For a first time trying tramadol what would be a good recreational dosage for an average weight/height person? New to it and would like to both have a safe time while taking enough to not waste my time. Thanks!
 
id say <200mg and youll have nothing to worry about. but it would probably be best to have someone else confirm that as i have only tried tramadol a couple times, all of which occurred when i had a moderate tolerance.

i mean, they come in 37.5 and 50mg right? so take 2-3 maybe 4, i doubt anything would go wrong if you stay under 200

I've got 50s. Would you even get a worthwhile buzz off of 50-100?
 
Yes, but tramadol also has SNRI properties, its a strange drug. Some get great effects, others hate it.
It also lowers seizure threshold, so do not mix it with any drug that also lowers it and i wouldent recommend exceeding 400mg in one day.
With that being said. I love it, I would say, first time, two pills, 100mgs should be good.
if not, take one more, if not, take one more, if not...then take no more, cause its not for you.
It can be a great potentiator, but out of harm reduction ill leave that alone.
I have a tolernace for it, and 200mgs at once and I feel great. So, if you are the type of person that will feel euphoria or any goodness off it, you will feel it at safe dose.
I would also reccomend having an anticonvulsant like klonopin handy just in case if you are using recreationally. If you are prone to seizures, have ever had one in the past, forget this drug. For me, I love it, on par with hydro. Cheers!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS: But I can take doseages up to 800mgs over a 24hr period and fell happy and high with no problems, but that is me. Start small, you can always take more... but you cant take back.

I would recommend 150mg to start. and after a few hours throw one more into the mix. and usually a 0.5 of klonopin would prove to make for a good time. Even though tramadol has proven to be a worthless substance for recreational purpose for me. I WISH tramadol did something for meh. : ' /
 
The other nite i took 70 odd tramadol an a few beers and i was wasted,mind u i have a tolerance...damn tolerance!! But 70...if i was new to them id take say..10 50mg ones thats a nice dose..not too much but most important not 2 little!! I was nodding out on 70,by far the most tram ive ever had at once,had 2 walk home 2 lol

For first time thats way too much for initial dose. and you are lucky, because alcohol lowers seizure threshold. Im a paramedic and have transported patients to ER on that combo more times than i can count.
Having a opiate tolerance does not mean you will have a Tramadol tolerance, it works and metabolizes differently. That is why for some, like me who can take 100mgs of oxys, but 200mgs of tramadol is good, others...that amount of oxys would be fatal, and that amount of tramadol would do nothing.
Be safe and have fun.
 
yeah i have read about serotonin syndrome and have had tram 4 years just like any,well most,drugs i experiment with smallish amounts.that day i also had 20 gabapentin and 450mg of tegritol as well,i find they can make 4 some wobbly legs haha.which is weird for me coz yeah the amount of ms contin (with the aa of course) an a few benzos and im just nice for the day,would od a lot of people-i seem 2 be cursed with a natural high tolerance 4 opiates.oh well (sigh).wish 2 fuck i could break thru an get high today....
 
just tryin 2 get wasted with no real drugs.sucks man.pick up not tomorrow but the next day.goin to be sweet as:)

Been there, it sucks, the waiting game. intersting is that there is no cross tolerance between other opiates and tramadol. My opiate tolerance is high, so it applies to oxy's, roxy's, perc's, hydro's, hydromorphone, morphine etc... but not to tramadol, i guess im one of the lucky few that tramadol works to get me euphoric at semi-safe dosages.
My wife has no tolerance and a 10mg vicodin will knock her out, but she feels nothing off tramadol no matter the dose.

I'm the same way I love tramadol gives me a euphoric feeling if I take 3 50mg Im good all day. It's weird because I've met people who hate it idk I like it.
 
Like others have said, I find that a dose of 100-200 gives a really nice high. I find it to be unlike other opioids, in that I dont really feel "high", just a really strong mood lift. In my experience, do not mix it with stimulants, had a really shitty time when I combined it with ritalin.

LOL, I just posted a few minutes ago, I took ritalin after a day of tramadol.....they kinda cancelled each other out, not completely. I felt less effects of both. So not anything terrible, but nothing fun about that combo either. That will be a non re-try.

3.5 grams of tramadol...

You're not exaggerating, right?

Look, people, if more than 350mg of tramadol a day doesn't do it for you, you might consider that tram is not the right drug for you... even if you don't seize, you're still getting considerable NMDAR antagonistic and 5-HT releasing properties at doses past that. People's moods have been fucked up (through 5-HT depletion) after withdrawing from as low 100mg of tramadol a day, do you really want to be the guinea pig?

There are stronger opioids, like oxycodone and heroin, and better 5-HT releasers, like MDMA, so why try to get heroin-potency and MDMA-potency effects from megadoses of tramadol? If you do, then yes, please use powerful anticonvulsants like clonazepam, as suggested above.

Please read all posts in thread so you don't just repeat another posters point. It also helps OP.
Dead heading a thread is pointless. I constantly read threads where people keep posting same points not realizing it has already been posted. The extra time it takes to read all posts also gives you a better perspective on the overall direction of the thread helping you to contribute your own ideas that will add to the quality not quanity. Thank you.

Even with a disclaimer, posting stuff like that gives users a false sense of security, including that in your post does not contribute to harm reduction, it's better kept to yourself in threads requesting dosage advice. You're experiencing a paradoxical reaction, please be mindful of the thousands of unregistered users who read these boards daily but do not have an account.

Absolutely.

As a matter of fact, 3.5 grams of tramadol taken in one go will give a rush similar to MDMA followed by either a seizure or a manic state. I have taken a max of 500mgs in one go and it felt like I was rolling. The problem is that these high doses induce seizures and 3.5 grams is an absolute, well, I don't have words for it other than an irresponsible act.

I cannot believe you lived through 3.5 grams combined with alcohol (which decreases the seizure threshold even more). Tramadol is one tough motherfucker and it causes seizures without a warning and at any dose above 100mgs. Literally you are rolling the dice with a dose above 400mgs. For harm reduction, folks, never take more than 100mgs in one go and never combine it with other drugs, especially those known to reduce the seizure threshold (pretty much all psychotropics except benzodiazepines and barbiturates).

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS...and Start small, you can always take more... but you cant take back. That is a DOUBLE disclaimer for harm reduction. If we cant post our own experinces here then where can we?? If someone were to read this they would see that I am not just giving a disclaimer, BUT also advise NOT to take large amounts and to start small. You need to to comprehend what was written. I make more of an effert to promote harm recduction than most people on this site and Ive been reading this site for years. After reading your post, I have just copy and pasted 40 diclaimers before personal experinces of larger doses by MODERATORS. So, just, calm down, use your comprehension skills and read it again. paradoxical reaction? Based on what, did I give a list of all meds a dosages I take? Do you have ascess to my medical history and conditions? diagnosing what I am experiencing based on this thread is far beyond irresponsible, and is the opposite of harm reduction.
