What do you do when pain medications become less effective?

I tried gradually reducing the amount of Tramadol I was taking. It was going okay for a few days…and then the pain ramped up to the point where I had to go back to the previous amount. Is that a typical withdrawal symptom? And, how do you get past it?

Yes for me the pain was bad and so was the withdrawal. My brain had to learn how to receive pain messages and I had to figure out how to deal with pain. I will say my pain has lessened for most of the time, altho I do have my bad days. It was hell going thru withdrawal as I was physically ill AND I hurt. It was tough for about 2 weeks then it became more bearable. I was not aware that it was dangerous for me to go off Fentanyl without medical supervision. So make sure you talk it over with your medical team.
I also had a plan to deal with the pain....imagery and music. I also started the AIP diet.....autoimmune protocol diet. I had so much to change but in the end, it's been worth it.
