Effects - tramadol and hydrocodone

[hotrod83]

Does anyone know about mixing the two to increase the euphoria of hydro so that one can use less. Swim has tons of tramadol but only 10 7.5 of hydro and wanted to get the max from it. Swim knows that on its own tramadol is OK but figured that since it has some opiate props it might mix well with hydro. Any experiences and dosages are appreciated.

Tramadol will likely not increase the euphoria from hydrocodone, based on Swim's personal experience.

It WILL, however, increase the CNS sedation and similar effects.

Tramadol is not a very euphoric substance, especially if you are used to hydrocodone.

Swim suggests using Tagamet, aka cimetidine as a potentiator to increase the amount of hydrocodone remaining in your body. Perhaps 20-30% at most, based on other's estimates.

Work SLOWLY on the doses, building up. Taking a bunch all of once is asking to suffocate.

Play it safe. If taking, say, 40mg hydro, and you want to cut it down to say 30mg, add, say, 100mg tramadol. Only estimates here. Do research for more info regarding doses, but use personal experience as a guiding light.

From experience, SWiM would definitely list tramadol as a potentiator of hydrocodone. SWiM tells me its a great combo.

It's hard to say whether it specifically potentiates the 'euphoria', but I would say that's a pretty hard thing to disentangle from the 'other effects' of the drug.

As long as you're taking a reasonable dose of tramadol it certainly can't hurt.
