I am prescribed 100mg of Tramadol 3x/day...it does absolutely nothing for me in the feeling good sense. But, as was said, some do get a pleasant feeling. I'm not sure, because I haven't researched it...but from talking w others, it seems heroin addicts (me formerly) don't get any effect. I only spoke w either heroin addicts or pill addicts on this subject....since you aren't an opiate user, just be careful. Everyone is different and can have varying effects-what obliterates one person does nothing for another. You just never know. Start low, and always be safe.
