My friend Pablo only tried Tramadol, he started with 200mg which is too high for a beginner, and it was his best day he ever lived, for the first 2 hours he was living in another world (never happened again), if he closes his eyes he sees a very clear HD quality random movies, if he sleeps he can remember all the dreams which makes sleeping a very interesting experience.
But Pablo became mentally addicted on the first day and since it was easy to obtain a pack of 100 x (100 mg) pills for ~100$ Pablo reached really big amounts 600 mg / 1000 mg a day, and things started to become really bad and most of the good stuff above stopped happening, and stopping was super hard due to the intense withdrawals.
On the good side, Pablo lost around 30 KG during those 2 years from 129 to 99 KG even though he used to eat McDonald's and other crap food frequently, and lots of chocolates, energy drinks, and never did any sport activity.
Also in the first 3 months Pablo got a promotion and a salary increase because his performance was like 8 times better, as he started enjoying his work, though this barely lasted 3-4 months.
Pablod decided to quit coldturky just 4 days ago, and with the help of other drugs its still bad, but not as bad as when the supply was cut where pablo stayed in bed for 5 days.
It seems Tramadol effects people differently (Pablo has a severe untreated ADD) and never did any narcotics before, moreover different brands has different effects based on Pablo's own experience and his other friends, Pablo lives some where close to Iran which is where His Trams are smuggled, just like US and Mexico.
Pablo said he didn't try Suboxone or Hydroyxyzine.
