I think I ODed on Tramadol

[krinkov]

Well, I ordered some Tramadol to help me with W/D's and I think I took too much. I ended up passing out and bumping my head. I'm starting to feel better but have a big lump on my head.:mad: This sucks!!

[clinton]

did you have a seizuRe?

[krinkov]

did you have a seizuRe?
I don't think so, I just passed out and bumped my head. I woke up on the floor. Now my tongue is numb, but I feel a lot better.

[clinton]

be safe krinkov...how many did you take?

[krinkov]

be safe krinkov...how many did you take?

Around 20. But, my tolerance is really high. 600mg of oxy is my normal dose. I didn't think I was overdoing it, but I guess I was wrong. This was over a period of about 4 hours. I didn't take them all at once.

[clinton]

twenty?
did you read the warnings?

[krinkov]

twenty?
did you read the warnings?

Yes, I knew the risk. I just didn't listen. Now I know.

[nick]

did you read the warnings?

Read the warnings!! I think he started a thread warning other folks.

Krinkov,BE CAREFUL.

Like I said, now I know my limits. I really didn't like how I felt but am feeling better now. That was really dumb of me. The shit we do to cop a buzz. :confused:

Anything over 400mg a day is a waste. The liver can only metabolize up to 400, so the majority of the tram you took was never metabolized to M1, the metabolite with the "real" opiod activity. Unmetabolized tramadol has the serotonergic properties, which is what you are experiencing it sounds like.

Many people bite their tongue when having a seizure, so it sounds like you may have had one.

The best way I have found to take trams is to pop a couple evry 2-3 hours throughout the day. It keeps the side-effects down, and since M1 has a fairly long half-life, it accumulates by the end of the day.

Tolerance to other opiods really doesnt matter with tramadol. It is too dirty to completely alleviate severe w/d, and excessive dosages are dangerous.

Be safe!!

[handsome rob]

Twenty!?! Isn't that 1000mg? I thought I over did it at 400mg. Yeah, I think you over did it and then some. Please be careful with that stuff. I know it's weak as shit but the side effects are just too dangerous. Glad you're ok though. Didn't you start the thread about seratonin syndrome and Tramadol last week?

Good info Wafflehead.

I'm affraid you've missed the boat with getting a buzz with tramadol.It's pretty useful when you're sick though.

I don't like the stuff at all.

Yes, that was my thread. I should take my own advice shouldn't I?

Anyone have any idea how long this crap will last. I feel tired but am afraid to go to sleep as I might seize again. I just want it out of my system.

unfortunately, those little bastards stay active quite a while. around 6 hours i think is standard...but at 1000mg, might be a while longer.

now, keep in mind *I am not a doctor* but i don't think you'll have a problem if you go to sleep. If you are going to have another seizure, it's gonna happen one way or the other, but I would think your safe if you already got it out of the way.

Sorry to hear you made a mistake, I've done it a couple times with Trams just trying to hard to feel anything. Fucking sucks, those things should be outlawed...I get this chills just thinking about them

Plus, I had the worst damn constipation with those.

Good luck Krinkov

[HistoryofMadness]

jesus man 20? and you posted the warning thread? fuck man i feel like i should apologize because i laughed. it wouldn't be funny if you weren't ok.

you are ok, right?

[krinkov]

Yep. I;m doing fine now. Still feel some residual effects, but mostly good.

[HistoryofMadness]

good. so its ok to laugh.

anyway man that's how we learn. sucks doesn't it?

[krinkov]

Yes it does. :(

[Poppylvr]

Yes it does. :(
Krinkov, I was looking up tramadol metabolism. Looks like it should be most metabolised by 6 h, however one of it's metabolites does last over nine hours. it is metabolized by the liver, so drinking lots of water won't necessary help speed up metabolism. It is excreted by the kidneys, so water is good, you just don't have to drink lots & lots.
Biggest problem other than your likely seizure is respiratory depression. If it's been over 6 hours you're probably good to go to bed & not have to worry about not waking up.
REMEMBER I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND THIS IS NOT DIRECT MEDICAL ADVICE. IT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS/OPINION.
Good luck, dude. Bet it won't happen again, will it?

[Consumed.]

Like nick said they are GREAT for withdrawals so save some if that's what you need them for too. I had no faith in them working for withdrawals but they worked better the bupe for me. I know ill get a lot of shit for that....

[Raz]

My 2 cents...I fuckin hate Tramadol coz they never done shit for me....

[Indy]

Tramadols aren't nearly as dangerous as people think. Though it's good the danger is OVERstated and not UNDERstated.

It was probably a myotonic jerk, not a seizure. Unless you have a history of epilepsy, statistically, there's a very slight chance of seizing even at enormous doses. I made a topic about it a while back. But if you're alone, even 5% chance of seizure is too much.

To be honest i'd be more worried about serotonin syndrome. But since he doesn't seem to have any of those symptoms, i won't bother going into that (i think most people know anyways)

be careful man, if you o/d or something you'll have to listen to US yelling at you! Oh, and you could, you know, die and stuff,

It's Monday now and still doing OK. It did suck though. Blacking out and waking up with a sore tongue and a lump on your head isn't much fun though.

BTW, who you calling a jerk??? Just because I'm a myotonic doesn't make me a bad guy. :p:D

[clinton]

good to see youre feeling better

[krinkov]

good to see youre feeling better


AKA "not dead" or "not brain damaged"

[lolleedee]

I agree...This stuff is AWESOME for withdrawl symptoms. I can't take tramadol anymore because I have seizures every time I take it, but I also have epilepsy, so obviously I am more prone to seizures than your average person

[Opilover]

Around 20. But, my tolerance is really high. 600mg of oxy is my normal dose. I didn't think I was overdoing it, but I guess I was wrong. This was over a period of about 4 hours. I didn't take them all at once.


OMG 20?? damn your lucky to be alive and glad that you are still here with us,,but trams are real dangerous at that amount,,I took 10 at once b4 and it sent me into a seizure..Just be very careful we don't wanna lose ya...Take Care

[SHELLEY]

if i have a seizure when i'm alone
the only way i'd ever know is if i wake up on the floor with my tongue bit
you tend not to remember if you have seizures
if your gonna have another one, it doesn't matter if your asleep or not
cause it will come either way
actually, it's better to have seizures in your sleep
cause your already lying down (usually) on something soft
and you have less chance of hurting yourself than if, say,
you're in the kitchen cooking, or jogging, or outside burning a cig

[SHELLEY]

\I had no faith in them working for withdrawals but they worked better the bupe for me. I know ill get a lot of shit for that....

if i'm in severe withdrawal, coming off a 3g/daily heroin habit
i'd rather have NOTHING than bupe
that shit is god-awful

...and i've done it both ways, so don't hate

WHAAAAT? Tramadol has a fucking ceiling effect too? Get outta here!! 400mg isn't enough for me.
:mad:

[Groggy]

yeah fuck tramadol. I a big ol handful cause I was outta my meds. then I had a seizure that my mom thought I was joking at first. I fished out onto a stack of dvds from the wheelchair. came to with sacrum and coccyx screaming in pain withme screaming along with it. 6 hours bunch of morphine, then dilaudid thank god.

fuck tramadol even though it was my own damn fault I couldn't even take a shit for a week not due to being backed up. ultram sucks. thanks for listening

[oxymoronluvr]

sounds like you seized. and bit your tounge. like said above many people bite ttheir tounges during convalusions. they make a bite stick for that purpose. fuck ultram it causes too many problems.

[SurfRat]

Maybe this is one of those pills where they need to make them in smaller doses, so that people will be less inclined to take such large doses.


I think Tramadol is good and beneficial for many, but obviously you need to take it correctly.

In smaller doses.


Good thing OP is ok.:)
