Opioids What would a lover of norco like me expect to feel off tramadol?

So my "supply" of pain medication has been switched from hydrocodone to tramadol, which is obviously a step down but not much I can do about that without begging and stealing lol. I've had tramadol once before, and to be honest with you, I felt nothing. Well, maybe a little spaced out. To be honest I'm not sure if I didn't think I felt anything simply because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel/expect? (this is what happened when I first took MDMA. it just felt odd to me versus feeling really good because I wasnt sure what the hell I was feeling) I think I took 100 at first and then dosed another 100 30 minutes later, so it was a relatively low beginning dose.

I've heard that you can get buzzed off tramadol, but its kind of an acquired taste that takes a bit to develop. I've also heard that you either love it or hate it: some have even claimed its their DOC, while others claimed they felt nothing at all and actually had unpleasant affects. Since I didn't feel much the first time I tried it, is it safe to a assume that I'm one of those people that feels nothing from it? Or should I keep trying and/or just increase the dosage?

For the record, I had been taking norco for a while, about two years. But my highest dose for a really good buzz only went up to 20mg, so I have an either naturally low or slow to build tolerance, if that helps. I only weigh about 104 lbs. Low doses of codeine and xanax get me going pretty good. So I'd hoped this would be the same where I wouldn't have to take like 20 pills to feel something (especially with that seizure threshold).

Gosh I wish I loved tramadol as much as some people seem to. I feel like I should because what I really loved from hydrocodone was the energy I would get, and I hear tramadol can have that same effect. But maybe it only works for some people. -.- I'm going to try my hardest to like it, anyway. What choice do I have? I'm one of those addicts that can't go a day without popping some kind of pills or another, and this is all I can get for now. And what's worse is theres nothing even medically wrong with me, I actually think being addicted to these medications has caused me more physical and psychological problems then I had before I discovered them!

Anyone care to share their thoughts on tramadol?
 
At your tolerance you should be able to feel it. I always liked Tramadol when I had a low tolerance. It gives a more speedy feeling than Hydro. It also lacks the histamine release hydro has. Overall it's a step down but it's still better than nothing. If you hate it go back and see if he will write for a codeine drug.

Got it. I'll give the tramadol like a weeks chance. Codeine is good but I always hated the fact that I had to take a bunch of benadryl with it due to the huge histamine release. So not having to deal with that is a plus. Thanks.
 
Hydrocodone is stronger than Tramadol........but not like miles stronger.

Comparing Heroin, Methadone, or other Powerful opiates like that to Tramadol, you wont feel SHIT.

But, you should feel good if your tolerance is only off of Hydrocodone.

Esp. taking low doses like you said like 20mg of Hydrocodone will get you buzzed....
Tramadol should give you a nice stimulation type opiate high...

20mg Hydrocodone = 150-200mg Tramadol

Try taking less 1st, like 100mg, if it doesn't satisfy you, you can always take more.
Always put this to mind...

'You can always take more, BUT not less'.
 
So I took 200mg since I've taken it before and I know it has no major negative effects on me. Took an hour to kick in, but it actually more feels like I'm slightly rolling versus a norco/opiate high. This is... odd. Slight nausea too. But can't deny I'm feeling something good I guess.
 
Nausea's calmed down but now it just feels like I'm on speed. No appetite at all (I usually have a big one on narcotics). What a strange drug this is.
 
i take tramadol and to get the best pain relief opiod effects it must be taken in staggered doses i usllay take 25mg every 30 min till iam were i want to be theirs a reason behind this and why it works it has something to do with metabolism...works hell of alot better than taking a large dose or taking every 4-6 hours..sometimes i nod hard off the tramadal and feel no pain at all

hmm well theyre 50mg pills but ill try that next time. at what mg do you usually stop at to get the max opiod effect?
 
I personally enjoy Tramadol (besides not being able to piss), at doses near 800-1200mg with some Benzos but for me the high is its own. Nothing like most opiates, though obviously chemically related.

Yeah I mean it was definitely something but I'm not sure I'd call it an opiate high haha. Maybe I'll try a bit of benzo with it another time too.
 
do these make anyone irritable towards the end of it? because wow now im just super irrationally annoyed by anyone talking to me lol
 
Since this is an HR board, I want to point out that even though there are people that get away with taking ridiculous amounts of it, it isn't recommended to take more than 400mg of Tramadol at a time due to its seizure threshold lowering properties.
 
Thanks for the advice, all. I took the 200mg at like 5:30 pm and its now 2:30 am and I finally feel its worn off lol. That was interesting (and long). I believe the effects were amplified because I took them on an empty stomach, and it was my first time eating Tramadol in nearly a year. I think I will try taking 50mg every 30 minutes like someone suggested instead of eating it all in one go tomorrow and see how that is. Hopefully that will help to avoid the overpowering wave of nausea. I admit, I had hoped for more energy. For a lot of it, I just felt very spaced out for lack of better terms.

But maybe its just a matter of adjusting. I think I might be able to get hydrocodone again soon, so hopefully I wont have to do this for long. But I don't want to bank on it just in case I can't, which is always possible (actually more possible than not).

Just gotta work with what I got I guess. Addiction blows.
 
not 50mg every 30 min 25mg every 30 min break ur 50s in half and do this until desired effect. or u reach the 400mg mark trust me taking like this works excellent oh i wash mine down with hot coffee for the first few hours if u take the recommenced 400mg it will take 8 hours to reach that amount at 25mg every 30min basically 1 tablet per hour sometimes for first dose i will take 100mg than followed by the 30min dose increments might i add taking like this cuts down on the serotonin properties and boosts opiod property's also less likely of seizures taking like this
 
Next morning and I feel like I have a hangover. Slight nausea and headache. Definitely taking a smaller dose today, holy shit.

Good plan. Do you take them on an empty or full stomach or does it not matter?
 
i take on empty stomach with coffee i think coffee help metabolizes availability also raises the more tram u have in you kinda of a strange drug but works great once one learns his/her chemistery
