Ok. Ibuprofen or neurofen or paracetamol should do.

Aspirin is not a option at all

Why if I may ask and why do you take tramadol?

Okay.. But at times tm causes one to vomit, can u enlighten me on that aspect?

Most drugs causes nausea. I am not too sure about the mechanism yet but it has to do with the arachnoids, prostaglandins which is found on all cells of the body. Usually formed from cleaved lipids from the plasma membrane. I think it's prostaglandins E2 that induces vomiting .
Common side effects of most drug as said earlier include nausea, tiredness and vomiting.

If you are using these opiate drugs and still using for a long time, please I suggest you stop and switch to NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

I don't get the "reward pathway ' pls

The reward pathway consist of about 4 different types but opioids is connected to the mesolimbic pathway (another discussion of neuroscience). Basically it has to do with the release of the neurotransmitters "DOPAMINE" from the ventral tagmental area (VTA) into the nucleus accumbens (NA). TraMadol when taken is released from the bloodstream and pass the blood brain barrier into the brain where it binds to the opioid receptor (MU receptor), causing a release of inhibitory GABA neurotransmitter which is picked up by another pre synaptic neurons that cause the release of dopamine. Opiate slow the MU receptor causing pain relief and dopamine release is responsible for the euphoria i.e. happy feelings.
But dopamine is short acting and it's re-uptake back into neurons. This lead to a relapse of the happy feelings. So inorder to cause more happy feelings, you take more opiate, and more and more until you desensitized the pathway.
The feelings you get from good food (cake, jollof rice), likes from selfie, passing an exam and of course sex is caused by the release of dopamine.

So do u mean to say there would come a time he would probably get waned of the 1500kmg,and his system would require something higher

Yep. He will keep getting a higher dose due to his overuse of the drug to produce a better euphoria feeling and eventually damage his reward pathway, i.e. the reward pathway becomes unresponsive.
At the end he may administer a much more higher dose that will lower his cadio beyond recovery, leading to death from heart failure (causes of death from drug overdose).

We are saying the same thing here. But seriously I can't imagine someone taking 1500k of tm, he didn't stop there he went ahead to consume codeine and gin.he got Wat he bargained for

Like I said TM has no ceiling effect so it's possible to take more than 1500mg. May 1500mg was the dose that reward his pathway. It's quite broad an explanation for opiate mechanisms.
Understand that opiate has no ceiling effect.

Seriously I don't see the drugs as life threatening, except when it's over used.

It's life threatening, reasons why it's administered in low doses. It's opiate base and unfortunately all opiate drugs don't reach ceiling effects, so you may take a low dose and experience no effect, causing you to increase the dose not knowing you are overdosing. So yep it's life threatening.

I tell you...I don't know why there's so much hype over TM I was recommended to by medical doc' to take for a period of time and it work like magic to cure my severe pain till now Bro. ..my former MD in an oil and gas plant, I was so close to him and I saw 2 sachets of 100 of trams in his combined drug from a pharmacy he used to visit...one thing I agree concerning this particular drug is that doctor recommends it alot even without u knowing what kinda drug it is...I bet my md doesn't know what drug it was...most of these people who sees the other side probably abuses it, of cause too much of everything is bad..they mix it with all sorta drug and expect not to be high..I swear I never regard tram as highing substance not until now that I started reading these gibberish from nairalanders

Some doc don't even know that tram is addictive when prescribed for longer. Due to the fact that they are good painkillers they are mistaken for everyday paracetamol or aspirin.

Dongreat...done great!...knowledge is power. What we need to know...opiate drugs... opium based... pain killers... but addictive. It doesn't matter if prescribed by a doctor...or got from the streets....if used for pain relief, hope of a good sex drive or to feel good... bottom line... it's addictive. Addictive meaning once it gets a hold of your system.... your brain is going to demand it and it will be very hard for you to fight that demand....you become an addict... you have no choice. Some people become addicted and don't even know.... women.. menstrual cramps.... choose addictive opiates for pain relief over traditional herbs.... then the dosage has to be increased to be effective or the pain becomes even more severe than at first. Stay away from pharmaceuticals period.... unless absolutely necessary.
@weed.... weed is not addictive...it's just been abused. For those who still look at weed as being in the same league as addictive drugs.... in the US... weed is increasingly being legalized and is replacing many prescriptive drugs because it is more effective and non addictive. Prescriptive drugs is the #1 cause of drug addiction in the US... how to tackle it is now a government priority. We need to educate ourselves and stop popping pills like candy based on what somebody said.

Agreed. Opiate are fantastic at being analgesic but notorious for addiction and it's the reason why it's administered at a small dose. since it triggers the reward pathway, it will be difficult to control by both pharm companies and government. There are videos of real life people including animations to show the effect of drugs of abuse and it's up to the individual to know when enough is enough.

and what about rephnol and codeine, I recall mentioning those too, or you think I dont know tramadol is an opiate drug?

I never said that please but just making you understand that opiate drug mentioned in this post don't fully result to psychosis. Yes tramadol are psycho active drugs but their chances to cause psychosis is very minute to none. They are more of depressants and they don't boost sex drive.
Hallucinogenic like LSD, Psilocybin, are the bad boys also opiate such as heroine.
Rephnol are depressants.

the population of people abusing drugs especially tramadol (which seems to under the cheapest since codeine and repehnol are on the high side )is alarming, the funny thing is this people are usually hypersensitive and easly agitated when they come asking, I forsee a lot of psychiatric cases in the next decade if the ministry of health doesn't do something soon, even peoples father's are buying to have sex

Tramadol is a class of opiate drugs (same family with morphine, oxycodone and codiene). It's usually used as an analgesic (pain reliving). Like all opiate drugs they bind to the opiod receptor in the brain and cause a release of GABA which ultimately result to release of Dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter release when we have sex, good food, pass exam, playing FIFA 17 etc. But dopamine act only at short period of time. So to get that euphoria feeling, drugs that stimulate dopa release are abused i.e. excess intake.
Effect of tramadol include euphoria, low cardiovascular pressure (danger), pain relief etc.
So abusing it will result to a rapid drop of your cardio (heart rate) and that lead to death. In order words, tramadol can't lead to psychosis.

People kill snakes because of natural instinct between prey and predators. Most snakes are harmless and with hundreds of species you can't tell which one is safe for "catching with hands and petting".
Again only few population can stand the site of a snake and when do, their kill instinct kicks in. Also, the animal invaded their farm and killed their livestock, so I guess it's justifiable to put an end its encroachment.
Lastly if you are worried about snake extinction then please channel your energy to other precious creatures because they can't be extinct due to hundreds of species and as reptiles they lay multiple eggs.

Ps: we have a snake island, occupied only by snakes. That will tell you how fast they breed.

Nairaland it's not too hard to say "congratulations" to her? It's not her fault to be from a rich family who saw it wise to give her quality education. I too will do same for my children and hell yes show em off after graduation.

Too many hateful comments. Is it because her parent are wealthy or she studied abroad? I used to blame the rich for my misfortune until I realized that the fault is with the man I see every time I look at the mirror.

Poverty is not an excuse to hate the rich. In fact being poor is a good thing knowing that you have nothing to lose at all trials to succeed. How low can a poor man go when he fails in business, still poor. But a rich man, well...
