Shameand pain,
I tapered off Ultram and Ambien. The WD was much easier than off Vicoden which I did last year before I switched to Ultram. I still had the WD symptoms but they weren't as strong. Sometimes I think the mental part is harder to go through. Funny thing as I was on Ultracet and when I read your post I went to my bottles(more than 1) to see if that was a generic name so I could advise you correctly. And I actually didn't want to take 1 or even see the bottles. I remember all too well counting pills, and being a slave to them.
Yesterday I actually woke up smiling, something I hadn't done in years. My energy level is coming back and I am seeing everything as new and fresh. It's worth doing! Keep strong and post often. There are such great people on these boards that will always be there to help and support you.
Post to me if you have any further questions. I will help you any way I can.
Your Friend,
