Tramadol dose..moderate opiate tolerance?

Not a favorite of mine but it works when your fiendin for opiates. Can someone tell me how you would act right before you would encounter a seizure from tramadol? The thought of having one while on tramadol gives me anxiety kind of. So you don't think 300mgs would give me one? I know theirs no definite answer cause everyone's body chemistry is different but just want opinions

I've had many seizures on tramadol and its not fun. you are not likely to have a seizure if you use once in a while at doses under 400. I personally have never had a seizure at doses under 700mg in a 24 hour period. Im 5'10" 165lbs. Above 700mg I will start having little jolts, like you are suddenly waking up from a falling dream, but you weren't asleep. Your limbs may twitch like once or twice every 5 min or so starting about 25-30min after dosing. Depending on how high the dose is you can have a full blown seizure anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes after taking tramadol. If it has been an hour and a half since I dosed I will no longer worry about a seizure.

If I start to feel jolts or I start to twitch I will immediately pull my trigger (throw up) then go lay down. Out of all my ODs, injuries from falling were the worst, none were lasting, and I bit my tongue pretty bad once. If you're really worried I would recommend calling an ambulance and telling anyone you are with exactly what you took incase you become unconscious.

Yeah so far I haven't twitched at all while being prescribed it. Aside from the first day I took 350mgs and my leg twitched a couple times but no seizures yet. Yesterday was my biggest dose as I took 400mgs but it was fine. Weird the way tramadol works tonight I dosed 300mgs and for some reason I feel the best I've felt out of any dose I've done the past week and I have a moderate tolerance to opiates about 35-40mgs oxycodone. I wonder if its mainly the SSRI properties of it that makes me good but I feel also a little relaxed and opiated of course not as strong as other Opiates but today idk I just feel great! Yeah after reading more and more about tramadol seizures I read for the most part their over rated though possible their just not as common by themselves (not mixed with other drugs) or at low doses (350mgs and below) as people think. SoI feel more comfortable dosing now. Though still some slight anxiety over the thought I feel better. How does tramadol effect you? Do you feel good as well? You get what Im trying to say about it hitting me weird lol
 
I think you may feel better tonight even though you took a smaller dose because tramadol is metabolized more efficiently when tramadol is already in your system. Since the metabolites are way stronger than tramadol itself. The metabolites also have a longer half life, I think around 9 hours, so yesterdays dose was still active in your system when you took today"s dose. That's why I like to stagger my dose. I will take 50-100mg initially then 45 minutes to an hour take the rest of the dose.

I'm a little more opiate tolerant than you 50-60mg oxycodone. I'm no doctor and this is just my opinion, but I feel like the SNRI effects are more prevalent in the first hour or two. This is usually when I get an energy boost, a couple mild short rushes of euphoria and am in a sustained elevated mood. As two hours pass I feel the opiate buzz taking hold, although significantly more mild and somewhat different from an oxycodone buzz, I still get an opiate itch. I've never came close to nodding on tram, but once I do go to bed I can sleep for 13 to 14+ hours easy and wake up feeling great.

I highly recommend smoking some weed a few times in the first few hours after dosing with tramadol. Tram definitely potentiates marijuana for me to a great extent.

Just keep in mind that tram stays in your system for much longer than most opiates. So don't go taking 400mg as an after dinner dose then decide to dose at brunch the next day. Repeated high dosing on consecutive days greatly increases your risk of seizure.
