I'm very experienced with tramadol, but only using it for withdrawal purposes in the past (I was hooked on OCs, methadone, and heroin). I've been clean for almost three months, but I've felt something missing. After talking to some people here on Bluelight, and doing my own independent research, I came to the conclusion that, after 3.5 years of constant ecstasy use followed by five years of opiate addiction, I definitely needed some sort of antidepressant. I didn't want a traditional one, though, because of the unwanted side effects and the time it takes to build up a noticable, working level in your bloodstream. I decided that tramadol would seriously help my situation, as I had no motivation or will to do anything since quitting the opiates. I'm always in a bad mood and zero interest in anything.

I ordered 120 50mg tablets from a reputable online pharmacy and they arrived today (a day late, even though I paid an extra $30 for next-day air). The doorbell rang at 12:15pm and it was the DHL delivery guy. As soon as I opened the package I chewed up four of them and called an old buddy of mine that moved up to Philly (he has a current perc habit).

Thirty minutes went by and as I stood up to grab a Sunkist out of the fridge I felt extremely light on my feet. I smiled - a genuine smile for the first time in months and months. I decided to go online and see if any of my favorite sites were open and to check my e-mail about some business deals (I just started working online). I felt pretty good and decided to take one more - totalling 250 mg.

I suddenly had motivation to get some work that I had been putting off over with. I'm a total procrastinator but with the tramadol pumping through me I'm happy to get things done. I'm the motivated person that I used to be. I can set goals and enjoy life again.

Today is the only day that I'm going to go overboard on my tramadol usage. I'm going to take 100mg. 4-times a day starting tomorrow to regulate my mood.

Thank you tramadol. You made me feel alive again.
 
Careful, man... I can relate to your predicament but it could be very, very easy for you to slip back into opiate addiction. Even if you only use tramadol, tramadol is still an addictive opiate that can get expensive, quick once you have a tolerance. And 100mg 4 times per day is a great way to build up a tolerance, quick.

Glad you've found something to help you, and I applaud you on your decision to stay off modern anti-depressants, but just please be careful...

Good report, also :)
 
i think 200mg at once is alot if you just want its antidepressant properties.

also, just in case you're not already aware, understand there's a dose where you get seizures, for some people it's as low as 400mg
