Tramadol Hydrochloride
a couple of years back i blagged that i was in an accident to get signed off work for a couple of weeks. I got prescribed 100 x 200mg capsules of tramadol hydrochloride, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramadol_hydrochloride) which i obviously didn't need.. so i decided to take them down the pub one night.

now we have this mate, jonny, who will pretty much experiment with anything. perfect.

the warning on the package clearly states to take no more than 4 in a 24hr period. a few months later i was actually in pain, and took 4 and was completely out of it for the whole night.

anyway, back to the pub... so we dared jonny to take 10 of these tramadols in different ways whilst he had been drinking. here's how he did them;

x2 swallowed with beer as normal
x2 cracked open & powder snorted off the table
x2 cracked open and poured into his beer
x2 cracked open and put into bag of crisps
x2 mixed with tobacco and smoked in a roll up

this was all done within 10 minutes, 15 minutes after taking them we had moved the discussion on, when suddenly jonny announces that he can't see much and can't really hear properly either. so we send him off home. now bear in mind this is sunday night. next we hear from him is wednesday. it turns out he had gone to bed for 2 whole days, woken up wednesday morning and ridden into work on his pushbike, thinking it was monday morning. Only to recieve a bollocking from his boss about not turning up to work for 2 days. you can imagine his confusion! the poor guy had been asleep from sunday night to wednesday morning!! we pissed ourselves when we found out why he hadn't been answering his phone or door for 2 days! but in hindsight i realise it was a pretty stupid thing to do.

Jeez
That tramadol stuff is pretty strong stuff, I was prescribed it once and actually tried the snorting method. I'm surprised you're mate didn't end up in a worse state after having that many. Was it some sort of mini coma?

Beyond stupid.
He's quite lucky that he woke up, at all.

I was given Tramadol
When I had a trapped nerve in my spine. It didn't affect the pain one bit. In the hospital, they gave me a combination of codeine, paracetamol, aspirin and Tramadol. Didn't work at all. I gave all mine away to the office prescription junkie.

Tramadol
Got prescribed them after getting a tooth pulled.

I downed two of them and, after about a minute or two, decided they weren't working so downed two more.

I was a bit woozy but decided to head off out anyway and meet my mates down the pub. Christ knows how I cycled the couple of miles along busy roads and survived as I was weaving all over the place.

Got to the pub, ordered a pint, took a couple of swallows and that's all she wrote.

I woke up in a mate's flat the next day with no memory of what had happened. Apparently, I'd fell off my barstool and had to be carried off unconscious.
