Tramadol always used to make me fiend for cigarettes. Today, when I dosed 400mg over the course of the day, as well as my daily 8mg of suboxone, well, I haven't really had any urges to smoke. I think I've smoked 1.5 cigs today, whereas I'd normally smoke 5-15 by this point in the day (been up 12hrs).

This happen to anyone else when using tramadol? It's really strange, but hey, I certainly can't complain about smoking a lot less.

Thanks for any and all feedback in advance!
 
not only the SNRI properties but i never craved cigs once i passed the 21 mg hydrocodone line. i've heard you can use codeine or hydrocodone to quit smoking, maybe it's because it replaces the endorphin release nicotine causes. basically your body doesn't need the endorphin fix when it's pumped full of opiates.

That is an interesting effect, as most traditional (strict mu-opioid agonists) opiates tend to encourage people to smoke more.

Take this as an opportunity to quit smoking IMO.

Totally my thoughts. TBH I really feel like a cig right now, but, then again, I haven't dosed an tramadol today yet. I'm gonna do that, eat, shower, and see how it goes then before I go out and have one. I'll be back and report then.

I'm also thinking of combining my daily piracetam with the tramadol and suboxone, and tagamet an diphen (=D). Probably a lower dose though...
 
I tried the nicotine patch...no positive results.
I would try the tram/sub patch.

Seriously, if you make this work for you and quit, it would be amazing.
I think anyone who's strong enough to quit after a long smoking habit is amazing.
I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Thanks token! I appreciate it. No smoking since I smoked literally a 1/5 of a cig this morning. No desire to go out and smoke either. Very wierd, but nice. Shit, I guess it I can quite heroin, I can do anything. But tbh I've always found quitting smoking to be a lot harder than heroin, given that it's legal and all.

And by this point I'm almost certain the tramadol does something that removes my urge to smoke...

Are you talking about a suboxone patch token? Or using the nicotine patch with the suboxone and tramadol? Thank again for the support! :)
 
TPD--it was just a dumb attempt at humor. I've tried the nicotine patch..no luck..
maybe I need to try a tramadol/sub patch instead.

Sounds like you're doing great so far!
I genuinely hope you can do it.
No need for thanks :)

Well, you've quit heroin..now hopefully cigs..soon, you'll be the best quitter around!

^ Haha weirdo <3

Yea, well, that sure would be nice. Still going strong. Taking a day off from the tramadol so I can enjoy some NMDA receptor antagonist action today. Taking a super potent one every two weeks or so makes a HUGE difference in terms of my cravings for drugs/cigs/compulsive behavior all around. Tis' my miracle drug. I just wished it worked so well for everyone (I'm still not convinced it doesn't). I'm confident that my switch up today will help me along not smoking even more than the tramadol has (which I know from experience, a strong NMDA antagonist allows me to control my desire for cigs 100%, it's almost creepy).

Whatever token, I still say, "Thanks." ;) :p

EDIT: MAAAAAAA I missed me 500th post :( Damn!
 
Strange one. Ive always found that o-dt made cigarettes hugely pleasurable and smooth and so i used to smoke quite heavily on ODT. Its weird that its parent drug would have the opposite effect.

Is there anyone here who has tried both Tramadol and O-dt ? How do their effects compare ? (apart from the smoking thing ) and how do the required dosages compare ?

Thanks.
 
TPD- I will blame the name calling on your lack of nicotine!
I've been called much worse though..about two months ago..
a moderator at another forum which I no longer frequent said that I post like a man..
and was pretending to be a woman!
To be sure..I googled each of my parts, and they all came back attributed to the female of our species.
So weirdo doesn't bother me one bit. :)

So, quitter..how'd yesterday work out?

Okay, i ended up smoking a bit, but still way less than normal. Today i was just thinking, wow,i have yet to have a cigarette and i have no interest in doing so.... prrrretty cool if you ask me!

Tbh, I don't really intend to stop smoking totally ATM,but it has been awesome that I've been able to cut down so much.

Thanks everyone for all the support!!! :) I can't tell you how much it means <3 =D

Oh! And I know it's the tramadol that is helping with not smoking, as i haven't taken anything other than 350mg today (well and some coffee and a sticky bun :))

I've done both.
200mg of tramadol (oral) does almost absolutely nothing for me
about 100mg of O-DT (intranasal) gives me a rush and gets me pretty high. Usually I'll keep doing more lines
 
The fact that you don't have the desire to smoke on tramadol is definitely because of it's anti-depressant effect. Some doctors actually prescribe anti-depressants, like Wellbutrin for people to quit smoking.
 
I actually went 12 hours without smoking a cigarette today...which is odd as I'm a pack a day smoker...apparently if I snort 3 phentermines, get on bluelight and play some old school PS2 (It's all I got), I can keep myself from smoking...

Doug! Maybe you should write a self-help book!
