DOSE:
50 mg oral Tapentadol (pill / tablet)
BODY WEIGHT: 150 lb
I was able to buy 50mg tapentadol (Tydol brand) from overseas. I bought them because I have some orthopedic problems and need to work out to be flexible for walking etc., not necessarily to get high. Working out hurts like hades for me but if I don't do it I could develop more serious problems. I used to get oxycodone from physicians, but I moved to a new state and no more pain meds.

Anyway I received these tablets in the mail and tried one out yesterday. I took a 50 mg pill and waited till I could feel it, around 15 minutes, then began my work out of stretching moving and so forth. Since working out is boring I focused in on the subjective feeling of tapentadol as I did my routines. The initial high came on pretty noticeably. I felt high and euphoric. I worked out for about 20 minutes then stopped. The pain medication made all the difference in the world. The euphoric effects of the tapentadol wore off quickly, after about one hour, and a few hours after taking it, I did experience a mild headache. I felt a little jumpy, in fact I felt more alert than usual.

Overall the experiment worked. I was able to have an extended work out with relative comfort and didn't feel too washed out from the drug. Since it worked so well I will cut a pill in half and see if the work out goes well on 25 mg. Also, I will order some tramadol for working out and save the tapentadol for more acute pain episodes.
