
My new cake is made with, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/4 amaranth flour, 1/4 almond flour, 1/2 quinoa flour, 1/2 spelt flour, 1/4 chestnut flour.
Left the dried fruit in brandy and port at 50^ in the oven for a few hours to soak.
The cake smells nice, looks nice.. Lets hope it tastes good..

Went to bed with idea of going to kettlercise, woke up with not enough energy.. I think if I went when I feel like this - I would end up feeling worse. Lets hope by 7th jan that I feel back to my old self, if not better
