You have to take more than that man.

Non-tolerant to get high doses are at least 200mgs.

that is not true, I've known plenty of people who have taken it at 100mg and gotten high, infact myself when I first started 100mg was my sweet spot, unless i intended to smoke weed then I would not go over 75mg, Maybe I am sensitive to the SNRI effects? I had no problem with the opiate qualities, it was the stimulation i did not care for at higher then 100mg, after a few months i was taking 200mg int eh morning and 200mg in the evening.

My Advice is that BME start with 100mg and wait 3 hours, if at 3hours BME is not high they take another 50-100mg. Start off slow, you can always take more if you are not high enough but once you are too high you can not take back what you have already began to feel.

well, its been about a week since i first started shitting blood, and its finally stopped. i drank lots of water and ate boxes of raisin bran, and eventually my stool turned to small hard pellets instead of giant rock hard missiles. TMI? i dont think so..
so for anyone who is noticing bright red blood from opiate constipation, its not the most serious thing in the world although it is quite scary to see lots of blood in the toilet. it will eventually heal and go away by doing things to soften your excrement. im not saying dont go to the doctor, but for people like me who have no insurance and dont like going there anyway, you can more than likely fix the problem yourself.
thanks for your help everyone.
also, i switched to oxycontin for a few days and im surprised that there is even less constipation with it than there is with tram..
good luck people, and keep your asshole safe.

Amen on keeping your asshole safe! LOL.

About the amount to take for.a first timer. I would agree with starting at 100 mg's then add by 50's. Just remember that it may take an hour or longer to get the full effects so do not go popping 50 mg's every 15 minutes!

I still remember the first time I took it and at the time I had a decent tolerance to hydro. I took a single 50 mg Ultram, not a generic, and in about an hour I could feel the effects of it. I did not take anymore that day and as I remember ir lasted from mid afternoon until I went to bed. Was not a hydrocodone feel, but the feel it had was damned enjoyable! Still is.

 

[edgewise1]

Let me add that while I did not get the same hydro high from the Ultram, the mood lift and euphoria was such that I really did not mind it not being tramadol. That, plus the ease of procuring it early on made it a no brainer in my case to switch over. Another plus was that it gave me as much pain reduction as hydrocodone did, but with less dosing.

If you'll do some reading you'll find that in addition to being an opiate, Tramadol also acts as a mild SSRI (antidepressant). This is why it makes you feel so good, and why people use it for focus, etc. etc. The problem though is that if you get used to a daily habit and then stop taking it, not only do you get the opiate withdrawal, but you get SSRI withdrawal and potentially SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome.

Hi Obyron....

I'm recently coming off of a 150-200mg a day Hydromorphone (Dillaudid) habit.

2 years ago I was hooked on Tramadol and when I quit, I found the withdrawals to be MUCH worse than what I am going through now. The restless leg syndrom meant like NO sleep for almost 3 weeks.

Is this part of the SSRI Discontinuation Syndrom? I've never heard of this before. Is this what caused me to have such hard WD's off the Trams...

I mean, most people would assume that the Opiate based Dillaudid would be much worse than the trams.. but as I'm finding out... the WD from the Dillys was intense, fast, and did not hold on like the trams did... I'd take this any day over the trams.

Can you tell me more about SSRI Discontinuation?

Thanks Man!!!!

there is an easy solution to your problem. It is a product called Magnesium citrate. go yo your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for magnesium citrate laxative. It is a small bottle of liquid in the laxative isle. You drink half or the whole thing and you will be shitting soft or liquid poo about 6 hours later. I do this 1-2 times a week to prevent my intestines from being scratched or my anus from tearing.

rite aid brand:

longs cherry flavor brand:

also comes in a pill formulation:

 

[BananasAndOranges]

these are wonderful. seriously.

 

[zolton]

yeah thanks moral. i try to stay away from laxatives usually but ill probably get some for my assholes sake... ive read on a lot of laxative bottles to ask your doctor first if you take any prescription meds. are you certain that there are no interactions between laxatives and tramadol/ oxycontin? there probably arent but i always like to be 100% sure nonetheless.
thanks again. and have you ever heard of someone taking 150 - 200 mgs of dillies a day? i still think that must be a typo... or if not that is completely ridiculous...

 

[SpellmanT7]

Has anybody with ADD/ADHD taken tramadol and noticed an improvement in their concentration?

I noticed that tramadol is a SNRI (amongst other things), like strattera but before I was scripted dexedrine, I took strattera and it was useless for my ADD.

Another question - should I wait a few days between taking tramadol and dexedrine or can they be combined without ill-effects? I get a little edgy when the trams start to kick in and then I get a smooth, nearly-nod sensation with a significant mood lift.

P.S. - Anyone with tramadol retard/SR should crush them up between two plates instead of chewing them IMHO. Chewing just seems to get bits of tram in all your molars and the only way to remove it is by brushing your teeth and swallowing the gargle water...eurghh.

 

[Wings of wax]

I usually just bite the ER tramadol over in two halves, if I need a faster onset. Slower absorption means better conversion to M1 anyways.

Just thought of a good band name: TRAUMA DOLL

 

[Pillthrill]

The Tram is doing a number on my brain today. I'm angry, irritable, frustrated and depressed. All because of 200mg last night. Sucks when it messes with your head like that. I feel like I have no control over my own head right now...

 

[edgewise1]

Have you experieced those effects before after taking tram? Reason I ask is because I do not remember ever having that feeling. In fact I sometimes forget to take my first dose of the day because I still feel relaxed and up from the previous day.

 

[Pillthrill]

I get what I call opiate anger when I start coming down. I become very irritable. Hell I even got mad during sex once...
I took it last night and woke up this morning to the bf talking about how we need to be looking for a new car which threw stress on top of it and I just can't seem to hack it today. He knew it was the Tram that was making it worse, although I've been feeling somewhat down and overwhelmed lately. I took some codeine, I'm hoping that will take the edge off without having the same effect tomorrow.

There is nothing on the packaging to indicate an interaction with pain killers, or anything in the insert with the medication to indicate an interaction with laxatives. Also I do it twice a week and I'm fine, I would not take them at the same time though as opiates slow down your digestive system. I usually take my last dose for the day then drink the magnesium citrate solution about two hours later or an hour or two before bed, when I wake up I have a very satisfying and bowel emptying movement. :D

Yes wait 24 hours at least between taking tramadol and your dexedrine. Id say 36 to be safe.

 

[BananasAndOranges]

why would you need to wait? i went tot he hospital before and was given darvocet after I said I take adderall.......I dont think it makes a difference. If it does I just fucked up...

 

[Wings of wax]

Back to the sedative antihistamine question: Since it takes hours for the tramadol to be converted into M1 by CYP2D6, wouldn't it make sense to take the antihistamine at the same time or even before, so it can be metabolized before the tramadol? Or do the antihistamine have too long a half-life for that?
