Dangers of Snorting Tramadol
Inhaling prescription medications can be exactly as hazardous as inhaling illegal ones. Making use of any drug, in any form, could be risky.
- Tramadol is a painkiller narcotic created for less addiction than similar drugs, such as OxyContin and Vicodin.
- The medication is classified under Schedule IV as per the Drug Enforcement Administration because it is not a risk for misuse or dependence on a psychological basis compared to other narcotic pain relievers.
- Doctors may prescribe tramadol to treat severe, moderate and chronic pain because the drug is available in a pill that releases immediately and an extended-release option ideal for day-to-day pain control.
- Tramadol Addiction
Tramadol is not without risk for addiction or abuse. It's an opiate. Therefore, those who struggle with addiction to substances that induce intoxication, such as opioids, are in danger of becoming addicted to tramadol. In addition, some try to get unintentional tramadol "high" by bypassing the medication's safety measures. One method is crushing and inhaling the pills to avoid the slower release in the digestive system and then forcing you to inject the drug directly into your bloodstream.

Tramadol Overdose, Addiction, Dependence, and Tolerance
Individuals who misuse tramadol or develop a dependency on the drug can experience various negative consequences even if they take it orally. In high doses, tramadol may cause seizures, serotonin disorder, and serotonin syndrome, which may cause anxiety, confusion, increased heart rate and fever, heart attack or even death.
The effects are exacerbated if tramadol tablets are crushed and taken in a snort. The intoxicant can travel through the mucous membranes that line the nose without going by the digestion system. The result is that more tramadol end in the bloodstream, and it can begin to impact the brain more quickly. Rapid-hitting effects can cause a person to experience the tramadol effect quicker and have a greater chance of taking too much tramadol. The results of an overdose can be shared quicker.
Snorting on tramadol may also increase the likelihood of developing dependence, addiction and tolerance. Since the brain can experience the dopamine-releasing effects of tramadol more quickly and with greater intensity, the reward system, which usually regulates dopamine, could require more tramadol to feel that sense of contentment and happiness. In time, the brain might be unable to handle dopamine without tramadol. This is known as dependency.
Intolerant to tramadol taken orally can cause some people to begin chewing and snorting the pills to get around the slow release from the stomach and the intestines. The person will develop tolerance to medication when they require a more significant dose to experience the initial feeling of euphoria or to experience other effects.
