Not really the same thing. You can safely call your pharmacy, or any pharmacy, and ask any question without telling them your name. Do not say that you are dependent on vicodin, as they will not want to discuss this issue.You can quit taking vicodin completely, it is not very difficult, just takes about two days. If you stop completely, the side effects are not too bad. Tramadol is same *** Ultram and has bad side effects, especially seizures. You should not substitute one with another, as this will not help you to achieve your goal of decreasing dependency.Honest about this: Try eating beef jerky in place of the pills, you will be surprised.

Don't know if I'm too late. In the same boat and short answer is yes - you can use tramadol as a replacement for Vicodin. It won't be the same - and you will get some of the effects - but it will let you sleep at night. I know for a fact that that is an extreme relief for me...

No. do NOT use trammadol. its will cause withdrawl symptoms to occur, and increase. I was taking it for 7 months, and JUST stopped a few days ago. I am now going throgy massive withdralws and its horrible. Quitting vicodin cold turkey is much safer, and will cause less withdrawl. Talk to your doc!!
