So the other day I went ahead and tried Tramadol for the first time. I took it at about 10:30 at night (200mgs), along with 1mg of clonazepam. Had supper and headed towards a friend's house to pick her up and meet some other friends.

I started feeling a bit "speedy" and chatty about 20 mins later. I was in the car with my dad, and normally I dont talk much with him, but shit, I started having some fun conversations with him (of which I cannot remember, I just know I felt good). Got to my friend's house and her father was there, whom I had not seen for a long time. Started chatting quite a bit with him and by now, about 45 mins after the dose, I was feeling some mild euphoria. Went out to the balcony, which has a nice view of the city and shit, it felt beautiful. Called a girl that I am chatting up and had some good conversation.

Went to pick other friends but they were still having dinner. By now I am feeling a bit as my first time on coke, confident, mildly euphoric and chatty. Both my friend and I waited for these other guys, and we were having some fun conversations. However, by now (1.30 hours after ingestion) I feel my eyes starting to close and nodding off. Shit, I find it extremely difficult to keep my eyes open and my friend notices it. I just say I am on some medication that makes me feel sleepy. I also start feeling a bit nauseous, and from what i remember, anxious. I tell her to go for a walk and I take out my mp3 player. Play some music that we both like and I inmeadetely start feeling better. Start smoking cigarrettes and suddenly feel energetic. Friends finish dinner and we head out to nightclub. The feelings of nausea and anxiety start now rollercoasting on me. I go from feeling euphoric to nauseous.

As soon as we hit the nightclub, however, I feel charged (3.00 hours after ingestion). Start downing diet cokes like a king (I do not drink alcohol, hate it), and shit, I am feeling quite good by now. I am guessing the low dose klonnie is disinhibiting me a bit, as I start chatting with people I dont know. Hell, I chatted this girl out of the blue and pulled her in like 5 minutes. I am feeling overly confident, and dance, chat with girls, with friends and have a blast of a time. It is now 4 hours after ingestion and I am feeling good. 2 more hours go by and feeling starts to subside, so taking more T goes through my head. I rethink about it but say no, it is my first time, want to see how far 200mgs will take me. My friends leave the nightclub, so does the girl I pulled, but I stay. Keep chatting up girls and having a good time, but I start feeling tired and nodding off again. Eyes feel very heavy, but I make a big effort to stay awake. It is now 7 in the morning and I am quite tired. Get some quick breakfast with another friend and by now I am falling asleep. Catch tube back home and go to bed at about 9 in the morning.

Slept till 7 in evening, woke up, ate something, went back to bed and woke up refreshed at 7 in the morning next day, ready to hit work.

I am looking forward to doing this combo again next weekend.
 
Good report. Tramadol is not something I want to try, but it does seem interesting. I have no comment to make; no one replied, so I figured I would because your report is interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. You almost make me want to try it=)
 
Tramadol is a wierd chem. It's technically an opioid, but an atypical opioid. It noodles with serotonin reuptake, much like a traditional SSRI, except tramadol produces instantly noticeable effects, where as your other SSRI drugs, such as prozac take up to two weeks to start working. I understand that there are clinical trials being done in Europe using tramadol as an antidepressant. I think that the results have been positive.

Anyway, when tramadol was introduced (as Ultram, by McNeil pharma) is was touted as a centrally acting pain reliever for mild to moderate pain with no abuse liability and no potential for addiction. Does that line sound familiar to anyone? I think that's what Bayer said about Heroin when it was first introduced.

But I digress. Some people absolutely love tramadol, some people hate it and think that it's worthless. It's a strange opioid for sure. I recall someone on this site saying that she preferred tramadol to even oxycodone or heroin.
That being said, when I first tried it, I loved it. Very nice synthetic opioid feeling, but with a stimulating edge. However, with more and more use, that euphoria gradually became dysphoria. Now, no matter how I try, I can't capture that feeling that I used to get. Sometimes I feel downright awful after taking it.

The plus side is that most doctors won't hesitate to write a good sized RX if you ask them. I used to have a Dr. that would write me just about anything I asked for, and when I asked for Ultram he asked me how many I wanted. Cool doc to say the least.

Anyway, if it does it for you, by all means enjoy it. But try and keep the use down to once a week at the most. I think that is why I don't get off on it anymore. I took it too frequently.

As a final note, it is a decent pain killer for headaches and body aches, and a bottle of 180 can be had online overnite for about $100.

Its effects tend to vary unpredictably for me. I've taken 200mg before with little effect, and 100mg at another time which resulted in profuse sweating, pinpoint pupils, anxiety/agitation and a very foggy head space.

Frankly I'm not sure I trust this substance. It's just damn weird.
 
All fur times i have tried it from different batches i got a fucking terrible headache, doesnt go well with me. .(

I know what you mean, I started taking Prozac about a month and a half ago and I can definetly say that the first week is horrible, but afterwards is better and then in about a month you feel so much better daily.
 
A quick update.

I have since upped the dosage to 300mgs overall (200mgs at hour 0 and 100mgs at about 4 hours laters), plus 1mgs kpin. Works wonders so far, but I find that I spend the whole day-after sleeping (sunday). It has been confirmed in my case, when i get home at about 7 in the morning, go to sleep, wake up at 5PM have something to eat, go back to bed and wake up at 7PM Monday refreshed. My use is limited to saturday nights only.

Last sunday I also woke up with a very painful right eyeball, and since yesterday, I have been having these sudden moderate heahaches (as if a pin was penetrating my brain) which are short busted, and could have to do something with tramadol being a slight MAOI (¿?).

I might rest the tramadol this weekend, and do something else. Have some kava extract I'd like to give a go, amongst other goodies.
 
PLease be careful when taking large doses of Tramadol, Im not sure of the exact figure right now, but I believe at some point there is a risk of seizure from too much Ultram! I know 300 mg is only like 6 pills, but please please be careful, maybe F&B could chime in and give specific figure!
 
I think ultram is great, it makes me want to clean house, do schoolwork, etc...
I am also more into sex when on it.
 
I have read that you are not suppose to take more than 400mg per day/which is 8 pills

That's what the Americans said, the inventors of Tramadol and company that first introduced it, Grünenthal knew from the begining when it was released onto the market that it had recreational and addictive properties.
 
It's a nice little drug I find. Wouldn't want to go out on it, but rather have a nice long chat with the gf or a group of friends in a warm room.

Makes me nod slightly.
 
yeah its a good to just chill maybe and talk about nothing with someone who's willing to listen

ive been on tramadol for nearly 18month or so now, and it says not to exceed 400mg/daily otherwise seizures may occur. i know its against harm reduction but i have taken in excess of 1000mg in a day (mix of 100/200mg sr tabs, some crushed, some left as is) and have not had any ill effects induced on me.

by no means am i saying go drop an extreme amount of tramas and youll be fine, but in my case i have been fine. i strongly recommend against it. and for another personal reference i have been on 600mg + of tramadol, temazepam and/or valium with iv 80mg oxycondone on top of it and experienced no ill effects. just extreme euphoria or euphoria/stimulatiom (which is generally reported with tramadol...and a red raw nose and legs and back ;) :\ =D )

travel safe all.
 
I think it depends a lot on how fast you jump up to bigger dosages, I've also used rather large amounts of Tramadol (in the 1000mg) range, personally I couldn't go out on it, I'm usually quite content either alone listening to music and watching music vids (for some reason that intensely appeals to me when I drop it), or with my usual dropping buddy starting conversations about things which make no sense, yet both of us seemingly understand.

I'd definitely never take greater than 300mg if I was going to mix it with anything however.
 
Has anyone experienced troubles sleeping on tramal?
When i take tramadol it's usualy about 500mg+ to obtain the euphoria these days. I get tired, go to bed but i find i wake up almost every hour with a very restless sleep and probably end up sleeping 4 hours max.

I'm going to lay off tramadol for quite a while. It's gotten to a point where I have to keep increasing my dose because it hardly touches me anymore. The day after, the side effects greatly out weigh the euphoria. It's just not worth it anymore.

Good report by the way.
 
I've done over 1000mg of tramadol for a high. It's wierd stuff and your tolerance builds up REALLY fast. I HAVE had seizures on the stuff so bee careful ;)

It's pretty much a forgone conclusion for me that I won't be sleeping anytime soon after taking it, always end up feeling quite rested the next day however though . I've been off it totally for three months or so now to let my tolerance drop off a bit, I was in the same boat as you with the increasing dose issue, but I'm just about ready to go back.
 
so, sorry just a quick question.

how does tramadol effect ecstasy consumption ( cause i read here about talk of MAOI's and SSRI's). im wonderin cause iv taken tramadol one night than E the night before.

but yeh, to say for my experience. Tramadol made me nausea's and i liked it, the same as i enjoy nausea from alcohol. But i hate the nausea you get from weed. tramamdol made me slighly happy, perhaps not so much euphoric.
