All kidding aside, I think that every single person I've ever known who used Trams has said this very thing, and that the come down and / or withdrawals are far worse than anything they ever experienced with opiates such as h*dro, ox-seas, etc. It never ceases to amaze me how so many doctors will hand out Trams like Halloween candy, yet want to tattoo a "Seeker" label on your forehead for asking for other PK's, even in very modest doses on the low end of the therapeutic range. Personally, I tried them for a few days at the prescribed dose 10 years or so ago, and found them less effective in managing adjacent level pain around my fusion site than Advil, so I tossed them and never looked back. Fortunately, I never tried ratcheting up the dose in a quest for enhanced relief. From all I've read, it seems I would have regretted doing so.I've been loving the 200s from DDS. They are nice. Better then Target's brand via script. I have also got a 100 extended release that works well too (via script), for pain it last about for about 8 hours. But it doesn't do the "thing" that tram does. The 200s do do that "thing" but they only last about 3 hours and then you crash into a cranky, moody, whiney mess. They're okay for pain.
Lately, at work, I've been smiling and cheerful every morning, but around noon I get grumpy. This stuff messes my brain up.
you said doo doo. (Yes, I'm 5 at heart). Kidding aside, I tried trams a couple of times and felt absolutely nothing. I guess it really is true that different meds react differently for different people (barring allergic reactions I mean). But sure sounds like this stuff is a tough nut to get off of. Hope everything works out OK. S-I've been loving the 200s from DDS. They are nice. Better then Target's brand via script.

I am awfully glad that did not up your dose when trying Trams. It is very difficult being addicted to them. They are the only thing that makes me not want to stay in my room and hide. They are a miracle for meAll kidding aside, I think that every single person I've ever known who used Trams has said this very thing, and that the come down and / or withdrawals are far worse than anything they ever experienced with opiates such as h*dro, ox-seas, etc. It never ceases to amaze me how so many doctors will hand out Trams like Halloween candy, yet want to tattoo a "Seeker" label on your forehead for asking for other PK's, even in very modest doses on the low end of the therapeutic range.

Hey BTOH! Nice to "see" you! Hope you are well!I've been loving the 200s from DDS. They are nice. Better then Target's brand via script.

Also, can you pm me and let me know what "DDS" is?Hey BTOH! Nice to "see" you! Hope you are well!
I have not come up with a nickname for that "thing" either. It is not exactly a high, is it?
DrugsDropShip (Indian IOP)Also, can you pm me and let me know what "DDS" is?
Ox,I know when I first started taking it it was the APAP version. I was just slightly better than motrin, and even then, it may have just been a placebo affect.
 
I could come and go as I pleased then. Taking days of whenever. No w/d at all.


It wasn't until I decided I wanted my life back, despite the pain, when I began the 100mg every 6 hour regiment. After a few months I took a day off and felt awful emotionally. I thought nothing of it and went on with the dose. After 6 months of this, when I tried to quite I became very suicidal. This was all in the summer before we had all the amped up tram discussion on here and I heard other people felt the same way. Or at least it was before I took the time to read the threads more carefully.
 

No docs never warned me about these emotional effects, so I didn't even think it was from the tram b/c w/d had never felt like that before. I thought I was insane.
 
Now I describe the feeling as something you only miss when it's not there. This is when you notice it. It takes a while to get addicted, IMHO, longer than other drugs, again IMO, but my biggest beef was that I was never warned about the psychiatric side-effects.
The latest doc who wrote me up for trams just recently, and again, didn't mention them either.
 
I've written all this before, but just wanted to reiterate incase anyone is feeling really crazy or suicidal who happens to use tram. Just so you know, you're not crazy. Its' the tram.
 
For now my problem is contained, but I am back on the stuff.

Thanks Cat for your reply...it is helpful info. to have info. from someone other than my prescriber!Hi guys!
Dont have a whole of time right now, BUT first! Thanks for sharing your experience. You have helped me so much i cannot even tell you!
Beranda, when my tolerance is up, I have no nausea. However, i detox every couple of months because of tolerance and for the first couple of weeks after i begin again, i throw up A LOT! I will be more detailed a little later. Eating first does not help me.
Love you guys,
Cat
What would be your feelings on a mixture of gabapentin and meloxicam? I've have very good results with this cocktail AND best of all, VERY easy to get RX'd.Hey,
Have you guys considered replacing the Tram;s with something like a cocktail of antinflamatory meds?
I mean ... dexketoprofenum or something like etoricoxib from MSD ... I saw mentioned Celebrex Pfizer too.
The MSD Etoricoxib is working great on my lower back and knee pain.
Just a suggestion as I know Tram's can have some side effects for some individuals.

Well... it depends a lot where the pain is coming from. The gabapentin is used to relieve pain in neuropathies. So if we are talking about muscular pains it might not be the right one.What would be your feelings on a mixture of gabapentin and meloxicam? I've have very good results with this cocktail AND best of all, VERY easy to get RX'd.
Also if a person needs sleep really badly, throw a couple somas on there and away you go![]()
