I took a 50mg tramadol today for sever back pain, it worked for the pain, the euphoria or high was not my cup of tea and the vomiting 4hours after taking the first pill was hotrible, but lucky for me by that time I had just been drinking water (I ate lunch then took my pill) because I was nauseous and couldnt stomach anything but. so about a half our ago my pain started to return, and in effort to not get nauseous or "high" I had garlic bread and pasta (lots of carbs) then cut the pill in half to make it 25mg and followed the pill with another piece of bread. my questions are, will I wake up from my sleep to vomit? is it ok to cut tramadol 50mg in half? do I have another alternative in pills? I dont like how.I.felt today and would prefer not to feel that way again.
