Opioids Tramadol experiences

[jake99]

just curious what peoples experiences with TRamadol are..............Some ppl say its so weak if you have any tolerance it wont do crap for you . others say although it is that weak , it still helps people when they are coming off hard opiates like dope .............i was prescribed them for a injury so just curious

 

[jake99]

also i was on methadone for about 2 months , first month going from 30 up to 80, then last 2 wks went down to 55...............I cant stay on the clinic any longer so I am going to have to wait about 72 hours and then try to kick with 5 8 mg suboxones..........................So someone told me the tramadol could help too......Would it make more sense to take them with the subs or after the subs are gone ? I have about 60 of them , they wouldnt end up just prolonging with drawals would they

If you are coming off 55mg methadone then Tramadol may give you slight relief but I doubt it. The most tram you can take in a day without risking seizures is 400mg, which probably won't do a lot for you. If you can slowly taper down with subs perhaps tram would help when they run out.

Just be sure not to take more than 400mg tramadol in 24 hours.

Although I certainly agree with the advice of not going over the 400mg level, given the risk of seizure and whatnot, I've used up to 1400mg without problem, albeit being pretty out of it.

I find the drug to be most useful in terms of it's potent antidepresant qualitites. Like THE BEST ANTIDEPRESSANT EVER!

Can't really speak to the methadone issues. Was the first opiate I ever took, and loooooooved it, I only have used something like a collective 20 or 50mgs over my entire life, which I know is nothing in comparison to what folks in maintain programs are dealing with (shit, I can't even imagine taking 160mgs!).

That being said, 300mg will def help with withdrawals, although you'd probably want to taper as much as possble. Once you're down and feel comphy with the meth you might want to integrate 300-400mg into your routine, then get of the meth completely when you feel comfy, continuing the tramadol of course.

On a side note, I find the ER 100mg tramadol/ultram pills way more effective mg for mg when compared to IR formulations (just remember to crush up the ER taps. For instance, it basically feels better when I'm on 200mg of ER tram than 400mg of IR tram. Of course, this might just be me, but who knows.

Tram would definitely be very useful in detoxing from meth though a handful of people who've done this, one with even a maintenance dose of 160mg, on that for about two years, and even he benefited from what I described. A good support group/system than can help you and that you feel comfotable coming to for help is also a much in this situation, although that whole thing is up to you and you know how support networks work for you (and if not, why not try them out - some really suck though, so just remember to keep an open mind, but yea, I've had some horrible experiences around those lines so, yea...).

Best of luck, but tramadol is definitely a good place to start! BEST OF LUCK AND BEST WISHES > You'll be in my thoughts!

p.s. Given it's SSRI properties, just for the record, I might be a little biased given how much positive stuff it's done in my life. But it did also help a couple friends of mine, so who knows. Might just help, if not also actually help you.

That all being said, good luck!

Meh if you've never had an opiate before tramadols effects will be enjoyed .

I've tried tram b4 I had any opiates and it gave me a nice high.

I recently tried them again after having a dose of oxy and also some hydromorph.
Had a 20min small buzz but that's about it

As others have hinted (humorously but perhaps not so subtly) this topic has been covered countless times here before. The Other Drugs Directory has an entire section on Tramadol and you can find a mountain of info from a previous search.

If you have further questions about Tramadol, consider posting in Basic Drug Discussion rather than Other Drugs.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about this.
