I think I was allowed 4 per day, but was taking 1 and a half to two. When I tried to decrease I lowered the dosage by one pill and felt horrible the net day, like I was coming off of something strong. I ended up having to come off it a quarter pill each day. I did have my fun with it for a while.

terrorist organization. When used at higher doses, the drug "can produce similar effects to heroin." Said one former member, "whenever we took tramadol, nothing mattered to us anymore except what we were sent to do because it made us very high and very bold, it was impossible to go on a mission without taking it." Tramadol is also used as a coping mechanism in the Gaza Strip. It is also abused in the United Kingdom, inspiring the title of the TV show Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights.
