The Official Tramadol Discussion Thread

Tramadol is an evil drug that should be more regulated than codeine they are related but no where near the same. The effects on your body's Serotonin levels are what give it the MDMA, speed, rolling effects increased energy etc... If your heavily energized from Tramadol's and they make the world all better you need an Antidepressant! There are much safer drugs than Tramadol. I had whacked withdrawals AT LEAST 2 WEEKS of misery unexplainable withdrawal worse than quiting daily Oxy/H+Coke addiction. I suspect if you have underlying depression+pain this is a good drug to use sparingly. But if your using it for recreation purposes you might be better off sniffing glue/gasoline or another solvent as there both about as harmful to your body as tramadol is. It all became of big pharmacy dr think this stuff is super safe to use for everything. I willing to bet LSD+Heroin would be a safer rx! And easier for the end user to quit... Then again your brain/body chemistry is different and your millage may very.

One thing that is underplayed here is Serotonin Syndrome which is what makes the withdrawls even worse.... Every have a rough come down from speed/mdma/coke you know that ugly feeling you have until you finally fall asleep.... Think of that lasting for 2 WEEKS or more Depending on how your brain/body chemistry is effected .... instead of a few hours... This is why you should never do Trams with Coke as the combined effects will totally confuse your body and it will just shut down from over loaded receptors... It will make you wish you smoke crystal meth until your teeth fell out it's that bad....

Then again I can completely understand some people getting loads of pleasure... For those people talk to your Dr! You need a legal RX for Depression etc...

this is why a taper schedule should be administered, I posted on in this thread a few posts back.
 
does anyone have any experience with going over the 400mg / day limit. the most i have taken i think was 450 or 500. i know its not set in stone, im just curious bc i kind of want to try to catch a buzz but im guessing i will need 800-1000 mg . dont really want to take that much all at once though.
 
Were you high the first times you used tramadol? Maybe it's just not a drug for you, and 800/1000mg won't change much and still be risky.
 
It is a gamble the whole way. I take 1200 to 1300 mg's a day and have had no problems, although I upped that dosage the last two days to 1800 mg's, due to the sciatica I am experiencing. But I will be holding to the 12/13 I have gotten it down too for today. I was up to 1600 on a regular basis, but I have to ween that down and am doing so through a slow taper. I was also prescribed 10 Hydrocodone 5/500's this past Sunday when I went to the ER for the back pain (sciatica), but they did little if anything for the pain. Some people love hydro/tramadol together for the extra effect it gives them. I am one of those who get nothing from hydro if I am on tramadol. Well let me take that back. I did get some pain relief, but the junky in me wanted some hydro bliss, but nothing was forthcoming! :-( I had to go back to the ER today as I could not stand the pain, and I don't have a really low tolerance for pain, but I missed work Mon/Tues, and again today. I was given a cortisone shot and an oral cortisone pack to start on tomorrow. I was also prescribed 40 Vicoden 7.5/750's.
But hopfully things will improve and I go to the ortho next week to see exactly what has happened.

Man I sure can ramble. Maybe it's those 4 VikeES's I ate 45 mins ago. And here I said they had no effect!!!
 
Yeah, I used to take over 1000mg every day and I didnt have a seizure although, I worried about it a lot. Its a very expensive habit though.

The drug definitely does its job with pain relief though. I felt nothing.
 
basically i wanna sleep and tramadol is the only thing in my house and the pack says it causes drowsiness. will it help?
i took 6 so i fuckin hope so!
 
hahaha, there's nothing as healthy and wise as taking random tablets with "drowsiness" on them.
I think you won't sleep. For next 6 hours or longer. ;)
6 tablets a' 50mg?
 
Day 4 of the above reduction regime. Physically feel like I have heavy dose of flu with awful aching joints. Moodwise tearful and feelings of total and utter hopelessness. Luckily my partner is supportive and has locked away the tram otherwise I would have been tempted to end this pain. Agree with a poster on here who has suggested an anti-depressant such as an ssri, perhaps citalopram. Twenty years ago I gave up H and this is almost as unpleasant. Please, if anybody is considering taking it recreationally be aware that it can be extremely unpleasant when you decide to stop. Awful shit.

If you are finding it difficult you can do what I am doing right now, stall out for a few days on the same dose. So long as you do not increase your dose it is still progress. I've been doing a DHC taper and had to stall out at 120mg in the am and 100mg in the pm because it got too uncomfortable. I'm going to stay at 120/100 until I am comfortable then continue to taper.

It gets better bro I promise you.

well i was lucky! yeah they were 50mg i got a bit dizzy and hot and then felt proper dreamy and had the nicest sleep but woke up still feeling dreamy as fuck but so nice :)
still, don't think i'll be taking them again! %);)
 
hey has anyone used cialis and tramadol at the same time? Cialis gives me a headache so I was wondering if trams might help with that, but then again it might make it worse...

Its nearly impossible to cum on tramadol, so if your gonna be having sex you prolly don't wanna take tramadol it will ruin your enjoyment, unless your one of those people who likes to fuck for 8 hours with out getting off.
 
Tramadol is weird. I agree that it is good for w/d from other opiates, but other than that, I find it pretty worthless. I take it when I don't have anything else, which sometimes is for a week or more. It seems like it has made my tolerance go up for the vicodin and percocets. cause if i haven't taken those for over a week, then i should be able to take less than what i had been taking, but it doesn't ever work like that. sucks
 
I've used tramadol to keep the wd's away from oxy/hydrocodone abuse before. While I do not condone this much, I was taking 9 50mg tabs every 8 hours, or 1350mg/day roughly. That was peak use. When I would first start, I could get by with 5 or 6 50mg tabs every 8-10 hours. Didn't get a buzz, just kept the sickness at bay...
 
i was using over 400mg a day sometimes. after my script ran out i thought i would be fine, especially since i had some benzos around, too. well, the w/d was awful. my legs ached, i was hot, cold, sweaty, restless, no sleep for several days. extreme depression. 15mg of clonazepam didn't even put me out.

i thought this stuff was a joke until i went through this a couple weeks ago. i'll make sure i taper next time considering over 7 tabs of 2mg klonopins didn't seem to do much with this chemical (tramadol). i'm willing to bet a lot had to do with the SSRI effects of this chemical, because this was like hydrocodone/oxycodone withdrawal with EXTREME depression/futility. it was pretty fucking bad for what you do get out of it. very unexpected.

it does wonders for my thoracic injury and all the shit associated with my right shoulder/arm because of my occupation, but after going through another hell, ill be weary and vigilant about my use from now on.
 
trammies sure does fuck you up the next day... so tired, wanting to nod off! and still itchy as fuck. mind you, it did potentiate my nang experience a few notches up so its not without its benefits...
