I have been on 200mg of Tram. for a year. I have cut my dosage to 100mg. I feel I am ready to cut my dosage some more. How do I do that with an ER tablet. I have some 50mg tablets. could I switch to them and take one at breakfast and one at dinner for the first while and then go to one 50mg a day when I think I'm ready. Do you think this is a good plan when on ER tablets?

Hi Jack F,
I think your plan is brilliant !! That is the smartest way to go with Tramadol, a slow taper. If you quit cold turkey it increases your chance of having a siezure. That does NOT mean that you would have a siezure if you quit cold turkey!! But tapering is the wisest choice indeed.
Best wishes to you, and if you have any problems come back and let us know!!
