I have rarely ever taken any kind of prescription pill. I was on ritalin from 4th grade through 7th and then adderall through 9th grade then i took myself off. In jr high i was also on a anti psychotic medication called Arispidal or something? i can't remember. it mainly had me....well high pretty much, dazed out and cloudy headed so i wouldn't lose my temper and put someone else in the hospital (hehe), in all seriousness i have aspergers syndrome and at that point it was believed i was mildly schizophrenic and i had serious violence issues growing up, therefore for a number of years i was on several schizophrenia medications but all that pill popping was over by 10th grade.

I recently found some old 50mg tramadol from my dog before it passed away. I have about 30 50mg pills and i could use the analgesic to make my work day easier with shin splints, but i am not above searching for some recreational value, i hear its kind of elusive. I'm ready to give it a try, but i'm wary of pills, my mom was on somas and heroin for years when i was growing up and all my friends are on xanax and percs. i'm not interested in losing my life for a cheap thrill, i'll stick to my daily marijuana use thank you! I am interested in exploring beyond marijuana, mushrooms, and lsd.

I need to know the ways to stay safe. What is a good starting dose for someone like me? I have asthma, possibly diabeetus, and pre heart disease related to obesity (290lbs). My mom recently died of complications of diabetes and heart disease related to her obesity, i realize this is not a joke! i'm working on weight loss very hard right now and i've done very well :)

thank you for any tips and advice

any advice would be greatly appreciated. this morning to took a 50mg and waited 3 hours. i felt like something was up but not a high. i then took 100mg and felt a little bit more, mostly just slight mood lift, some dizzyness, and slight drowsiness. i'm thinking of trying 200mg tomorrow, but that scares me because its getting closer to the seizure thresh hold

One thing I will say is opioids, even though Tramadol is a pretty weak one, make you crave sweats and do not encourage exercise. I don't know about Tramadol, it might be a little speedier. But the only opioid I ever exercise on regularly is suboxone, because eventually it gets to feeling like being on nothing at all.

Just look at Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, he got addicted to heroin and became lazy and huge. I think people often associate heroin and similar drugs with being skinny, but that is really just when people get to a point where spending money on drugs is more important than food and not being able to eat because your dopesick half the time. For someone with plenty of money or supply to maintain a daily habit you more likely will gain weight.

As for the dose it seems what you are doing is the common sense safe way to use any drug You start low, at a threshold dose for most people, bump up from there depending on effects. Tramadol's a bit trickier cause of the whole seizure issue, I think 200 mg is safe, but if you are not getting much from that there is no reason to go higher. At that point I doubt 50-100 mg more is going to be much different, but could be a lot more dangerous.
 
Tramadol affects everyone differently. Some absolutely love most hate it. It depends on your body chemistry.
 
I can understand why it's controversial. I wasn't able to make a decision as to weather or not i enjoyed the experience today, i keep feeling kind of like i didn't really enjoy it. i got some severe nausea that lasted about 20 min then went away. Although i did enjoy the fact that i was able to function more while on it than with marijuana. When i'm on marijuana i can function, but it's obvious i'm high. With this no one was able to tell, and i get the feeling that as the dose increases and the effects become more pronounced it's gonna stay the same, so i feel like giving it a few tries, maybe i have found something here?
 
Take some anti-nausea meds beforehand. Then you'll really be able to tell if you enjoy it or not.

I was thinking of smoking a joint about the time the nausea hits, i've read that tramadol and marijuana is a very good combo and safe.
 
I love using tramadol occasionally when I don't have a tolerance to opiods.

The last time I took 250mgs I even managed to have a slight nod. It seems to last all day for me to for some reason so I usually would take it when I first wake up in the morning. Don't ever go above the 400mg mark like you probably know because of the possibility of a seizure. If you keep your tramadol use to a once in awhile thing it can be really great, at times when I took it daily it lost it's initial appeal due to tolerance.

i totally agree. I've done it a few times now and i'm mainly using it at work to help with social anxiety and stress, i don't go over 150mg and i get a nice buzz that lasts most of my work day. i've done 200mg and when i add a little bit of cannabis in...i nod. i'm not really into that feeling, but i'm not hating it, it's more of a neutral side effect for me
 
Hope u know about the seizures bud over 400mg in one go u may well start break dancing, I had a minor one that I managed to come out of thank fuck , stay safe ;)
 
Aye it is a bit gnarly Tramadol. But like someone mentioned above, I know of one person in particular and she classes it as her 'wonder drug'.

I find it a rather curious/dull buzz.
Won't be bothering with it again I doubt.
 
I really didn't want to post this because I believe I am a unique case when it comes to Trams and I wouldn't want anyone to take as many as I do for their safety. I've been taking trams whenever they were available to me for years. The first time I took about 4 just to see how they would effect me before dosing higher. Didn't feel much-took 4 more-still wasn't satisfied- took 4 more...... all of this was before I did any research about trams and knew about the seizure effects. That first time I ended up taking 25 50mg pill over a period of about 3 hours. I felt great and had no problems/no seizures. Now when I use trams for recreation I take 30 - 40 50mg pills in about a 6 - 8 hour period. Never had a seizure or any other problems other than not being able to pee. After doing the research I realize I'm lucky I don't seize out massively. I don't understand why Idon't at such a high dose, but I've ate trams like that several times and never did. I guess for whatever reason I have a natural very high seizure threshhold.
But I wonder if i keep doing this my luck will run out and I will eventually seize. I just poped 13 50mg which is usually what I start out with. I've got 46 more to keep me going for a while. PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT THIS DOSE! All the research I've done indicates that after about 400 mg seizures start becoming a risk. Like I said I must be unique in this manner.

Anyone else been able to take trams like this? Any eventual bad experiences?
 
CMP - you're not alone in that mate, the first few times I had trams I also took a very silly amount. After I became aware I was kinda of the attitude that 'I didn't fit out first time round...' But I was a proper drug pig around that time.
I don't want to share how many I took but there were 50mg capsules and some 100mg slow release caps. I don't like either!
I remember being really pissed off after opening a capsule and pouring out it's innards so I could sniff them, and all these weird little rock solid balls the size of pinheads came bouncing out! Completely uncrushable!

Tbh though I think tramadol is a nasty, nasty drug. It just feels so synthetic.. They make me feel wired, can't imagine ever gouching on trams.

I like em a lot. I've heard of lots of other people who don't though. But I think they're great! (As long as I got about 40 of em)

Do you ever worry that you will seize out? I know you don't need telling this but be careful, stay safe. You take so many! I think they go quite nicely with ket and valium.

So why is it that tramadol carries such a high risk of seizure. I imagine WDs would be a bloody nightmare and mega dangerous :/
 
Tramadol carries a risk of seizures because of its stimulating properties. Tramadol can upset the seizure threshold, by overturning the brains natural balance of relaxation, into excessive excitation, resulting in seizures. This drug happens to be a serotonin releasing agent, and reuptake inhibitor, amongst many other properties.

If you're still taking anti-psychotic medication, they can negate many of tramadol's analgesic properties, as tramadol is heavily reliant on its SNRI properties (which anti-psychotics antagonize) to induce analgesia. This antagonism can also affect tramadol's mood enhancing properties. Also, combining anti-psychotics and tramadol should not be done without a doctors supervision, as anti-psychotic medications also sabotage the seizure threshold.

A good starting dose would be 50-100 milligrams, to a maximum of 200 milligrams titrated up slowly for a non-tolerant user. Having said that, there is some evidence that seizures caused by tramadol are not dose dependent. Meaning the likelihood of a seizure relies on your individual chemistry, more specifically, how robust your seizure threshold is, rather than the ingested dose.

I take that many cause that's how many I need to get off. I do worry a little that one of these times I'll seize but I've been eating trams like that for years (just when they become avail to me) and never had anything close to a seizure. Nor have I ever had any withdrawals. My drug of choice are opiates. I've binged for weeks on everything from oxy's, dilaudids, to bangin H. I shit you not when I say I've never even been dope sick! I don't know why, but I would like to if anyone hs any ideas!?!

Nothing to worry about.

It's always better etiquette to start your own thread if you have bespoke questions, rather than hijack a thread and take it in another direction. Thanks for doing so.
