Tramadol experiences

[Alfa]

Please post your tramadol experiences here.

[Fantasian]

The following is an exert from SWIFantasian's Journal.

Tramadol (AKA Ultram)
Clinical dosages - 25, 50, 100 mg
Synthetic opiate
For moderate to Severe pain
Onset - 1 hour
peak - 6 hours
Comedown - 3 hours
Total duration - 10 hours

There has been slight arguements whether Tramadol is a true opiate however due to it acting on the opioid receptors my own interpretation is that it is.

It's effects are the same as all opiates, dizziness, lightheadness, nausea, respiritory depression and of course Euphoria.

In comparison to other opiates it's effects are longer lasting than ones such as codeine and morphine but not as long as methodone. There are suitable dosages comparisons if once again you UTFSE.

a brief word on tramadol from SWIM: "an enjoyable but slightly too stimulating high for opiates,long lasting and not very intense, in SWIM's oppinion not one of his favourites but has it's rightful place"

Briefly on dosages(accounts in the first person from SWIM):
Doses are oral unless specified otherwise

50mg - Surprised that at the lowest dosage it was prescribed to me having such an effect, i feel a tingling throughout my body and a general relaxed feeling.(it should be noted that at this point SWIM has little or no tolerance to opiates)

100mg - The same as above however more pronounced the dizziness played a large factor here and made moving around a little more difficult. Only able to really watch television, goto the toilet and move small distances.

150mg - Euphoria and dizziness increased further however sedation usually associated with opiates not present. Much more difficult to move around, even getting to the toilet is difficult and leaving the bed is becoming harder. Urinary retention also present however still able to urinate. Noted that there was a physical withdrawal or hangover effect for 20 hours post use after the posative effects wore off.

200mg - Euphoria significant, bed ridden, require aid to reach the toilet however not much point as urinary retention and constapation is significant. Same effects as above but more intense.

250mg - no new effects than above, hangover slightly less pleasant causing several times of vomiting..

300mg - Still no new effects, conclusion that a ceiling effect is reached at 200mg no further experimentation above this dose will occur.

100mg Snorted - burning sensation throughout the nose, very small high less than that of a 50mg oral dosage. Not reccommended

	For both this and your codeine post.
	nice report
	I like swif compares different experiences at different doses...would be nice if she clarified whether tolerance was avo...

SWIM currently has a scrip for 30 100mg tabs of Ultram ER (tramadol ER).
SWIM also has a script for Lortabs 10 mg.. Today is saturday so SWIM is experimenting..
SWIM took 100 mgs of Ultram (tramadol ER) in the am along with 2 mgs of Xanax XR, 20mgs of Lexapro, and 5 mgs of Flexerill and a few glasses of wine.

Being that SWIM added all of these other chemicals into play, it is hard to tell what role the Ultram played in the grand scheme of things...
The other night. SWIM took 100 mgs of Ultram and fell asleep..

Hopefully, those of you who had positive experiences with Ultram are right, otherwise SWIM is stuck with an entire bottle of UTRAM ER...

NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER mix Tramadol and anti-depressants, such as Lexapro.

Good advice, though for the person's sake you may want to explain you reasoning, that way people can understand the why ...

Really? No Lexapro and Tramadol together? SWIM wonder's why SWIM's Dr. prescribed the two.. Why can't the two be mixed? What can happen if one were to take tramadol and Lexapro?

Thanks for the head's up, SWIM appreciates it

SWIM takes Prozac daily and today did Tramadol up to 600mg. No problems here
btw, SWIM doestake benzodiazepines such as Lorazepam, Diazepam and Clonazepam for the buzz and to reduce seizures risks.

lol SWIM takes 9-12 50mg pills and has average opiate tolerance and it feels like taking 2 vicodins. Oh and snorting 100mg really doesn't hurt in SWIM's opinion so this post doesnt really make sense to SWIM. SWIY must have an EXTREMELY low tolerance to opiates.

[dunkine11]

The only negative reaction swim gets to tramadol is an unbelievable itching sensation towards the end of the effects. It may be a mild alergic reaction, but it's very uncomfortable. That being said, it's worth it!

[tangent1]

Swim has som experience with opiates, having taken a fair ammount of codiene and Heroin. It is worth noting that Swim often has breaks from opiates lasting a month or two. Swim was introduced to tramadol by a friend who dislocates limbs very easily. Swim had heard that they were related to opiates and so blagged a few from his friend. Swim took two (2x50mg)to start with and couldnt believe the effects. After an hour swim took another. Swim found the effects to be very close to those of heroin only a little more stimulating. This was not a problem for Swim and has found that he can, after building up a little tollerence, take 150mg (3 caps)at once followed by two more 50mg doses at hourly intervals. Swim has not yet taken more than 5x50mg caps in a sitting. Swim says that he likes the effect that the drug has on the noragrenergic and serotonergic systems, although is aware of the dangers of messing with the brain with SSRI's. Swim says that you should treat all substances with respect and they will respect you. Abuse and be abused.

I am most impressed that SWIY feels that 100mg or even 150mg of tramadol compare to that of heroin. Are the effects of tramadol really that intense for SWIY? When SWIY used 250mg did SWIY find a ceiling effect was reached at 200mg?

[tangent1]

Swim found that the effects of tramadol were closer to those of herion than of codiene...if that makes sense. Swim has heard other people also share this opinion and others do not...seems to be very individual. Swim has never taken more than 250mg but thinks that those effects were greater than those of 200mg. SWIY needed support to get to the toilet and was bed ridden at 200mg. This is interesting. Does SWIY have opiate tollerence or would he say that these effects are of a different kind altogether?

Refer to SWIFantasian's first post in here is explains most of his experiences with Tramadol quite well. It is difficult to say whether he had opiate tolerance. I'd say he did at later stages, at these later stages there isnt much in his journal about it except that linked with addiction. SWIFantasian remembers later in his drug use that 200mg tramadol didnt even have any effect.

[Forthesevenlakes]

Here's SWIM's latest tramadol experience...
lab rat ingested 250 mg of tramadol over the course of an hour, spacing out 100 mg and 150 mg doses. a certain sense of opiate warmness began kicking in around an hour and a half from ingestion of the first 100 mg, along with an odd (but barely perceptible) sense of derealization akin to dxm. somatic effects are much more pronounced than with conventional opiates, the lab rat's body feels heavier than normal, but when typing, the rat reported that his arms felt like they were suspended by balloons. not many changes in cognition, but the lab rat found it easier than normal to come up with things to write, and conversation and reading came easily as well. there was a sense of knowing exactly what to say when engaged in conversation. however, on the negative side the lab rat reported nausea and a feeling of fullness lasting the duration of the experience, which was made worse by cigarettes. about three hours after the first ingestion, the rat also felt tired, but not so much that he had to fall asleep. a mild euphoria was present but nowhere near that of any opiate, even codeine.

overall the experience was somewhat fun, but the lab rat is uneager to go for 250 mg again due to the nausea.

swim noticed the nausea too but all u have to do to beat it is eat before u take it or right after and then u will be fine but dont eat while on it that made swim really sick, but swim likes tramadol because it last so long atleast 6 hours for swim so he really enjoys it

[enquirewithin]

SWIM was given some tramadol pills by a friend who was in pain. In the quantity he took it (100 mg), tramadol gave a very mild opiod-type feeling-- calm and relaxed but no real euphoria. He wouldn't consider it 'recreational' as such.

SWIM's friend, who has a neck injury, complains that it's not effective in combating his neck pain and not at all comparable to the morphine he was given in hospital. SWIM gave him some kratom capsules, which he found more effective.

Tramadol is only classed as a pain killer for mild to moderate pain so I wouldn't expect too much.

try 250-300mg very euphoric

[WindKun]

No doubt, SWIM and SWIM's female buddy usually take 200MG - 250MG. It's extremely euphoric, enjoyable, relaxing, and long lasting. usually 8-10ish hours of effects compared to other opiates that last only 4ish hours.

[BUZZFACTOR]

ultram is complete junk its therapeutic benefits are exagerrated and its euphoric benefits nonexistent. If you think you're getting high on this you're a candidate for placebo heaven

swim would disagree. he knows many lab rats (none of whom are opioid-tolerant) who enjoy tramadol more than many drugs, and they all seem to be pretty euphoric after administration. swim in bygone days used a fair amount of tramadol, and can safely say that it is effective at both killing pain or obtaining a small buzz.

swim has herd lots about tramadol being a placebo and it dosent work so swim decided to give his friend the pill and told him that he wanted him to guess what it felt like.swim's friend has past exp. with opiates but had no current tolerance and his friend was used to swim giving him stimulants,adderall ritalin,so it was truly a blind date.after half an hour swim's friend decided that he thought the 50mg tramadol was an expired oxy 5mg.his exact words were "it feels like vicodin but the pill was too small to be a vike so id say it was an oxy 5 but it feels like it was expired or suptin.so there you go not a placebo

TRUE!! Finally somebody who makes sense. All I can get my dr.to give me for my severe back pain is tramadol. It's JUNK. I have taken up to 300 mgs at a time and felt NOTHING.. No euphoria, no itchyness, and NO pain relief..
Does anybody know of a good online pharmacy??

Seems that the majority of posters are disagreeing with you. Do you really feel that SWIY is the definitive example of a human being, and that everyone else must feel the same effects SWIY does or they must be wrong, or that something is wrong with them?

Your post is a shining example of ignorance and a fantastic display of violating the rules of Drugs-Forum.

SWIY is right, a lot of people do disagree with SWIM in reference to SWIM's experience with tramadol. Isn't that what this site is for? For people to discuss the different effects of opiates? After all, everybody's body chemistry is different, therefore different drugs are going to have a different effect on each individual. We are here to discuss the similarities and differences of the substances of our choice.
Of course SWIM doesn't think that she is the definitive example of a human being; where in SWIM's post does it indicate that SWIM feels this way? And of COURSE SWIM doesn't think that somebody who disagrees with her is not a worthwhile person. As stated above, this site is for us to share our different experiences with opiates.
In SWIM's opinion, tramadol is junk, SWIM personally doesn't feel as it is a worthwhile drug, pharmaceudically or recreationally. Obviously plenty of people disagree with SWIM, judging from this thread the majority of people enjoy tramadol. Just because SWIM expresses her experience with tramadol in this post doesn't at all indicate that SWIM feels as if her opinion is the end all be all epitome of truth; SWIM is simply expressing her feelings regarding tramadol.
SWIY is right on one thing, it was VERY ignorant of SWIM to ask about an online pharmacy. That was stupid. SWIM was drunk when she posted this, not that being drunk is an excuse, but it is an explanation for asking about an online pharmacy. SWIM no longer drinks alcohol because alcohol makes SWIM do stupid things, on an offline.
SWIM does apologize to the administrators of this board for violating that rule, asking about online pharmacy's is a rule violation and it won't happen again.
All in all, SWIM feels as if the tone of SWIY's post is out of line and disrespectful. You don't agree with my opinion of tramadol and thats fine. However, disagreeing with SWIM does not warrant the mean spirited nature of your respone to SWIM's post. SWIY seems as if you are an angry person who jumped on SWIM for no reason. EVERYBODY is entitled to express their opinion, SWIM included.

I tend to agree. I have adhesion disease (abnormal aggressive scar tissue growth) in my abdomen due to a ruptured appendix, peritonitis, and multiple surgeries. This causes me to have chronic pain and diarrhea. Although I am the perfect candidate for opiate therapy it took 12 years of suffering and running the pharmacological gambit to finally get treated with opiates. Tramadol was the first of which they tried on me. At first they seemed to work, but after about a month they no longer effected me at all. Even when I first started taking them I experienced no euphoria and little relief. After about a month I could take 4-5 50mg tabs at once with NO effect what so ever. I got more out of a diphenoxylate OD than I did on Tramadol! I am aware that my multiple surgeries and my previous recreational days probably led to my high level of tolerance, but Tramadol is useless for moderate to severe pain. It should be recommended for mild pain at the most.

[Benzonater]

Yep! I said it before and I'll say it again. Tramadol is utterly and completely useless!!!!!! It is garbage and anyone who says it gets them so buzzed up and it's so great need a check up from tha neck up!
