Suggest Ways To Wean Off Tramadol
I have been on tramadol for about four months and would like to get off of it. I had been taking a 50 mg dosage 3 times daily. For the past three days I have been taking 25 mg three times daily. How long should I continue to take the 25 mg? Do I have to go to a lower dosage after that?

hi
tramadol is a painkiller you dont have to taper of the dose to stop it.
if your symptoms for which you have been taking it has reduced then you can just stop it and you will have no withdrawal effects.
would suggest dont take it for a long time as it has side effects.
hope to have answered your query
thanks and takecare.
