G'day everyone! I should be putting this into the 'Intro section' I think, but really - who cares aye? Too tired and to give a damn guys sorry.

I have lurked here and the rest of the net a long time, but this is the first time posting here so g'day.

On a different note I thought I would like to give a view on something that I feel a lot of people look by - low level opiate withdrawal. I am talking about things like Tramadol and Codeine here. These "weak" drugs are deceptively dicey and I would advise people that even these drugs can give you a kick in the pants if you abstain from them after a period of use.

I am a regular tramadol user - having taken at least 400mg daily for over a year now. On and off I have a doctor at the pain clinic co prescribe up codeine of which I take too fast (usually at a rate of 400 or so mg a day). Recently I started taking VALPRO 200 (Sodium valporate) at a rate of 400-600 mg a day.

Opiate withdrawal even with these 'weak' drugs is bad. I haven't used anything 'harder' but there is certainly a sluggishness that overshadows everything when I run out. Diarrhea, nausea, and just a general 'fuck everything' attitude along with a constant headache and feeling like your are going to fall over all seem to be present with these drugs/doses.

So what is the moral of this story? Don't know. Just saying to everyone that even if you think that crunching down on Tramal and Panadeine Forte is a great idea of fun - just note that you are in for a bit of a come down.
 
Many people who use this site are aware of the potentially negative side effects of tramadol and codeine.

Combining tramadol with other opiates, including codeine, drastically increases the seizure risk. Your doctor possibly gave you the sodium valproate to help minimize this risk.

This has been discussed many times.

This.

Welcome to bluelight yanluo, but this type of thread is more suited for your journal. Other Drugs is for intermediate level drug/pharmacology discussion. Since your post asks no real questions worthy of generating a quality discussion, i am going to close this.

If you are interested in posting a trip report of sorts, following the guidelines of course, check out the Trip Reports section of bluelight.

Also, in regards to the rules - "Who cares?". Well, we do.. I urge you to take a few moments and read the BLUA and the other drugs guidelines/posting standards which are located in my signature. If you still have questiosn about the rules don't hesitate to private message myself or any other staff member.

Thank you.
