Ick! I hate tramadol. Its one of those marmite opioids, one either loves it, or hates it, with not much in between. The SNRI effects make me uncomfortable, and its prone to causing seizures in doses above about 400mg. I'd need way more than that if I were to use it for my pain meds, due to A-tolerance and B-the extent of my knee and hip pain.
Shitty recreationally too IMHO. Wouldn't do shit to me at <300-400mg doses. Absolutely fuck all.
