^it can really mess up your hearing for an hour or two on higher doses!
Could you please provide a reference to tramadol's action as an inhibitor of serotonin reuptake, because it is generally not considered to have this effect. A link to Tramadol's action as a NMDA antagonist would be appreciated as well, because while this would not be unusual given its structure, this effect has not been noted in any medical literature I have read.
I'm thinking there is a difference in the understanding of acronyms here...
SNRI- selective norepinepherine reuptake inhibitor
SSR - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
Tramadol has a strong effect as an SNRI, much like venlafaxine. .and releases serotonin. NADA as an SSRI. The NMDA anatagonistic acticity is part of its action, and well known. I haven't searched for a link confirming such yet, but they are out there.
Cheers

OK, I see where the mixup has occurred. Your thoughts on the acronyms are incorrect.
An SNRI is a Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor
An SSR is the "Corvette Truck" produced by Chevrolet in the early 2000s
A Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor is an SSRI
A Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor is simoply called a NRI
The reason for the difference in acronym notation between a Selectove Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor and a Selectove Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor is as follows:
A Selectove Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor is selective in the sense that it is selective over other monoamine receptor sites (serotonin, dopamine, etc.)
Selectove Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor is selective in the sense that it is selective to specific subtypes of serotonin receptors, hence why its acronym gets the "S" in front of it, while inhibitors of Norepinephrine reuptake do not.
So your statement "Tramadol has a strong effect as an SNRI" is incorrect. Tramadol is a Serotonin Releasing Agent, and a NRI (norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor).
I still would like to see a link to Tramadol's action as a NMDA antagonist, please.

Nice post Saucy (except for the "selectove" stuff, that hurts my eyes!). IMHO we need a damned glossary.
Ive been doing small doses of unknown quantity for that last 2 months and only got as far as feeling a weird comforting buzz, doing small booster bumps.
so last night i got down to the last of the bag and decided to snort a line that was probably 3x as much as ive ever done at once to finish it off. for the first hour it was the same buzz as usual but stronger and for the first time a strange mania was noted. i came up with the plan to buy plane tickets to Cambodia and start traveling the world because my life needed to take a new direction. i was checking the price for plane tickets on cheapflights.com when all the sudden i got a intense sensation that i was spinning( to the point i would literally spin to catch up with it). i laid down in bed and didnt get up for 3 hours. i had this crazy spiritual experience of epiphany after epiphany while traveling inside another dimension that was folding and twisting me over and over that seemed to last a lifetime. when i finally realized i was in my room and i wasn't dead. i had another 30 minutes of pretty intense body sensations that still felt like i was being folded and twisted. i finally got up out of bed and couldn't walk worth shit. i couldn't go to sleep for another 2 hours and was afraid i was gonna wake up feeling like shit for work in the morning. when i took the dose i didn't expect or want such an intense psychedelic experience, i had gotten used to using the substance as an interesting sedative. well to my surprise after a measly 3 hours of sleep, i woke up feeling like a million fucking bucks! i dont even feel that good after 8 hours of sleeping. kinda feel like i wasted the gram i bought now that its gone and i just found out its potential.
does anyone else have a similar experience cause it totally took me by surprise.
Does anyone think frequent-ish use of this would produce similiar side-effects to frequent-ish side effects of dxm?
People who use dxm even every week or couple of weeks start going a bit dull...
vocabulary slips and something just isn't right.
Would anyone suppose that Mex could be similar in brain dulling side-effects?
I'm talking once a week or less here.
