Take care with trams for wd's!
Be _very_ careful using tramadol to deal with withdrawals from true opioids. While trams lower your seizure threshold anyhow the risk appears to be much greater if they are taken after opioid withdrawal has begun. I have read plenty to suggest this risk, hopefully I can update with some links soon - my apologies for the lack of them now, I just changed my web browser to one that syncs more easily with my smartphone and am still going through a big folder of old links sorting the wheat from the chaff so to speak.
For anyone in the UK or Australia Dihydrocodeine is almost as easy to obtain as tramadol and is far safer and more effective for wd's/maintenance IMO. Unfortunately for those of you in the States I believe it is a hassle to obtain outside of fairly rare supervised maintenance therapy programmes but there must be a better choice than tramadol obtainable surely. To the OP, taking trams, especially if you have to take a highish dose due to tolerance, when already in suspected Heroin wd could well be a fast route to the ER with a nasty tonic-clonic seizure (similar to one of the more unpleasant forms of epilepsy), or worse if you fit badly alone with all the risks that entails.
Just thought you folks should be made aware - stay safe
Dude, caizar... I have read posts regarding your heroin usage and possible withdrawl symptoms. If you do heroin at any regular frequency, you will not feel tramadol at all. Seriously. I used top take 2-4 percocet 10's when I was 17 and first started opiates. But after I started iv'ing 20-100 dollars a day of dope, I went back to percocets after a brief period of abstinence and found out I now needed at least 50 mgs of oxycodone just to feel it at ALL.
So man, if your trying to get high.... do heroin. And if your trying NOT to do heroin..... Use tramadol sparingly along with other benzo's and otc remedies for w/d.
