The Official Tramadol Discussion Thread

Lazygit: I've been where you are. An idea is to use extended release caps, if you're not already using those. There will be no rush at all, but you won't feel depressed, and tapering will be a whole lot easier.

Thats good, I have some 100mg SR but take 50mg IR's for a better buzz.
What I also wonder is if it's efficiant to take say combine IR/SR together say, 300mgs IR and 100mg XR or will that not work so well?

I don't think crushing em does much neither, although people say to embrace the XR for better biovailabilty or whatever I prefer IR all the the way.

edgewise1: Thats pretty intense man, surley the negatives out weigh the positives? And I assume you're having benzos or something to minimise seizures?

Eating 8 pills a day doesn't feel so healthy. I've vouched not to go over 400mg's due to seizure risks but have had 500mg's a couple times and didn't find it much better.

Just awoke from my nap...as soon as I get some Codiene and some food in me im out for a few hours. Now I wont sleep to silly o'clock and am bored as fuck.8o
 
I don't know. Sometimes even now it will seriously kick my ass. I get the dose wrong and I throw up, doing better there. Or I'm so fucked I can't do anything but just lay there and be "in it", kinda like you have to do with E.
 
I don't know if its tolerance to tram or benzos that are giving me these tormenting nights. It's like im not sleeping but having the most fucked up bizzare dreams.

Sleep? Am I the only one that Tram makes them WAY too speedy to sleep?

Fuck man no , i have recently been put on trams and co-codamol - not designed to be taken together of course but whatever....lol

i have taken tramadol before - a long time ago - but now im back on it

when i first took some i had 150mg of tramadol and 60mg of codeine

and i cant remember if it was on that dose or the next - but i soon started to realise (as well as feeling an opiate high) that i was rushing like a mother fucker!

i am a light smoker - and i swear i just couldnt stop smoking - the smoke felt so good - i smoked so many cigs - it felt like i was on speed AND an opiate - all that noradrenalin and serotonin i guess....

it does kind of suck that tramadol has these seizure risks.... i actually got up to 300mg IR in one dose - but then i ran out of my script - so i am waiting for another couple of weeks before i get more yet.... i guess tolerance will take care fo itself in this respect - since you cant buy the stuff in the shops (thank fuck for that - id probably be dead....)

its prob all the serotonin man - from the tramadol .... and maybe the benzos are doing some shit as well - they do interfere with sleep.... which is retarded because initially they help....

Cheap and easy to acquire? Yup. Good to be addicted to? Hell no. Leaving aside how shit addiction to anything is, being addicted to a drug with both opioid and anti-depressant effects is not too great. Why have only one set of shitty withdrawals to deal with when you can have two instead? And, as if it's not tempting enough already, how about throwing in a dash of seizure risk plus the fact that you can't use most actual fun drugs when you're on tram cos it interacts so viciously with fuckin' everything? :!

yeah this does suck as i said earlier ..... i take it the drugs that you cant really take with it are like mdma, acid and other triptaminergics ? - are there any others i should be aware of ??

Same here on the cigarettes. I smoke much more on tram, almost like a chain smoker, and thats another thing to stop!:)
 
Glad I found this thread! I perused it but admit I didn't read every post so forgive me if all the answers are in here. Tramadol has been a strange trip for me. As a frequent user of pain pills for a few years now, whenever Tramadol was brought up people would stick up their noses and not even take them for free. There were 2 bottles in my house of 90 50mg tabs for months. I couldn't give em away and can still remember groans from peeps when someone showed up @ a party and said, well i got some Tramadols for my tooth pain. I even saw a dude toss a full scrip away after coming out of the ER cuz he wanted Percs or even Tylenol w/Codeine.
Then I read up on it a bit during a week i was having pretty tough withdrawals. Someone mentioned they can help ease symptoms. So i popped 3. Nothing, but did seem to slightly take the edge off. A few hours later 5 more. This time I felt more @ ease but not "high" but I slept like a baby, passing out with all the lights and TV on which I ha vent done since nodding on H way back in the day. After running out of OC's some time later I dug out the stockpile of Tramadols (3 near full bottles now, given to me by someone who said they were useless except for maybe mild pain). I said screw it and popped 8. About 30 minutes later I had this odd buzz, not an opiate high but something. I was relaxed but not at the same time then I found myself almost nodding, but more like catnapping and I didn't feel my withdrawals nearly as bad. So for the next few days I would take about 6-8 a pop, get the similar buzz and sleep like a baby.
I stopped taking them again for about 2 weeks but then ran out of pain meds again and popped 8. Not much of a buzz this time, it still made me sleepy though. So now I think I built up a fast tolerance. I started taking 5 @ a time, spaced out about 3 times a day and feel it less. Now for the scary part......see next post.
 
Didn'T want to write a book so I spaced these apart, hope that's cool. The scary thing happened yesterday. I had been taking Tramadol like tic tacs for a few days, up to 18 a day, spread out. Last night I started feeling crappy and light headed, I stood up and almost fainted. Then I started to sweat and had a brief but pretty rapid heart beat. The whole episode only lasted about an hour (the rapid heart beat only 10 minutes or so) and then I relaxed, popped a Valium then finally slept. Now I come here and do more research and learn 1-There are seizure risks with Tramadol?? How severe and is it from chronic use, too much use? Do they occur while under the influence or whenever?
2-They are highly addictive?? I never had heard that. People here say they are hell to kick? Can anyone give an example of how long they used before they were hooked and suffered withdrawals? I know it differs from person to person, just looking for personal exp.

So now I'm not touching them though I know I'm going to want to when my body is withdrawing from the pain pills. I have like 120 pills in my drawer! Help!

Thanks for listening to me ramble, any advice is welcome.

did you not do any research about this drug before you started taking it? The seizure risk is the most prominent info about this drug, along with its potential for addiction. You should ALWAYS research a drug before you begin taking it.

If you have been taking it for any length of time you should not stop cold turkey. You want to taper off this drug and wean yourself down. Because it has SSRI effects as well as opiate effects you don't wanna just stop this cold turkey. You will be very uncomfortable especially if you have been taking 900mgs a day.

There is a seizure risk at less than half that. You are really lucky you have not had one.
 
This whole thread is full of seizure info. We hear a lot about it. If you don't go over 400mg you should be good.
I had heard people say they are addictive. But I just have psychological not physical craving. Once I did meth, nothing seemed addictive.

I don't smoke, but I do agree guys, weed and Tram are a match made in heaven. I was having issues getting high anymore and I took the weed with it and it was like starting all over again.

yeah ok whoa - bit too much here moral decay lol

back o head pm me if you want some advice about tramadol

moral decay is right though it can cause seizure - it is more likely to induce a seizure if it is taken with other medicines like anti-depressants or street drugs such as LSD or MDMA (ecstasy)

there is a small seizure risk if you are taking the prescribed doses and you have been given the drug to take by a medical practioner who has a full knowlegde of all drugs (prescribed or otherwise) that you are taking

the risk becomes greater and greater the more things you thow in the mix along with the tramadol

especially if u have a history of seizures

i dont think berating people in the name of "harm reduction" is the way to carry stuff out on here Moral.... you DO know that slot for an OD moderator has gone to bollwevil now dont you ;)

i already know your a paranoid mother fucker from the shit you said to me about the dangers of taking a prescribed dose of apap with a prescribed dose of ibuprofen .....

seriously back o head pm me - ahh fuckit im gonna pm u :)

dont let moral decay trip you out too much man - although he is right to be cautious -
 
Also Free, i tried Pming you back, wrote a ton then of course it couldnt send,I guess i cant yet till im a bluelighter.
 
Does anyone else find that it takes up to 3 to 5 hrs for the effects of the tramadol to kick in ?
 
I know that it does take several hours it seems before it really starts to kick your ass... but adding marijuana to it at a later stage could account for that with me.

The reason for that is because tramadol (much like codeine) is a Pro-drug. meaning tramadol it self is not nearly as strong an opiate as the metabolite O-desmethyltramadol. It takes about 3 hours for your body to break tramadol down into O-desmethyltramadol. This is the reason it takes a little while for the stoning effect of tramadol to come on and also why most people describe tramadol as a stimulating drug int eh early stages and a stoning drug as the day wears on. I suspect this is also the reason that it hits you harder when there is already some in your system(when you redose) because the tramadol is having a synergistic effect with the O-desmethyltramadol already in your blood and brain.
