Since you have had abuse problems i think it's good to stop the tramadol, cause it's to light to be effective against the urge to take opiates.
I have sort of the same problems as you and i am very well now and have been for about three months.I take:
15mg of methadone, to target my ocd problems and to stop my urge for opiates.
I think that subutex is ineffective when it comes to that, because it stops working after 5 days.
When you're an addict, you need things that works every day, and always gives an effect.I've been on 15mg of methadone for 60 days now and i get effects every(!) morning from that small dose, and it has done wonders for my social anxiety and ocd. I do NOT think that you have to take 70-140mg of methadone for it to work, i very much don't.
And i take 2mg of clonazepam at the evening (20.00 8pm).
And 10mg of memantine right after i dosed clonazepam.Memantine reverse opiate tolerance and since i've been taking it, i feel my methadone every day as it was my firts day on it (okey, maybe 5th day but anyway not 60th day.)
I have just taken memantine for 10 days but for me it has been so so very good, i can't describe it.
I think people who has been addicted to drugs need pretty strong medications that you "feel" effects from.
You can read my memantine journal if you want to know more, it is on psychobabble.
So,
15mg methadone in the morning.
2mg clonazepam at the evening
10mg memantine at the evening (going up to 20 and then i will see if i want to raise it further).Memantine in my opinion is good for stopping drug seeking behaviour, or urge, what you want to call it.
Kind regards / J
