Hi 

Not sure i have this in the correct place. How similar are these 2 tablets? If I'm really used to codeine but suddenly switch to tramadol will my body give out? Or are they quite similar in mechanism? 

 
Personally I don't compare the 2, ever. Codeine makes me sleepy, relaxed, slightly euphoric and nauseous (barely to bother). Tramadol makes my head feel, numb? Or cloudy, slightly euphoric and a bit anxious. But you probably won't feel any withdraws from codeine if you take Tramadol.

Hey there! 

They are similar, although whereas Codeine is a true opioid, Tramadol is a synthetic opioid... But they still effect the same receptors in the brain... However, Tramadol does inhibit the reputable of serotonin and norepinephrine, so it's kind of like adding an antidepressant to the mix?..  And that's the side of Tramadol that doesn't agree with everyone? It also has a much longer half life, due to it's SNRI properties...

Some people do find this helpful, as it definitely has certain mood lifting qualities, and slightly longer analgesic effects? However, I think the latter is due to the parallel SNRI properties that are also occurring... Resulting in an almost placebo like effect, of your slightly elevated mood, masking the propensity to feel your pain? 

However, if you have the choice and need to be on either long term, then I'd personally stick with Codeine... You will almost certainly develop a tolerance and dependence for either, that goes without saying... But ask almost anyone which one they'd rather withdraw from and they'd definitely choose Codeine?! Tramadol withdrawals are a real motherfucker!! It's like opiate & antidepressant withdrawal, both at the same time... Quite simply, it's fucking horrible!! Give me a good old Codeine withdrawal any day ; )

Interesting info @Phrenicz, I didn't know that about Tramadol. That may explain why I've never liked it! I tend to get terrible insomnia when I take it, regardless of time taken during the day. I could take it at noon, but as soon as I try to go to bed I have extremely vivid, almost waking dreams. Kind of like daydreaming, but half asleep, and unable to fall completely asleep. It's really not pleasant at all. I recently had a doc try to prescribe Trams and I told him about this, so he prescribed codeine instead. They didn't do much for the pain, maybe a little better than acetaminophen and ibuprofen alone, but not much. No weird side effects though.

  7. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  8. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  11. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  13. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.

  15. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  18. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
