Tramadol habit prior to rolling -harm reduction question

I hear you. I have no idea how to quantify the seretogenic effects of tramadol but I do know that tram potentates itself. For example, if you took a single dose of 200mg all at once, the effects are less than taking 4 50mg pills every hour for 4 hours...

I think the other blue lighters are talking in general about tram and MDMA use but with some differences between regular vs rare users. To the point: if you only took tram once and had 36 hours between the dose and your roll the chance of any interactions is less than a daily tram user who takes the same dose and same time between the tram and MDMA. Tram has a long half-life and the drug can build up in your system. Your body adapts and stops producing its normal level of serotonin and norepinephrine. Upon cessation of the tram it takes a long while for your body to balance itself...hence, the snri withdrawal symptoms.

You are absolutely right that your oxy use has increased your tolerance on the tram opiate effects, but the tram/MDMA concers are really about the snri side of tram. Further, the 400mg cap on daily tramadol intake is driven by the lowered seizure threshold of tram...not the opioid effects or the snri. Generally speaking, you should never exceed 400mg in a 24 hour period and to be safe, you should try to stay below that. Granted, I am a hypocrit here as I take 350-400mg daily...but am trying to taper that down.

Good call on skipping those trams this morning. While your safest play is to skip the e tonight, I think you will be ok with the 36 hour break. Just take it slow and don't go crazy and gobble multiple pills tonight. Also keep in mind that your roll might have a delayed onset and could be diminished by the lingering effects of the tram snri in your system. I will refer agin to shambles who know about SS well...24 hours on either side is the minimum to avoid SS...the more he better. If you take the e tonight, do not start back on the trams until Sunday at the earliest.

Good luck bro...please report back.
 
Thanks for the quick response...i will take it easy around 10/11pm...i know the pills are clean...no trams today...if i need something i guess ill substitute some oxy if i have withdrawls....a shame because im proud of not taking them for a couple months..ill go easy with a half a pill to start...no alcohol and be aware of delayed onset...from what im reading half life is under 8 hours for trams so hopefully all should be well....so your saying you shouldnt even take any trams the day after rolling?
 
Correct- leave 24 hours on the other side of taking your roll before taking tram again...the longer the break, the better but 24 hours should be fine. The complications of taking tram after your roll are less severe than before but can still be unpleasant. Give your body another 24 hours and you should be a-ok. Tram is a sneaky little pill, eh?
 
ya it is...i used to use a few when i was out of oxy to hold me over and it just helped with withdrawl....i went from subs to trams...somehow from a couple 50mg tabs to 200mg wheni wake up and then a couple more throughout the day....been like that for a couple months...was just happy to be off oxy but this doesnt seem any better to get off of....hopefully everything goes fine tonight, and im hoping the people that are hyped up about 2 or 300mg a day of tram realize to people who used to take oxy this drug isnt shit as far as effects.
