You know, Im not criticizing, but when you are detoxing from hydro using Ultram, thats not really detoxing. Thats just replacing one med for another. Yes, ultram is non-narcotic, but has the same properties and quiets those same receptors that are firing off due to withdrawl. Of course I always use Ultram when out of hydro, but its not detoxing! It is just another way to give your body a little break without having to suffer. Detoxing is when you take a total vacation, but I have found that when I have done that, my tolerance comes back quickly anyways, so why stop if you don't have to. If the hydro isn't working and you have a legitimate medical problem, go to a doctor and ask for a longer acting med. That will take care of the problem better than starting and stopping. In my opinion, that puts too much stress on your body.
