How Bad Are Zanax, Loritabs, Zanaflex, and Tramadols for You?
Question by blake: How bad are zanax, loritabs, zanaflex, and tramadols for you?
I’m just an average guy who has an addiction to things easily. I traded out weed for pills, cause I hate how long weed stays in the system. Right now I take loritab (any size) zanax bars (school bus) and tramadols (50 mg I think). Recently I started trying zanaflex and was just wondering about the “high” it gives you. I enjoy the slow down feeling and was wondering if they would do the same. Also, I wanted to try tram 300 (tramadol 300 mg) but wasn’t sure about how much to take cause I usually take about 3 trams in a sitting. I know. I need help but addiction runs in my “above average” family and I guess I got the gene. Not sure how to let go of my addictions cause I always need something to get me a high feeling whether it’s was weed, alcohol, or now pills.

I have experimented with all of the pills you have mentioned, and can basically give you my 2 cents on each and if they are worth it in the long run.
1. Loratab – I have yet to come across a loratab that didn’t have an added pain killer like apap (acetaminophen, aspirin). The ratio is usually 5-10mg hydrocodone and 500mg apap. So imagine every time you take a loratab, your really taking 10mg hydrocodone and 2 aspirin. Also, mixing alcohol with either of the actives in a loratab is extremely bad for you and should be avoided.
2.Xanax – I assume by school buses you mean the yellow 2mg xanax bars. In my opinion, if your going to do it take quarters and keep it under control. I have done some extremely regretful things while under the influence of xanax (usually mixed with alcohol), and the worst part about it was that I would never remember. I also witnessed my friends do the very same, and make some very poor moves. They are also addicting, both physically and mentally. I had a friend who went into shock going cold turkey after taking approximately 7 bars (14mg alprozolam) a day for 2-3 months. He spent 2-3 days not knowing who any of his family or friends were, stuck in a state of confusion in the hospital. He is better now, but will be paying off his medical debt for the rest of his life.
3. Tramadol – BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL with this as it has a mechanism of action that differs from other pills like it. It is labelled as a muscle relaxer, but really works in a way similar to a pain pill, with the exception of the opiod receptors it binds to. Tramadol only attaches to a certain type of receptor, making it much easier to overdose on it if you aren’t careful. It also causes the same withdrawals as codeine in the long run which is comparable to pneumonia.
If your in high school I would genuinely consider chilling out on all of the above items. Your brain is still developing, and using these drugs has been proven to influence that developmental stage in a negative way.
Your young though, and will probably indulge in hopefully a controlled manor. If you do use any of the following, make sure you use in moderation and don’t ever lose yourself and let the substance start making your decisions instead of you. I started with xanax and loratabs and fell into much worse later down the road. My one saving grace was that I was always very well read on whatever I had decided on using and knew exactly how it would effect me. I would do your homework on whatever you plan on putting in your body, so you can make an educated decision on whether or not you want any part of it.
