How much usage creates physical dependence on tramadol?

[NagasakiNightmare]

Does the amount not matter? i.e. you can get w/d from 100mg daily after 7 days?
How long does it take, of daily usage to create w/d symptom after use? I recognize it's a bit different as it has mild SSRI properties, but I'm one of the lucky ones who's never had withdrawal from SSRIs or SNRIs (including paxil and effexor!)
If I want to take a lot over a matter of weeks, how much time should I lay off the trams?

thanks.

yeah, well in theory any amount taken daily will cause some tolerance and dependency, but I doubt you would recognize the withdrawal symptoms on less than 200-250mg daily. If you have to take it for pain, try to space your doses with maybe days of 100-150mg in there - Tramadol builds up in your system and the BA goes up after continued use, so you get more of the drug from the same amount of pills, and it is possible to take days off.
If you are using it recreationally, I would space it out even more or your tolerance will go to the ceiling dose of 400mg quickly.

i used tram daily for over 4 months. legit script. 150mg a day.. any more & i didnt like the SNRI effect.
only had a few brain zaps in the morning for like 3 days... but i also had diaz to help.

weird thing is i recently only took it for a week & the w/d were hell.. doesnt make sense.
must have been the vals i had the first time which stopps the w/d

took oxy for a week didnt get any w/d. but trams weird snri brain zap stim headache bs after a weed isnt good. & the thing is the oxy is a better high.

it still worked just as well after a few months as it ever did. but make sure to taper slowly.. unless u have benzos that is than its a walk in the park.. maybe do some cwe's

here in aus trams are as easy to get as panadeine forte. but they not worth the w/d like oxys are.... unless u have benzos... than they make for a good antidepressant
