Experience:A combination of tramadol, clonazepam, gabapentin, and dimenhydrinate

The orthopedic doc. for a friend, prescribed him tramadol (Tramal, 30x50 mg) for back pain. He is not using opiates, but he has a high tolerance to benzos. I did not take, because I am on fluoxetine.: tramadol + antidepressants = convulsions - serotonin syndrome - death (perhaps.!)

00.00 .: 250 mg tramadol + 4.00 mg clonazepam + 1200 mg gabapentin + 500 mg dimenhydrinate. Good mood.

00.30 .: A warm wave permeates throughout his body.

00.45 .: Euphoria, the only word.!!! Everything seems more 'clean', 'brilliant'. We discuss, and he is extremely optimistic.!

01.20 .: Additional 200 mg (drug limits 400 mg) + 900 mg gabapentin. Tramadol is a magic medicine. It has potential SNRI act and studied as an antidepressant, but has a moderate potential for addiction and abuse. Music (progressive rock) sounds much better - awesome. Everything feels fine.

01.25 .: 10.00 mg clonazepam. I oppose, with such a large dose of clonazepam, with an equally large dose of tramadol is a very bad idea. Both are strong drugs. He wants to get and other 100 mg tramadol. That means over the 400 mg of tramadol. Seems dangerous. Anyway, because I am sure he will do, I think that consumed two anticonvulsants (gabapentin and clonazepam), so i don't worry so much. So he takes another 100 mg.

01.50.: He is not feeling so good, nausea and hypotension. I give him salt for blood pressure and more dimenhydrinate for nausea. Dysarthria, slurred speach, he is like a drunk, disorder and akathisia. I frequently inspect him. I slept on the couch.

Next day, he told me it was great experience, although he does no remember many things. He is still 'high'. Sleeping with CEV's. Of course freaked out when he saw how that they are missing 10.00 mg clonazepam. He does not remember anything about that. In my opinion, the best way to get 'high' of tramadol is 100 mg, after 1 hour more 100 mg, after 1 hour more 100 etc. You stop at 400 mg.

The problem is that my friend got massively large doses. In the forums I read experiences for tramadol. It's a drug that many people hate or love. People for example who misuse codeine, most of them hate tramadol. My opinion is not to abuse tramadol - the tolerance is rapid. Is 'treacherous' medicine and rehab - as I read experiences - is very difficult. AND REMEMBER, COMBO NEVER with ANTIDEPRESSANTS - NEVER with ALCOHOL & SEDATIVES. Also ANTIDEPRESSANTS.

Thank you for your time. Stay safe.
