A member asked:
Specifically what is the protocol for coming off tramadol ? i heard clonidine was an option ? clonidine-how much and for how long ? and benzos ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tramadol: Abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal. However the best way is to do a gradual dose reduction every 2 weeks. In my experience all patients have been successfully weaned off this way without the need of the medications you mentioned.
