Same here man, I've been taking Tramadol rather erratically for a long,long time and when it's over it's over,no discomfort,no WDs,nothing...but yeah,always in combination with Bupre and at relatively low doses(200mgs or even less) ...lol,the other day I read some stuff about some dude who was doing like 1.5 GRAMS of Tram/daily,I mean ,Wtf,if you're that reckless or whatever, it might just be kinda awkward to quit.As for the synergy,it's definitely a thumbs up if you wish to add some "colour" to your Subs.
I was one of those guys who always got the most amazing high from Tramadol. I started taking it after a shoulder injury, and being opioid naive, I quickly discovered that 100mg of Tramadol would make me feel fucking great... and for the longest time too... like 12 hours, or even all day long. Euphoria, extraversion (introvert by nature), feelings of well being... the whole 9. Well, after a few days, I wanted to see how good I could feel, so I went up to 150mg, then 200mg.... Wow... Bliss. Thing is, the tolerance kept getting in the way and before I knew it I was taking 8 pills a day (400mg) just to get high.
That was when I switched from being a guy who took Tramadol to feel great, to being a guy who took Tramadol to stave off any WD's, which, for me, were the most horrible feeling in the world. The worst pain, RLS, upper respitory issues, body aches, ringing ears, electric shocks, etc., etc.... So I kept on increasing the dose. Nine... Ten, 11, 12, 13, 15, 20, 25... Just before I tried to find help (and found it with a very good doc prescribing suboxone), I was taking 32 50mg trams a day. 25 or 26 in the morning in one huge handful, followed by 6 or 7 at night before bed. And that didn't even get me high. Just sort of made me space out for an hour... but it was keeping the WD's away.
Anyway, this thread has been a wealth of information... I hope someone can answer my question above.
Also, as an aside, to the guys discussing dosage much earlier in this thread, I can attest to the less is more idea with suboxone. If I take my 2 8mg strips daily as prescribed I don't get much of a buzz, but if I take a quarter of a strip or half in the morning, and perhaps wait a few hours after I start to feel uncomfortable, that 8mg strip at night hits pretty damn hard then and that doesn't seem to go away... Not even weeks later. Still getting a buzz. It's a big waste to double-dose or anything like that... much better to follow the less is more ideology.
