I've been making a track and staring at a computer screen for the past 4 hours, inevitably got a headache and ate 4 50mg of my dad's tramadol thinking they we're weak pain killers (didn't look at the box!!) I'm sure it'll be fine, just like to make sure :) Or is it not going to be alright? Cheers!
I just ate 4 50mg of Tramadol, is that ok?

Hi, i would advise you to get some sleep, drink plenty of water, and the effects will wear off, but may take 24 hours...
I know it's an old reply but right on Rabbit. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Hello bass3260. You will be fine. Not to fret. Cheers! Best of health to you, pledge
i agree i think the lad will be ok cheers!
Hello Bass, Shouldn't hurt you, don't take over 150 mg without permission from a doctor though, good day.
She did answer your question, the usually dose is no more then 100mg at a time. You took 2times that. You have probably had some effects of that since then. Not looking at what meds you're taking can lead to alot of problems. This is a very bad habit.
#1-you should NEVER take pain meds that were not prescribed for you-that is illegal (not to mention your father probably needs his meds and by you taking them, you take a dose or more away from him because most meds like this are given as a months supply) #2 The normal, one time dose for this med is 50-100mg and you took 200mg. You are better off sticking to over the counter meds for a headache unless they are prescribed for you!! You are playing with fire!
cheers, but didn't quite answer my question! and i didn't knowingly take my dad's medication, i thought they we're something else!
Nobody asked you for all that. It kinda sounds like you need to mind your own business...
You can easily mistake pills.. I know In my house my dad takes the stickers off his pill bottles so there isn’t a label. A perfect example of how they can be mistaken! Don’t bash. You’ll be fine!
