Tramadol withdrawal refers to the symptoms experienced when detoxing from a drug, as the brain and body adjust to not having it in the system anymore. Opioid withdrawal can be painful, uncomfortable, and even unbearable. It is a very common reason that people relapse when trying to stop using any opioid, including tramadol. Opioid withdrawal can cause:
Anxiety and agitation
Muscle pain
Tearing in the eyes
Excessive sweating
Runny nose
Excessive yawning
Insomnia
As withdrawal progresses, more symptoms emerge that are even more uncomfortable: cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, goosebumps, and chills. Withdrawal can last for a few days, and without supervision it is very easy to relapse during this period. Professional support during detox helps manage symptoms, provide relief, and prevent relapse so that ongoing treatment can begin shortly after this.
