:? Hi all am new to this blue light thing so please bear with me.

At present I am feeling quite low having recently run out of my Tramadol in which i may add was a prescription drug, but after having such good highs from them besides helping with my pain in which they are prescribed for is there anything else out there in which I can take to ease the pain and also pick up my mood whilst I have to wait a couple of days for re-fill ??? I have something called Betahistine Dihydrochloride is this any good, are am I just walking in the dark, if you get the meaning :?
 
Are you physically dependent on the tramadol? If so, I would find a way to get more or at least take 30-60mg DXM per day until you refill, for NMDA antagonism, NRI actions, and SRI actions, although tramadol is a serotonin releaser, and not a reuptake inhibitor, from what I understand.

I highly recommend to all chronic pain patients to take their medications strictly as prescribed. Ramping up the dose to chase the high just once can permanently affect your opioid tolerance, and make your regular, prescribed dosage less effective for treating pain.
 
DXM is fantastic as ErgicMergic stated.

I would just wait it out.... you don't want to start messing around with other shit which could cause you worse side effects.

Let it be a lesson learned and make sure that you don't run out early next month. I know it's easier said than done, but you are stronger than any man made substance. :)
 
Careful with abusing the tramadol.... As I am guessing you figure out the dependancy on it is horrible as well as easy to create. With it being a long acting opiate the W/D are probably longer as well. Stay safe and I highly recommend not abusing this medication for a recreational high as it is sooooooooo not worth it...

Edit: You got it tricomb.... It is a WIERD W/D. I hate it and actually need to toss my old script of it still. I have no idea why people in the RC scene would even seek this compound... Although I understand the OP is getting it scripted. IMO codeine is less addictive and safer to use, but that is just me.

Even ramping up the dosage/copping additional/different medications for THERAPEUTIC effect can cause this. I've dosed large doses of morphine (90-200mg of MS-Contin) solely for pain relief, VERY spaced out in terms of incidence, and now my tolerance is fucked.
 
Personally I wouldn't take the betahistine. Betahistine is an antivertigo drug and a selective histamine receptor H1 agonist and H3 antagonist. Betahistine is being studied for the treatment of atypical depression due to its ability to antagonise H3 receptors and thus theoretically increase the release of serotonin and norepinephrine (like tramadol). But these are just preliminary studies and the side effects of betahistime sound like something I really wouldn't want while experiencing opioid withdrawal: headache, nausea, gastric side effects, insomnia, decreased appetite, and histamine-related side effects (rash, itching, hives, swelling, tingling, burning, difficulty breathing). It does sound like the betahistine could potentially help with some of the aspects of tramadol WD related to serotonin/norepinephrine, but it also sounds like it could potentially make things worse as well.

I'd check out the Opioid Withdrawal Megathread.
