Just to put the tramadol thing into perspective and i know it’s been done to death BUT
When I was put on tramadol i was given the lowest effective dose at first, 50mg twice a day.
The NHS website confirms the lowest standard tramadol tablet is 50mg.
Jack, taking 40 a day at 50ml was on 2000mg tramadol per day.
There are two types of tramadol, slow release and fast release. It is not recommended that anyone regardless of height weight etc should take more than 300mg for slow and 400ml for fast.
It states if you take an extra dose by accident, you should be okay but if you take two extra doses you should call 111.
Jack was, by her own admission, taking 1700 / 1600ml OVER the MAXIMUM recommended amount EVERY DAY for 18 months (plus other meds and drink). And even then this is on the assumption she was taking 40 of the most basic low dose trams you can get.
She‘s lying, obviously, but even if she was telling the truth where was she getting a prescription for 1120 tramadol a month and if she wasn’t, who paid who to get them?
Isn't it
A REAL COINCIDENCE that Jack revealed her
40 opiate pills a day habit shortly after
Friends Megastar Matthew Perry wrote his memoir in which he detailed that, at the height of his addiction, he was taking
80 opiate pills a day?
Here's the interesting thing: Matthew Perry almost died from his addiction to opiates, and he was visibly frail and ill in many of the seasons of Friends. There is no doubt that he was a chronic addict.
Jack was supposedly on Tramadol (Perry on Oxy - much stronger), but the attention seeking numerical claims are the same.
For the record, I have read Perry's memoir, and whilst he's pretty egocentric, there's also no doubt that he was severely addicted to opiates and alcohol. I believe he was taking 80 pills
at the very height of a long-term, debilitating, nearly-fatal addictive trajectory.
Jack is claiming to have consumed multiple-fatal doses of opiates, alongside multiple-fatal doses of alcohol on a week. Her claim to have consumed a bottle of whiskey a day and 40 Tramadol equates to a weekly total of at least:
14,000mg of Tramadol
196 units of alcohol
Whilst living Extremely Online. And parenting a child. And working *** hour weeks. And etc etc
She probably
did get a Tramadol prescription, and probably did take more than she was meant to. But could a person imbibe to the extent she claims and nobody notice?
Makes you think...
