How long do tramadol withdrawal symptoms last?

[mrut923]

I stopped using tramadol cold turkey (after heavy use for about a month) about 3 and a half weeks ago and I have no more actual "withdrawals" but I still feel severly depressed. I was not nearly this depressed before I started using tramadol. The week after I stopped I had thoughts of suicide, the depression was so bad. So how much longer is this depression supposed to last?

Anyone have any insight on this?
