Tramadol

[Jolene40]

Does anyone have any thoughts on tramadol overdose and how that might end it for you. The more unwell I become the more sensitive I am to drugs. So one small dose is like double that in my body now. I hope that means I might die more easily

Hi Jolene...

Tramadol is too weak and has a high emetic potential.

In very high dosages tramadol can also trigger cramps because of higher activity of serotonin and noradrenalin.

Don't OD tramadol, especially if you are on antidepressants.

I'm sorry you're suffering however just because you are becoming sensitive to Tramadol does not change the amounts necessary to ctb. When a person takes a medication like Tramadol for a while, they develop a tolerance which plays a key role in using it to ctb as it takes more because the body has adapted to the medication. That said, Tramadol causes seizures in doses around 400 MG. Opioid/opiate users can take that amount without any lethal effect, just seizures.

That said, according to the PPeh the lethal dose of morphine is 2 grams or 2,000 MG. Using an opiate conversion calculator, the dose of Tramadol is 20,000 MG to roughly equal 2 grams of morphine. That is 400 fifty MG Tramadol pills.

A report of lethal Tramadol states:
"A total of 144 patients including 111 men (77%) and 33 women (23%) with acute tramadol poisoning was included in this study. The mean ingested dose was 1971.2 mg (100-20000 mg). Seizure (47.91%) was the most frequent clinical symptom." Please note the study does not tell us what - if any - drugs or alcohol were used.

Another case study:
"CASE REPORTS/ A rare case of a fatal intoxication in an adult with tramadol alone is reported. In the peripheral blood, tramadol was measured in a concentration of 9.6 mg/L exceeded at least 30-times the normal therapeutic range of 0.1-0.3 mg/L." 30 times 50 MG is 1,500 MG or 30 pills.

Using the PPeh morphine lethal dose, the conversion calculator and the two studies tells us that the lethal dose of Tramadol varies widely. Regardless of your sensitivity, that is how the medication makes you feel, not a surefire way of knowing what it is doing inside your body.

I hope this is helpful.

Not worth it. Try a different method.

Thanks all for the info. I'm becoming quite desperate and want a quick option that I can see through. I just want to take something, go to sleep and it's bloody over.
