can i take tramadol and ibuprofen

Hi. I take it you've not tried plain old paracetamol + ibuprofen to see of that'll help? If you have a history of addiction it's not 100% safe to have what can be an addictive med. However it MUST NOT be taken with alcohol so if you do take tramadol and it helps the pain and you don't drink then that's great. But if you slip up then you must stop and find another way for the pain.

It can be taken together safely. If you have any worries talk to your doctor as well as your pharmacist. Using either for a short time, you needn't worry. In general, my feeling is Tramadol is the worse of the two. For some reason a lot of doctors think Tramadol doesn't cause dependence or addiction. The truth is it can and does. And Tramadol can be harder to come off because it has two components to it. One is the pain reliever part and the other is an antidepressant-like part.

I have been on Darvocet (3 x day) for ten years. I have severe scoliosis, deteriorating disks and bone spurs in my neck. With Darvocet being withdrawn from the market, my doctor put me on Tramadol, 2 x day. Today is my first day on the new meds, I feel rather out of sorts but not too bad yet. Can't tell yet whether it's helping pain or not, since I always hurt. Has anyone else switched to Tramadol? With the Darvocet dose I've been on, can I expect severe withdrawal symptoms?

I have recently found out that i have 2 pinched nerves and a herniated (sp?) disk in my spine. I was pres. Tramadol b/c I told my doc that i refuse oxy's or any thing of the sort.(friends and family have a big big problem with those drugs and i'm not goin there again) I was taking them for a while then relized uhhh basically still gonna get me Fed in the A in the long run plus i'm pretty sure i'm alergic to it, it makes me itch like crazy and gives me bad headaches.

It has the potential for addiction because it affects neurotransmitters like seratonin and norepinepherine like other opiates. Tramadol usually has Tylenol or Ibuprofen in it an a adjunct pain reliever. What else have you tried for back pain? Tylenol and Ibuprofen are unfortunately overlooked. I would always try them first. They can be taken together safely. Ibuprofen is not recommended for long term use for people with kidney or stomach problems.

I'm 6 weeks and having horrible headaches, back pain and cramping. I wanted to know what I can take and what works. I'm a little hesitant due to having a miscarriage and I just moved out of state and can't see a doctor until next week.

I usually take one Tramadol ( 50 mg ) a day for a somewhat chronic pain in my neck, back and shoulders, since I cannot afford physical therapy at the time. Yesterday I took a lot of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol instead, because I had an important exam at the University and didn't want to be groggy. I am concerned, when to start taking Tramadol again or going with the combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol instead, since Ibuprofen also has an effect on inflammations. Am I taking to much?

i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal. i am worried that the tramadol and ibuprofen could damage my liver. i only take 7.5-750mg vicodin. wouldnt it be better to just take the vicodin again?

hi and welcome. I agree with Hector i wouldnt take tramadol unless pain was severe they are a ***** to come off if using for a long time. I was on them twice both times for 6/7 mth while waiting for carpul tunnel in both hands been a chef i found they were the only thing that worked well enough for me to continue my work as a chef and the sx of coming off them was not pleasent.

Theyre infrequent now but i have a reaaallyy bad one. I take my naltrexone at 7 am, and its now 2am (its so bad i cant sleep). Based on halflife could i take a small dose of tramadol to help?

I saw my NS today and was telling him about the pain I was in and the problems I was having and that I was currently trying to avoid Norco and taking more Ibuprofen. Well he is referring me to Physical Therapy (yeah, I'm hoping it helps me out) and also massage therapy and prescribed me Tramadol. He said to take it every 6 hours everyday as it is not an 'as needed medication' like Norco or Ibuprofen.

Hiya Girls, does anyone know what sort of painkillers i can take, i keep getting bad headache and i would normally take ibuprofen for it, but i have heard thats not good for the baby

I tried a few times to not take it, but when I dont I get very restless and get a bad headache. When I take it the heafache goes away within 10 to 20 mins and the restlessness goes awau too. I dont want to take pills all the time, I already have a bad liver from a previous surgery. My question is, is this a sign of addiction? What can I do to stop the feelings and the pills? Ive alreaduy weened myself down to 1 pill. Please help, I dont want to form a depency and I think I may have already.

I suffered a spinal injury 5 years ago, I take tramadol, and 800 ibuprofen. I try not to take the ibuprofen now only when I have a headache. During treatment last year , I needed to take more tramadol and ibuprofen, because my back pain was horrible and I am in pain 24/7.

I have chronic neck pain from a disk protrusion in my neck - I was in a car accident over a year ago and it's so overwhelming I can barely stand it. Technically, yes, I have abused my vicodin prescription - I take about 6 or 7 5/350's and I'm about to run out - 9 days before my refill is due. I can't ask for another early refill - my doctor is going to flip out if I do. I've tried the slow release oxycodone but it makes me too tired and I absolutely prefer vicodin.

I have recently been Prescribed Tramadol ( Zydol ) 50mg for Chronic Arthritic pain I wondered if anyone could tell me if I can take Paraceatamol or Ibuprofen at the same time ....... I am currently only taking 50mg of Tramadol every 4 hours but it isn't really doing much by itself for the pain.

I got the flu at about 26 weeks. I'm now 32.5 weeks. I was allowed to take tylenol and I took robitutisum(sp) dm for cough. I Also got throat lozenges they helped. But once my fever got over 102 I was told to go to my normal dr. They ended up giving me tamaflu which I took for 5 days. Theres pros n cons with taking tamaflu. In my case it was a pro as my fever wouldn't go down with just tylenol. Keep fluids up. I'm A FTM too and baby and I are doing great.

i had my wisdom tooth out 5 days ago and now my cheek is a bit swollen and still sure can i take amoxacillin?

I only had Tramadol (50mg) for pain when 2 shoulder reconstructions and even then, I only took them for 2-3 days as they knocked me for six!

Is it possible that I will be able to quit my addiction to Norco ( about 10 a day) and be able to still work and take care of my kids, or should I wait until I find some time that I can take time off, maybe send my kids to a family memebers? has anyone ever continued with thier normal life threw the withdrawals and detox procedure and what should i excpect?

tramadol information -- I am not sure if you received it or not. Maybe others can help to. I will post it as a question!

Hydrocodone only comes with either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Tramadol is another medication that I use with my patients that is of equal effectiveness but does come without the other medications. However, some patients will experience nausea with tramadol. Good luck!

I was given flexeril and tramadol for back/neck pain. So, I might just be strange, but I got hooked on tramadol after 4 a day for a little over 2 weeks. I wasn't mentally hooked, but when I stopped I thought I was going to die. I actually went to the doctor because I was just convinced I had the flu. It turns out it was wd from the tramadol. But that's just me......just a warning to be careful!

Tramadol and Ultram have very little if any effect and I have been told my the family doctor that Ibuprofen, Aleve and Celebrex are now unhealthy for my eye condition. Any suggestions as to what can be taken for pain that won't interfere with the current eye treatments?

You should call your pharmacist. That's what they are there for and it's free.
