Does anyone know why this might happen? It's quite annoying. Another rhetorical comment I'd like to add is that I just quit using H, and I had the craziest dream just now where an ex-stepfather of mine gave me some in this little device like a tattoo gun, and I had to shoot it under my tounge, hah. It's weird how you can feel high in a dream.
 
34,880 people reported to have side effects when taking Tramadol. Among them, 23 people 0.07% have Hiccups.

This side effect is rare, but a side effect nonetheless.

Discussion and conclusion
The pathophysiology of hiccups is still poorly described. The Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb received three reports of hiccups associated with the use of tramadol. The positive dechallenge in all three cases and the availability of several articles concerning opiate-related hiccups suggest a causal relationship between tramadol and hiccups.
Considering the for some patients impairing effect of longlasting periods of hiccups, health care professionals and patients should be aware of the possible relationship between hiccups and the use of of tramadol.

I have had many dreams were i seem to get high even really quite high sometimes often off these strange seemingly imaginary drugs ( as in not drugs i know the names of just dream based drugs hahaha )

And yer it is amazing!!
 
Indeed, I too have experienced this. Also congrats on quitting H. That's a big step in the right direction. :D
 
hiccups are a common side effect of opiates , also yawing is fairly common. hiccuping is a sudden, involuntary contraction of the diaphragm which occurs at the same time as a contraction of the voice box (larynx) and total closure of the glottis, effectively blocking air intake. the glottis is the middle part of the larynx, where the vocal cords are located. experts are not sure what causes hiccups and why we do them. most agree that they are often triggered by minor stomach upsets. sometimes, hiccups are said to have a psychological, rather than a physical cause - however, nobody really knows.

opiates are known the upset the stomach, and in my opinion, the aact of hiccuping is trying to get whatever is bothering your stomach out of your stomach. opiates and ulcers are related and ulcers also cause hiccps.
 
I've gotten hiccups from all opioids I've used specifically heroin (my doc). I called em "heroin hiccups". probably has to do with respiratory depression and muscle relaxation throwing off the breathing rhythm. not entirely sure but seems logical to me.
 
Yeah, anytime I would get REALLY high i'd get hiccups. But, I had to be close to nodding to have em, but once I had em it was hell getting rid of them.
 
slow, controlled, breathing always got rid of em for me. works with "regular hiccups" too.
