Tramadol brings such brutal withdrawal that I purposely became physically dependent on heroin (NOT fentanyl) because dope sickness is almost a 4 day orgasm compared to the sheer hell of tramadol/Suboxone/methadone withdrawals. It was well worth it, and I'm more than 7 years clean now (3/22/16).
Ive done the sub and methadone detox and it took a month to get over the horrible hot and cold flashes! I had no idea people could even get addicted to tramadol. It did nothing to me when I took it. Damn tolerance.
I find that hard to believe…I’ve had all types of pain killers for months at a time and withdrawal is nothing compared to Heroin which I did for 12 years straight.. even opium is is worse than Tramadol.
@@ape72patch1 I didn't abuse heroin like that; I wasn't a nodder. Not everyone needs to take a wonderful thing and completely wreck it with intemperance. Tramadol allowed me to scale back my Percocet usage, quitting comfortably. When I wanted to stop cold turkey, it was HELL! Dope sickness is a disease of heavy lethargy, diarrhea, and mild to moderate pain. No screaming meemees (like tramadol/Suboxone/methadone gift me) because when one used for a huge stamina boost, that means one needed less and the dosage didn't have to change for the entire duration.
Tramadol isn't the problem. Its the society. Working for 12 hours on a bike for every day? Of course you have to take some substances to endure that...
I couldn't do that. Recreational bike rides with my child make my body hurt and it's well under 12 hours. I know it's not the same as a motorcycle but still...
Damn right, if it isn’t tramadol they’ll switch to codene cough syrup. I would too, like the first commenter said: twelve hours on a bike EVERY day? Nope.
I'm no stranger to opiates and opioids so im at a loss as to how Tramadol acts as a stimulant? My experience with pharmaceutical Tramadol in the UK is that it didn't fight fatigue but simply made things more interesting which helped with lack of motivation and low mood.
It worked for me as an energy bomb. It gave me "A FALSE freedom" from anxiety and more energy. Some people feel sleepy and can not function on it. In my case it was the opposite
@@exstazius That's interesting to know. I like how you included 'false' in your comment because it's important for those that don't know to understand pros and cons.
@@eardwulf785 exactly. In the beginning tramadol can "present itself" as a wonder pill against anxiety and exhaustion. In reality it is a medication that gets you addicted, you need more and more to get just the feeling of being able to function and if you try to stop suddenly by yourself, like I tried several times, it brings you extreme withdrawal symtoms. I remember that day that I stoped to take it because I was fed up with it. I could not stand up or lie down, I became dizzy, it felt pressure all over my body, feeling of warmth and coldness in my body. Extreme anxiety, pain in the muscles and the worst part was that I could not urinate. You have the feeling that you need to go to the baathroom but it is like the whole system is shutting down and I could not urinate. I got also epilepsie attacks from tramadol. These symptoms started 2 days after my last tramadol intake. I called the ambulance to get me to the hospital. The results were that the body was severely being damaged by the tramadol. Muscle destruction was clearly present. The worst part is that you can not stop with it at that moment because this would cause a shock to the body and death. I went to an addiction center and they needed 3 months to slowly getting me off that shit. I was 1 year inside. I am 8 years clean now. Everyone reading this - please dont use this medication as some kind of relief for anxiety, depression or an energy booster. It wil bring you just chaos and health problems. A lot of people die abusing tramadol. If you have problems with anxiety, depression or anything else just remember that you are not alone, seek help for it by talking to a professional. It is a long way but you wil by your own strenght learn to deal with this issues and not by giving total power to a pain medication that wil only bring you problems in the long run.
I almost got addicted to Tramadol when I visited a friend and she gave me one as a pain killer. It was amazing and I lost a lot of weight in the two weeks I had access to it. I was surprised it wasn’t more popular on the streets back then 10 or so years ago so this isn’t a surprise to me
It doesn't work for some people if they don't have a certain enzyme. I used to get it prescribed and it's a nasty drug. Made me feel like I was about to have a seizure. The smell of the pills makes me gag now.

Shocking report. How can/could these people cope a pill of 500mg and more?!? One with just 50 mg can cause a heart acceleration and no sign of all the "benefits" mentioned in the report, apart from pain relief.
I had an addiction to tramadol. It was a living hell. I tried to stop by myself and my body just went in shock. I got epilepsie attacks, muscle damage and terrible anxiety. In the beginning i got it for muscle pain but it helped me to work more and have more energy. Before i know it I was addicted. I took more and more (max was 600-800 mg x day - a doses that can cause death). I decided to go to an addiction center and i was 1 year in the hospital. They told me that getting off tramdol is harder and the symptoms are much stronger than heroine withdrawal. It took 3 months just to get me slowly off the tramadol. They told me that if they would just not give me tramadol (total and inmeadiate stop) i would die. Each week they lowered the dose with 50 mg to get from my daily 600-800mg to 0. I have been clean for 8 years now. People that struggle with anxiety and depression have to be really carefull with tramadol. It seems like a solution for this issues in the beginning. You feel a warm "zen" happy felling and more energy. After a while you have to take more and more to feel the same. Slowly it destroying your organizam. If you see that you use it for something other than what it is presribed for stop inmeadiately

Because tramadol is also a snri along with opioid….cocaine acts as an SNDRI….opioid release has a downstream effect on dopamine so in effect it has similar effects as cocaine
I am surprised about this. I had surgery back in the late 90s. I was given tramadol for the 3 days I was in the hospital. I was still in pain, but I could handle it. I was given it again about 10 years later. I had to go to a conference for 3 days. Long flights and lots of time on my feet going from seminar to seminar. At the time I needed surgery on my legs. That tramadol put me to sleep! My legs hurt so bad. It did nothing for the pain. They are using it to fight fatigue? It did the opposite for me. Useless. Never had it again.
@@jeanettelebarron3306 I take it for spinal disc injuries and it takes the edge off the pain but not much more. But the alternatives for me are problematic also, I was badly addicted to buprenorphine and oxycodone last year and had less pain but I was a mess.
I have Crohns disease I did 8 years on tramadol, codeine, gabapentin, naproxen. Amitriptyline. I've smoked dope for 24 years and it's the only thing I still use today. 12 years with a chronic illness and it's weed that gave me remission 🙌
I have a friend with spinal injuries from a car accident. His only options are surgery which could very possibly paralyse him if it goes wrong, or to take tramadol indefinitely. He prefers to smoke weed due to the side effect he gets of being stoned when he took the tramadol.
I’ve been taking Tramadol after chronic osteoarthritis and knee replacement ..now 10 years. The benefits now are not great and the side effects are being noticed more and more..depression,euphoria,constipation,dry mouth,nightmares twitching and biting my tongue …not great Im coming off them very slowly over the next 3 months..be careful. They are only meant really for short term chronic pain and as I’m 71mI don’t want any cognitive impairment as I get older..
Im SO SAD and SORRY ! To Hear of This Mans Dependance,One Day, SOON, He WONT Have his Dose of Tramadol..and He Will be TOO SICK To Function ! Im a Recovering Addict,and Ive been through EXACTLY What Hes Doing..It s a DEAD END 👎!
The normal prescribed safe dosage is 50mg every 6 hours AS NEEDED FOR MILD PAIN. Legal tablets don't exceed the safe dosage. It is a synthetic opiate and is effective when used as directed. I was on it for 10 years before having a nerve stimulator implanted in my back.
Try using Google before you speak. Adults-At first, 100 milligrams (mg) once a day. Your doctor may increase your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 300 mg per day.
I’m the same. I have a prescription but have had a nerve stimulator implanted now. I sometimes take Tramadol for muscle pain and stiffness but am careful to stay within 1-2 times weekly if needed. I saw Tramadol abused in the US. It lifts my mood so I know it could become habitual if continued.
One question, as you claim you have nursing experience. Did you know from the first dose it also has been prescribed for depression? By this, I mean if you were a presciber, would you give it to someone who presents themselves as having possible depression?
It's not the opiates part of Tramadol that is giving them energy. Opiates are downers and tend to calm and make tired. What else is in it that causes this effect? As a person with a rare and very painful genetic condition, I take morphine because all opiates are turned into morphine by the liver and it doesn't have all those other drugs combined with it. As a pain killer tramadol is mild, there's something else in it to give the energy and the opiates make that addictive.
Tramadol is one of the weakest form of opiates. There is a reason only vets use it on dogs and cats. The only thing its good for is a good night sleep if ur not in pain
Brother was a lifelong opiates user from ,heroin to methadone and everything in between . Got HIV in 1984 and lived until last December when he died from complications while in palliative care from his HiV and throat cancer wich he got shortly b4 he died. Tramadol was given him and it really knocked him out ,even more than when using smack it seemed 😂. He was pretty happy and said he felt ok and pain was bearable . But tramadol is Not just a weak opiate . It depends on dosage . RIP bro .

I worked as a nurse and I developed back problems. I have been on tramadol for ten years and I hate it because it makes me drowsy and fatigue but I don't have any other options. Tramadol doesn't make you energetic but sleepy. What are they taking disguised as tramadol. And the withdrawals are horrendous. I once ran out of it for 3 days and I felt like I was dying. Do they know what they are getting themselves into. And why is that they are working 12hrs a day earning a little but spent it on drugs

Tramadol is one of the weakest form of opiates. There is a reason only vets use it on dogs and cats. The only thing its good for is a good night sleep if ur not in pain
Agree, my 5 pound Pomeranian had her both knees operated on at once and she was prescribed Tramadol.
stronger than codeine though right? ppl get hooked on that tbf
It is stronger than codeine #3 and doesn't make you nauseous.
Brother was a lifelong opiates user from ,heroin to methadone and everything in between . Got HIV in 1984 and lived until last December when he died from complications while in palliative care from his HiV and throat cancer wich he got shortly b4 he died. Tramadol was given him and it really knocked him out ,even more than when using smack it seemed 😂. He was pretty happy and said he felt ok and pain was bearable . But tramadol is Not just a weak opiate . It depends on dosage . RIP bro .
@@dimitriwolfs9370 tramodal is NOT used anymore because it a very weak opiate and has severe side effects when taken in large doses, seizures death ect. It was used in the 80's and 90's but is now only given to small animals. And in parts of Africa.

People living in poverty are vulnerable to many aspects.
France made this country poor.
is this a joke, tramadol is by far the weakest opiate in pain medication. You should better report about the strong opiates such as fentanyl, oxy etc
Tapaday 200 stronger than oxys ifykyk
It's good for them.
I worked as a nurse and I developed back problems. I have been on tramadol for ten years and I hate it because it makes me drowsy and fatigue but I don't have any other options. Tramadol doesn't make you energetic but sleepy. What are they taking disguised as tramadol. And the withdrawals are horrendous. I once ran out of it for 3 days and I felt like I was dying. Do they know what they are getting themselves into. And why is that they are working 12hrs a day earning a little but spent it on drugs
It dependens on the person. I was addicted to it and it gave me energy
@@exstaziusyep
As a nurse you should know how it effects ppl differently depending on their body chemistry.
@@Lonesome__Dove tramadol makes you drowsy no matter what that's how it works unless if you have been on it for a long time
@@juliaherbet2063 usually correct. In my case it gave me extreme energy
If you can buy leif 50 mg is basically legal... what's the point of 120 and 150 mg black market tablets? Unless users are really really bad at math...
Die Deutsche Übersetzerin hat oft Afrika als Zusammenfassung der betroffenen Gebieten genannt. Das fand ich echt falschausgedruckt zu sein. In Deutschland Berlin z.B. gibt es unter den Jungen und anderen überall Abhängigkeit von Droggen verschiedener Arten. Aber sowas werden wir nie sehen als Englische Reportage. Bitte dementsprechend um Reportage über Droggenkonsum in Berlin auch zu drehen...Vielen Dank.
Do the doctors get commission from drug companies for prescribing drugs? They do in other countries! Obviously the system stinks!
Legalize it and let the results be what they may.
My dog took tramadol after getting spayed
@HULLGRAFFITI Your funny!😁
Calling a spayed a spayed, respect!🤭🤭🤭
@@HULLGRAFFITI jajaja
Tramadol trapped you? Bruh, you need to park your bike and go on a retreat immediately. Go now. Because that's not normal. Tramadol? Is it the same medicine as ultram in the US?
Tramadol isn't an opium derivative....
You're right, the reporter is mixing up opiates and opioids.
😢😢..
Übersetzung ist schlecht 👎🏾
Tramadol is not an Opioid, its not even the same class drug as Opioids. Had both, but completely different highs.
No your wrong tramadol is classed as a opioid I used to think the same and the high is very similar I've done it all 35 years of opioids

@@PM-vv3uc hab ich. Und es ist eine Doku wie 1990. Nichts gelernt. Überraschung: inzwischen gab es so manche Erkenntnis zum Thema.
Diese Doku hier könnte auch von Kabel1 und RTL sein
@@prototoworld Welche Erkenntnis meinst du?
@@prototoworld Blödsinn. RTL ist gar nicht bereit, solch hochwertige Doku zu bringen, weil es die Zuschauerschaft überfordern würde.
Genauso ist es Blödsinn von Unreflektiertheit zu schwafeln, wenn doch die Akteure in der Doku selbst zu Wort kommen.
Tramadol gets in yo brain as well. Was hard to zap out of it.
Da bleibe ich lieber bei Rheinhessen-Wein!

Hahaha. Stimme Dir völlig zu.

I don't know how a opiate can fight fatigue or be a poor man's cocaine 1 is a upper 1 a downer and tramadol I'd say is a downer I know people who would take it when there was no heroin available and they were considered weak would barely stop withdrawal

Oppressor language will be banned in African land soon. No to French, Dutch, English, Portugal, etc.
It makes no difference to us
@@catloverfurever00 ok get over it
@@United-States-of-Africa nope, you’re the one who needs to get over it 😂
Tramadol...on par with Darvocet as far as euphoria and worse than oxy in withdrawal
Take in high doses sure.
Tramadol is so weak it's not an opiate
Right idk wat these ppl are talking about
Tramadol?! Uh. Okaaay
So the business idea is to make generic tramadol in africa..lets say 350 mg and sell it on the streets .
