    Reset 7–14 days for partial reset; full reset may take weeks — tolerance loss greatly increases overdose risk

    First of all I have been experimenting with many substances this summer and when one of my friends told me about painkillers it sounded interesting to I wanted to try it. I had some hydrocodone and instantly fell in love with the immense Chill feeling that painkillers gave me.

    The first time I tried tramadol I took 4 and it was an exact copy of a hydrocodone high, maybe even better. Snorting 1 or 2 ultrams can also be fun but not that much fun because it seems to lower my threshold of pain specifically in my nose, so when I snort a big line, I’ll feel it and it'll sting and I’ll get high, bu...

    This was my first time experiencing with opiates, or, actually, any downer drugs. I have been around narcotics for a few years, but my experience was limited to the amphetamine family, cocaine and 25i-nBOME.

    Long Term User of Tramadol Male, 6’2, 240 lbs Drug: Generic Tramadol 50mg & 100mg (Both without acetaminophen) My use of tramadol began about two years ago. My first script was only 30 pills. But this was by far the best opiate I ever had. In the past, I have had just about every opiate short of heroine and morphine.

    It is with deep regret that I detail my account with tramadol. It has been a three year journey for me with Ultrams. It started out as a means to kill pain after a surgical GYN procedure, and escalated into full fledged addiction that is no longer fun by any stretch of the vivid imagination.

    Tramadol I have been using tramadol for about 2 years now. But I am not addicted and surprisingly the tolerance level has never changed. Ive always done 250mg, as 1 strip of 50mg tablets [10 tablets] is only a dollar here, and relatively easy to obtain.

    First of all, this report is based on a huge dose of tramadol (5 times the maximum therapeutic dose recommended). Please don't try it if you don't have a very high tolerance to this drug or have a history of seizures.Takin' an anti-convulsant (benzodiazepines) prior these doses of tramadol is extremely reccommend.
