Avatar f tn Hi there- I've never taken Suboxone but I know that the lower the dose you jump from, the better you'll feel. In your case, 4mg is too high a dose to abruptly stop. Its too high a dose for anyone. Most people taper slowly down to .5, .25, or crumbs. Tramadol may be making you feel worse and it WILL prolong wd's because it comes with its own set of unpleasantries. I'd say call the doctor and go back on so you can taper very slowly...and stay away from the Tramadol...
Avatar m tn Pediatric gabapentin dose ranges from 10 to 15 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses, and that of tramadol is 1 to 2 mg/kg/dose every 4 to 6 hours. However, a much lower dose may be needed to control cough. Also, it is not the usual treatment for pediatric cough of any origin as situation needing these drugs is rare in pediatric population. Also, chronic cough in a child may not have a neurological component. It may be due to low vitamin B 12, reflux or due to allergy.
544292 tn?1268882668 s not the most alarming part of Tramadol in my case. In my case the antidepressant that they tacked on to the cocktail is the thing that causes all the rough psychological and mental symptoms. It's a Two Fer One! I've been feeling like I was going crazy for a long time. And in addition to that; the scary suicidal ideation. The suicidal ideation vanished and returns ONLY if I get a flare up of withdrawal symptoms. That happens if I get over stressed. So i need some coping mechanisms.
Avatar f tn t on a very high dose of tramadol. It was 3 50mg daly just to stay even and I did take them for 2 years but I tapered down to 2 half pills daly and once I was off I had bad withdraws I tapered for 4 weeks maybe more before stopping but the worst part was the depression from tram so I started on Vicodin to start a new taper. I took 1/4 of a 350 mg pill 2 day for 4 weeks and have been clean since on day 11.
Avatar m tn Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of tramadol above the recommended range. Concomitant use of tramadol increases the seizure risk in patients taking: •Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), •Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, promethazine, etc.), or •Other opioids.
Avatar n tn t think you should be stopping your benzo at the same time you are stopping your tramadol. I know you are on a low dose of it but I think that doing one thing at a time is best. You are at risk of having a seizure by going off the benzo cold turkey. I am tapering off methadone and I also take Klonopin ( clonazepam ) and I was told by my methadone doctor not to go off both meds at the same time. Also, the benzo just might help out your withdrawal from the tramadol. Again this is just my opinion.
Avatar f tn I am hoping to get off my year-long love affair with Tramadol. I don't want to live like this, from dose to dose. I take 8 or 9 a day and have had no trouble with them, other than I'm going to have to look for other remedies for my colitis pain, like Bentyl. However, about 2 weeks ago, I was watching TV when I felt a tightening around my forehead and around the back of my head and then a tingling went from my neck down my arms to my fingers.
Avatar f tn i came of tramadol and ive come off really high doses of oxy and hydrocodone and the tramadol is worse. but you can do this, you got to, think about how much better your going to feel. you gotta taper on tramadol, not just because CT can make you have a seizure but because its just such a nasty little drug you want to be on the smallest dose possible. i found that DRAMAMINE was a blessing for tramadol withdrawal. you have alot of nausea and dizziness when tapering down and when you stop.
Avatar f tn basically any drug that gives u a buzz, the tramadol started w the doctor who gave me 3 a day, then in the end i would take a script of 90 in 3 days, and anyone who has abused, or took tramadol knows it is an EXTREMELY hard drug to wd from.
464393 tn?1206755395 While prescriptions like oxycodone are given in prescritions of 10, 20, and 30 tabs, it is not uncommon to see prescriptions of tramadol given in counts of 50 to 200 pills per prescription, often with refills. It is treated by most doctors as a single step up from tylonol and ibuprofin. Also, because it is not a controlled substance, it can be prescribed by both physician assistants as well as actual MDs.
Avatar m tn I am on my second day of 10 per day of Tramadol. I woke up late this morning (about 8:30 AM) I usually take my first dose of 4 at 6AM. And my second dose at 8AM. So when I woke up at 8:30AM, I just took 7, my 1st and 2nd dose at the same time. I think that was a mistake, after about 45 minutes to an hour later I threw up. So I probably threw up some of my 1st and 2nd dose. I took my 3rd dose of 3 about half an hour ago. Other than that I guess I'm doing ok.
Avatar f tn Hit the steaming hot bath tub w/Epsome. Have the time to dose off when your body wants to dose off. You really need some rest Blue. Congrats on your 5 days! You're amazing!
Avatar m tn The withdrawal is highly suprising me tho. I am using approximately 20-30mg of Hydrocodone a day to get off the tramadol. Question 1 is this considered cold turkey and am I flirting with another seizure. (stopping tramadol but using vicodin)? Or am I okay and is this not considered cold turkey. My seizure was sunday night. monday I took 3 tramadol(300mg) Tuesday, wens and thursday no tramadol just vicodin.Should I quit the vicodin and go back to taper with the tramadol now just to be safe.?????

In most cases, tramadol withdrawal will set in 12–20 hours after the last dose, but this can vary.
Avatar f tn I just notice it with activity. I think I am doing ok. I’m just worried I’m not in the thick of the tramadol withdrawal but it has been 15 days since last dose.
Avatar f tn Gday is there anyone in Australia on these forums having trouble with tramadol...I am in Queensland..Thanks Anyone can join in any help is great thanks everbody.......
Avatar n tn I have recently been taken off of tramadol by my Doctor after having taken it for 7 long years. It was a slow process that started in November 2007, about 6 months ago, and I have been completely off the drug since the end of March, 2008. I took the maximun dosage (Plus a little more) for years! Now that I am completely off of it, I STILL am having a sometimes terrible Burning/ Tingling sensation on my skin that can encompass my whole entire body. Sometimes it isn't very noticable....
Avatar f tn Following a single IV 100 mg dose of tramadol, the cumulative excretion in breast milk within 16 hours postdose was 100 mcg of tramadol (0.1% of the maternal dose) and 27 mcg of M1." http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=ae7c54b1-b440-4cca-97e8-e5b825413d32#nlm34070-3 ************************************************************************************** Please share your concern and this information with your OBGYN regarding tramadol usage during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn The nights are quiet here so check back in the morning as i am sure they will see this. I dont have alot of experience with tramadol so just wanted to welcome you.
Avatar f tn Determining a dosage of tramadol for dogs is an exercise in futility. As with people, if the dog has a history of seizures it is important to let your vet know this, and they will likely tell you about alternatives. While the dosage amounts vary from dog to dog, the tramadol dosage for dogs can be put into effect by using the dog’s weight as the determinant. The usual range is .5 - 1.8mg per pound.
Avatar f tn Chances are less likely for serotonin syndrome if you take your Cymbalta in the morning and tramadol at night. But I still find the 100mg tramadol dose considerably high.
Avatar f tn It has now been 51 hour since my last dose of sub, which was about 1mg. Slight w/d and a decent amount of pain but I'm in the mind set that I am DONE. I could live the rest of my life feeling this way which isn't really 'up to par' but I think I'd be okay. I know that within a few days, this too shall pass and I will be able to start my new life. The subs really were a life saver to me - I'm thankful to have found them!!
Avatar m tn You should consult with your doctor since tramadol does effect serotonin. Most SSRI's take approx 2 weeks to become effective. It is also dangerous to take SSRI's with tramadol (especially high doses) because of the risk of serotonin syndrome (which could be life threatening). So before you start an antidepressant your doctor should be aware of how much tramadol you are taking. Congrats on making the decision to take your life back!
Avatar m tn In your case, if you start having discontinuation symptoms, I would suggest taking about half of what you WERE taking, and stay on that dose for a few days. Then cut that in half for three more days, and then stop. Your symptoms will be minimal if you follow that schedule.
1349329 tn?1276985202 Keep track of how many pills have been used from each new bottle of this medicine. Tramadol is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if any person in the household is using this medicine improperly or without a prescription Seizure Risk Seizures have been reported in patients receiving tramadol within the recommended dosage range. Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of tramadol above the recommended range.
