Grapefruit juice to potentiate tramadol(?)

I've been reading a lot about how Grapefruit juice can drasticly potentiate Tramadol. I've come to understanding that the juice helps your liver produce a chemical to help digest the Tramadol and turn it into o-desmethyltramadol, which is supposedly the reason behind the "opioid like effects" that Tramadol can have.
Now I myself get VERY noticeable opioid like effects from Tramadol .
I.E Drowsiness, sedativness, mild euphoria, even a "nod" of sorts, and at higher doses I also get the stronger side effects that happen from taking heavier opiates like Oxy, Hydro, Morph etc.
For example taking 250+ mg I get very itchy, irritated, and pissed off.

Basically Tramadol works wonders for me.
Now my my question is if my liver already digests Tramadol successfully, will grapefruit juice have any potentiating effects? I'm not looking for the juice to make the Tramadol feel like morphine or some shit, I'm just wondering if it will increase the time it lasts, or makes the euphoria stronger.
Will the juice do anything if even now without it Tramadol has opioid like effects on me?
And if so I would love to know how much to drink and when I.E during the peak, the end of the high, or BEFORE I take it.
I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks ahead of time, cheers :-)
