hello good evening guys hope we good?
let me go straight to the point I've got this friend of mine who stays in the same estate her with me in ibeju-lekki area this young man is in his late twenties and also a graduate, this his addiction started way back when we were still undergraduate
. he used to use this particular drug just because of reading sake Co's he once told me his brain it's always at it's peak whenever his on this drug and he tends to assimilate anything he reads, now he's outta school though he got side hustle put guys my guy is outta hand the rate at which he takes this drugs now is alarming the reason I'm saying this is simply on the fact that I was with him yesterday evening and I needed him to enter d number of a mechanic he recommended for me to fix ma car,... his hand was really shaking badly that I noticed he had to quickly adjust by using the other hand to hold on to the phone, I tried engaging him into a man on man conversation but he reluctantly snapped out! so when we drove to his apartment I noticed just when his was about to take a leak just outta curiosity I entered his room and saw lots of sachets of these particular drugs I mean lots of it, so I confronted him and there he goes telling me he can't go a day without taking nothing less than 800-1000mg I didn't know when I said Jesus, and he is always aggressive I'm just feeling very concerned the thing is that he doesn't listen to me on matters like this, and he's fiance is a nurse and she's also not aware of his addiction

his mother too isn't aware although both his mum and girl are close to me I'm thinking of bringing them into talking to him especially his fiance Co's I know he loves and respects her and would most likely listen to her, but at the same time I don't want to be seeing as a snitch and end up spoiling our relationship he'll never tell me anything and most likely won't trust me! how Do I bring them to know about this without making it all pointing to me, note I'm the only one he opened up to.. even he's fiance as close as she is she has no idle about his addiction and seriously assuming he's only taking it occasionally I won't mind or maybe taking it on a low quantity I'll just be about fine but a thousand mills daily hahba he needs help!

Please stop whining already and speak out about it to his parents. He needs help fast cause his life is at stake. Dont tell the fiance yet cause she might leave him if the addiction is that bad, i just dont believe she doesn't know.

Your guy will die soon if nothing is done about it. A neighbourhood guy died of this same addiction of taking virtually a sachet everyday.
Save your friends life rather than your relationship with him.

The only option here seems to be forceful rehab. Confide in the police, arrest him with evidence and advice/refer him to rehab as his only option of freedom. It wont be easy i tell you. But you must confide in someone who is a close relative including his mother.

that drugs is a killer. this one time I took it for straight one week, felt like a mini god. The following week I stopped taking it I was really really weak, to the point I couldn't carry a bucket of water, and it slows your heartbeat (for me)
the other time I took about 300mg, first time a babe came to look for me, my level couldn't stand( what an irony I thought the drug makes you a monster in bed)..
avoid the drugs, doesn't give any reasonable pleasure.

Next time, if you wanna be a monster in bed, buy Vega or Viagra or any of those ginseng/honey teas. If headache is worrying you, buy Panadol. Drug abuse ain't good.

I'm grateful I reacted badly to that drug when I tried it. Lord knows I could have been an addict.



Then when I was still helping my brother at shop during holidays, there were so much work to do and the sales girl then doesn't know much about the work. I took a tablet of 50mg of tramadol with a bottle of Fanta on an empty stomach in order to energize me to do much work. Not up to 30mins later I couldn't see clearly. My eyes were turning, my stomach was in war. I started vomiting every 5 mins, the only thing left was my intestines. I had to tell my brother what's going on. Injection was given to me before I regained myself. Since then, I dey fear even the empty pack on ground sef.

Drug addiction is a respecter of no one, he might have tried to stop it, but the problem is the withdrawal effect. Sit him down and ask if he is afraid of the withdrawal effect, if that should be the case their are drugs for that, I have friends who have passed this stage, they were not afraid to stop, but the problem was the withdrawal effects.

Bros, bring his fiancée and mother into it. His life is at stake! He will only see you as a snitch when he's alive and with the way he's going about it at about 1000mg per day, it doesn't look like he's got long to live at that rate. Even if the drug is something nutritious and beneficial taking such amount as 1k mg would overload his system with it and cause damage

His case is a bit complicated tbh. He needs professional help at this point. His system must be detoxified. I'd have suggested tapering his doses but I think he's too into it.
Please find a way to cajole him into seeking help; he needs it.

Your friend is addicted to Tramadol and asking him to stop or telling his fiancé is not going to make him stop. Addicts do become pathogical liers and the only thing he will do is promise to stop and keep doing it . A physical dependency does not resolve with promises and threats.
He is at very high risk of death. Tramadol like heroin work on the part of the brain that regulate breathing, respiratory depression--that is, when a person's breathing becomes inadequate to support them--is one of the most serious concerns in an overdose and can lead to death.

This is a real reality for your friend. Please don’t be angry with him or gang up on him.

To come off that much tramadol he needs a medical detox. There is no way around this anyone who tells you otherwise has never worked with addicts. He has to want to stop not coerced.

Dude, find a way to tell both his fiancee and mum. Give the fiancee a clue where he keeps those stuffs and when next she gets to his house, let her play towards that place, and find it. When she sees it, let her confront him.

Go ahead and tell anyone he listens to about this addiction, because saving his life is far better than the friendship you want to save. Think about if he runs mad or dies, which friendship will u save?

But before u tell any of those people close to him about his addiction, first warn him that u will do that, but not because u want to betray him but because u love him and wants him healthy and alive, that u don't mind losing the friendship if that telling will save his life.

But on a serious note, your written language is so poor unlike a sound graduate.

I wonder if u are among the youths Buhari was referring to as lazy, coz it's obvious your staying in the university was to pass exams and get a certificate. Lol.....

Expensive joke though....
