The Official Tramadol Discussion Thread

^^ my doctor prescribes co-codamol 30/500 to be taken with 600 mg of ibuprofen

thats 60mg codeine + 600mg ibuprofen + 1000mg apap to be taken together

obv your not supposed to take tramadol with it - but this is because of sedation not potential liver damage...

still im curious as well - im looking into it and trying to find out info myself ...

if anyone has any scientific evidence tp the contrary i would be very grateful to see it :)

hey your right about the resident doctor on BL though ... would be excellent

although some doctors know less than some of us on here about such things..

Not that what I am posting has a lot to do with the above post, but I generally take 2400 to 3200 mg's of ibuprofen daily, along with my daily dose of tramadol. I'm sad to say, and actually embarrassed to say, that my daily dose of tramadol is somewhere in the 1500 to 1600 mg range. I usually take 800 mg of ibuprofen and 500 mg of tramadol three times a day, with a 4th dose of 800 mg of ibuprofen at bedtime. I have been on this amount for nearly a year now, and find the combnation of tram and ibu to do an excellent job of pain relief, and that the ibu seems to poteniate the tramadol. One thing I can't seem to find info on is whether Alka Seltzer, the type exclusively for heartburn, has any effect on tramadol, and what the effect is. Anyone happen to know an answer to this question?
 
Edgewise: Bluelight shouldn't be a place where people are afraid or ashamed to say how much they are taking of any drug. The main focus of BL is harm reduction, and for that to make any sense, we have to create a climate where people aren't judged in any way for using drugs. That being said, people should be encouraged to use responsibly - but only that, encouraged. We need to give people hope instead of fear and threats - God knows, society has a lot of that already.

Got a little OT, but I have seen too many people being afraid of giving details about their use on BL.
 
Thanks for that response Wings. I am more upset with myself than anything else, and that is for letting the dose get so high. I am working on reducing the dose, it is just going to take some time to do so, along with a good dose of willpower!
 
^^ it happens to the best of us edgewise , its nothing to beat yourself up about too much. reduce the dose very gradually, to avoid unpleasant withdrawals. with perserverance you can do it. :)
 
I use Tramadol by plugging it. Right now I can't really smoke weed with it and I'm not really nodding. Is there anything else I can do? I know benzos might help but I don't have any of those at the moment.
 
Also, my bf and I are sitting here on Tramadol and told me that when on it his mood with change and experience a couple of seconds of a unhappy/sad feeling for no reason at all.

Anyone ever have something like this or is he just really fucked up at the moment? lol
 
I thought I read that plugging tramadol really did not help any more than taking it orally. Also, do you just crush your normal oral dose into a powder and mix it with water to dissolve it and then shoot it up? My normal dose is usually 600mg (12 tabs) at once. If it does give it greater BA, then I would need to reduce the dose I am taking, but by how much? It is sorta funny you mention the negative feeling as I have experienced this. Not on a regular basis though and can really offer a reason for it. I have been on tramadol for close to 10 years, but only remember this happening in the past 2 or 3 years.

Tramadol has been known to cause transient negative emotional effects. Transient meaning it comes and goes.
 
Does anyone have experience w/Ryzolt (extended release Ultram)? I've been prescribed this for pain/easing off other opiate dependence, but they haven't worked too well for me so far. I have 100 mg tabs and am taking about 400 mgs/day.
 
Do NOT IV Tramadol. You would have to buy IV grade Tramadol and it's not worth it.
Shooting a homemade Tram solution will 1. Not work and 2 make your arm going numb for hours

I do know one thing though. I always plug my Tram and my bf eats his. I have a come up in 10 minutes when he has to wait at least an hour...
 
To FunkyDrummer75, I do have alot of experience with the ER Tramadol 200 and 300mg. Sometimes I crush them to make them hit me all at once, but lately I've noticed after reading some good advice from a member on this board that it's alot more beneficial to take the entire extended release tablet at once without crushing. And personally, that advice is spot on right. It gives me more of the dopey feeling I'm after rather than the speedy feeling which always passes after a couple hours usually. I like Tramadol the best when I'm detoxing off of another opiate, usually hydrocodone or suboxone. It doesn't really get me high or even close to a rush which the other full stronger agonists provide, but it can be a true life saver while dealing with opiate withdrawal. Just be careful not to exceed 400mg a day or potential seizuring can happen. I, idiotically, took a large dose one night just to feel the "opiate" feeling it provides and ended up wishing I never would have, having my body shaking and coming close to a bad seizure. All in all, some people like it and some don't. Of course heroin, or even hydrocodone will feel more satisfactory, but in the face of detox, a pinch of another opiate can be heaven like. Hope I helped.

So plugging gives a faster onset? How about the length of time it lasts versus taking orally? I would also like to know about the bioavailibility of plugging and of taking it orally. Just looking for a way to cut down on the amount I am taking daily. Another thing I do not know is how to prepare this for plugging. I read that you need to crush the pills and mix with water, so tramadol is water soluable?, and then inject at least 6 to 7 inches inside. Is this pretty much it?
 
I would not recommend IVing Tramadol or any kind of pill loaded with lots of fillers. just to throw out some harm reduction so ignore this if you go for the plugging method. Tramadol is quite soluble in water as I have very small 50 mg caps filled with white powder, doesn't hurt and gives a quicker onset, but my Tramadol may be a very different mixture than yours so IDK try the plugging first if you want some sort of a ush ;) :p

-- Peace o/
 
I find the onset faster but it may be psychosomatic since I've never looked up bioavailability. For me it's this or not at all. Yes, Tramadol is water soluable. And I don't think inserting it that far is needed at all. Now, I'm going to embarrass myself here but all for the sake of knowledge, but as long as you get the tip of the syringe there you shouldn't have an issue. I haven't found any evidence that more is better.
 
first of all eeeewwww, just ewwww why would someone do that....

and second of all, If I took a much smaller dose of my tramadol and some codiene cough syrup with it, say about 120 mg worth, would that potentiate either, and what is the propensity of seizure with this combo as I hear it can be more possible with opiates combined with a tram ride
 
From, what I have read, no, it only makes a slight difference.

It will potentate codeine, but not as well as Inducers of the enzyme that breaks it down.
