No really? I found having no control of your muscles and jumping around without the ability to control them rather quite pleasant.

I agree that what you are doing is pretty extreme and maybe talking to your dr for a sensible plan on stopping.
About the seizures, maybe some people are just not susceptible to them. I have a friend who takes similar doses of tramadol every day for a period of a week or so and has never had a seizure. Maybe you are 'one of the lucky ones'...
that being said taking that much tramadol can't be good for you....

lol...actually i do rather enjoy the random twitches that I experience when I am about to fall asleep after coming down after a speed binge-especially if I have been speed-balling.idk why,it just comforts me bc I know I am so close to much needed sleep.
what I was referring to the period of time following a seizure known as postictal state. It is commonly a short term "cloudy" or "muddled" state that can last from 5 to 30 minutes,or in my case-a few weeks. Most people are not conscious of the actual seizure which is why they are so dangerous,especially when one has a seizure and no one is around to help restrain them from physical injury as well as possibly choking on one's tongue. it is also common to piss yourself when having a seizure and after the episode subsides,this can be quite humiliating on top of the confusion.
Yeah those big red and white 300 mg bombs, lol. Candy. Dang, that habit sounds just like mine was. I'm getting out slow slow so I don't seizure. Maybe once per day I'll stand next to someone in the dark and turn a strobe light on. If I'm tapering too fast I'll seize and at least have someone there too dial 911 and clean up my piss (or not - that might be asking too much). Who needs doctors when I can come up with my own diag tests.
one word...SEIZURE. don't question why you are not having them. you are putting yourself in real danger taking that insanely high dose.way too much. trust me. I've had a seizure on tramadol and on welbutrin. not all warnings on medication should be ignored. you don't want to have a seizure. IT SUCKS!
Be safe and stay safe.......................skillz
Maybe I should think about an Ashton taper so that I don't have a seizure. Nothing against anyone but I think some posts ref only this threads title and not what has been sorted out in the post. I appreciate the concern at any rate - I'm fully aware that even though I'm (stress) not taking tram anymore, I'm still walking out of the benzodiazepine pregab habit through a minefield and my brain could blow any day now. As long as there are some synapses left after the explosion I think I'll be able to reconnect them and get back on the consciousness train.
Anyone who posts things like "you're going to have a seizure" without reading the thread and realizing it's about me finding a way to maneuver out of my habits safely might piss me off for a sec but anyone who has gone though any wd or had a seizure or seizure risk is a brother in arms I can't be pissed at for long.
I read a lot of threads on BL and sometimes I come across a bad story with a lot of posts where the user goes dark after that (no more posts on BL). This always makes me curious about how it all ended up. I'd like to think the person made it through but, of course, there are other more troubling outcomes that come to mind.
In any case, I wanted to bump a follow up on the bad place I was in a few years back so someone wouldn't stumble on this old thread and wonder if was another no-way-out situation. I stayed clean off tramadol, went through some brain zaps, but it really was quite manageable to wd. I substituted pregabalin and benzos through most of 2011 (I would guess an average of about 10-20 mg diazepam / 900 mg pregab per day), tapering down as best I could and was eventually able to come off the pregabalin in early 2012. I upped my benzo intake a little when I quit pregabalin to about 2 mg clonazepam, 10 mg diaz per day because I was afraid I would seize. Since then I've been doing a benzo taper - 0.5 mg clonazepam per day starting in April, then mid May I started 5 mg diaz daily then since June 7th I've been on 2.5 mg diaz per day. Diaz is the only chemical I'm on now.
I've been working the same job the whole time and have been able to hold on but I'm sure I have not been as productive as I could have been. The tramadol kept me productive but it was in no way sustainable. If the benzo wd gets too bad and I lose my job so be it. I'd trade having to re-build my career for being done with pills easily.
I'm not going to say that I feel great because I don't. But when it comes to wd I feel - terrified:I'm going to fast; content:I always need to up my dose to get here; pretty uncomfortable:doing it right. The benzo withdrawal is awful but manageable and hopefully I'm doing it slow enough and it will stay that way. I don't crave tramadol or dope anymore. I do miss the pregabalin - it was some great stuff. If only I was responsible enough to handle it.

Well uh, OP.. That's a SHITLOAD of tramadol.
If you do end up tapering before you die of a massive five hour long seizure please taper off the tramadol first.
