I've been looking at a bottle of tramadol for a couple weeks. I'm phobic of all meds.
I've heard tramadol lifts your mood in 2 to 6 hours, instead of the usual 2 to 6 weeks. Since they claim its primary action is serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake, I doubt that has much to do with it. Opioid action can't be too strong or else it would be a scheduled narcotic. Tramadol must have other under-recognized mechanisms at work.
Anyway, if I get brave or desperate and open that bottle, how long?
ps. I am highly aware of addition and tolerance. I have read every user's report there is available on google. Except for a few negatives, there are a ton of positives. But none of them really say how long it takes to work.
