My introduction to Tramadol came when I needed to take it for pain relief.
I knew it was a synthetic opiate drug but had no experience of opiate drugs and so no idea what to expect from it.
I had got a supply of the effervescent Tramadol that came as large powdery tablets with a menthyl flavour that dissolve quickly in water. They actually had more of a lemon flavour and turned water fizzy. It was like drinking lemonade and quite pleasant probably due to the artificial sweeteners heaped in, including the nasty Aspartame. I put this out of my mind, dropped one 50mg tablet into a glass of water and gulped it down and waited to see what would happen. I wasn't expecting much but boy was in for a shock.
The onset was rapid within about 10-15 minutes. It started as a warm tingly feeling in the arms and legs, which spread to the fingers and back of the neck. It was like being stroked from the inside.
My mood before taking the Tramadol wasn't very good, I was feeling a bit depressed and low, and I had extremely low energy and motivation which had been plaguing me for weeks. I was lounging around the house not doing much, even though it was the middle of summer. Everyone was enjoying themselves outside, but with my social anxiety disorder, I didn't feel able to go out and had become more reclusive and withdrawn.
As the physical effects continued to build up I knew this was no ordinary painkiller and this was something very special. The only time I had felt physical pleasure of this kind was from getting high on weed. Only this was different, much more clear and clean. I suddenly felt very happy and euphoric, energised and uplifted, but completely calm and stable. My depression and bad feelings just vanished and for the first time in weeks I felt like going outside.
I went for a long bike ride in the countryside and everything was heightened and pleasurable. The warmth of the sun, the colours and sounds of nature, and the breeze of the wind on my skin..everything just felt wonderful and I was so happy to be alive. I even found myself smiling at strangers and greeting them with genuine empathy towards them. Extremely unusual for me.
I have never tried E but I wondered from the reports I've read, if what I was feeling might be something like taking E. At times I felt like I was tripping slightly, things seemed vivid and heightened, and I was happy to just go off into my own little world of thoughts and explore memories and feelings, and at other times I felt at one with the world, a great sense of inner peace and just belonging.
I continued to use the tablets for the next couple of months. Taking one with breakfast became like a ritual. I would go out running and exercising because i was just so motivated and energised. Exercise was so much easier. I actually managed to get very fit and healthy thanks to Tramadol and was getting out more too instead of moping around indoors every day, which did wonders for my anxiety and confidence.
Eventually my tablets ran out and I was unable to get anymore of the effervescent and my pharmacy gave me the regular pills instead. To my horror these didn't have the same effect as the effervescent tablets. The euphoria and loved up motivated feeling was gone. Although the regular pills did help energy levels and mood, they also increased anxiety and agitation over time, so I eventually had to stop taking them.
I've never seen the effervescent Tramadol tablets since, but I would love to try them again to see whether they are indeed unique, or whether I had just developed some tolerance from prolonged usage.
