Avatar f tn I took Tramadol as prescribed and became dependant very quickly which led to horrid discontinuation. It is ONE BAD DRUG! It has an anti-depressant in it which mixed with the opiad that is in it will hook you quickly. Don't go there, I am still suffering from its withdrawal affects after 8 months. It needs to be taken off the market. My PCP tapered me off but I suffered bad. She now agrees it is a dangerous medication.
Avatar f tn I am just curious about what vitamins and supplements everyone has found to be useful during recovery? I'm a month off tramadol so I'm past the withdrawal stage and trying to get back to "normal" brain function. Any advice on supplements and vitamins is much appreciated.
Avatar f tn I found myself drinking coffee and redbull yesterday to help just a little bit and I hate coffee but was drinking it. I have also picked up smoking again after 7yrs of not smoking. UGH it just seems horrible. I am feeling the pain in my legs again and that is from the bad car accident but I would prefer to feel the pain rather than not feel anything at all. I am on the last day of methadone and going to stop that tomorrow.
Avatar n tn Another 6-7 hours and another half is theoretically gone. Drinking extra fluids and taking a mild diuretuic such as 100 mg of vitamin C may hasten the excretion. The mechanism of the drug is not completeloy understood and it is conceivable that insignificant traces of the drug may remain in tissues for weeks.
Avatar f tn I have to say that while eating good and drinking water is important the first week I just decided to eat and drink whatever I wanted ..I eat pretty healthy anyway..... but I didn't agonize over nutrition the first week....I just ride to survive..... no sleep, fun withdrawal....stressful to the max career.....I let my diet slide......I did get out and exercise every day and I tried to get in the sun and I drank a lot of fluids.... oops sorry for the ramble....
1260255 tn?1288654564 s a very bad idea to mix alcohol and tramadol. It could have serious consequences. Drinking alcohol while taking Tramadol increases your risk for serious reactions. This includes the risk of Seizures and Respiratory Depression. I hope you will avoid any alcohol. I use to drink socially. I'd have a glass or two of wine several times a week. Since I have required narcotics to control my chronic pain I haven't even tasted alcohol.
1557928 tn?1304810663 I had to get stitches in various places and tramadol here over the counter is 30baht for a 10 strip of 50MG, which is about a dollar.. I have been taking them this time for 2 days, but 3 weeks ago I took them for a week and I did not pass any solids for that period and it took me sometimes up to 10 minutes to urinate.
Avatar f tn 5 days off tramadol for me...and gabapentin (nuerontin) has been my saviour. I've wd before, on account of running my prescription out before refill is due several times, and it was hell. This time....completely different. I have been drinking tons of gatorade and smoothies, but the gabapentin is my best friend. I actually don't want to go back this time. Feel better than I have in a long time. Sounds like you have an arsenal to help you...you can do it, and feel good about doing it.....
Avatar f tn I took tramadol for about a month after a surgery and now I am living with daily pain in both sides of jaw and back of head (base of skull).  Can tramadol cause that and does anyone know if it will go away...I'm miserable.  I can't even have a glass of alcohol socially or the back of my head starts hurting really bad.  I've tried a couple different muscle relaxers (zanaflex, parafon forte) and they didn't help.
Avatar f tn Is 2 months of taking Ultram everyday without a precription and WAY more than you should enough to beocome addicted? What effects will drinking have on you if you drink and take ultram?
Avatar m tn We abused our bodies for a long time so we need to give it time to heal both inside and out. Try and get up and move around. Get some fresh air, eat bananas and take epsom baths for the aches and pains. All of this will pass. You are doing great!
Avatar m tn Ive been taking Tramadol and Hydrocodone together for about three months off and on, perscribed of course, then I started reading how bad withdrawals can be from the Tramadol, so I quit taking it cold turkey with little side effects. Now I'm getting ready to quit this Hydrocodone, just a little scared from withdrawal and what to expect. will it be bad after just three months. averaged about 40 mgs. daily. I heard the Tramadol was worse, but it was nothing.
Avatar m tn i accidnetally took my partners tramadol instead of my beta blocker, It was 200mg tramadol. I started sweating about 2 hours later and i had palputations and was constantly spaced out and dizzy. I thought it was a problem with my heart so i called a ambulance and they done all the checks on my heart and i was fine. t is side effects to tramadol. Today i still feel weak and sickly and a little bit spaced out. How long does tramadol stay in your system for its been 18 hours now so frustrating.
Avatar f tn Just wondering if anyone has any idea as to about how long certain w/d symptoms from Tramadol last? I have not had any Tramadol in 11 days and I am having severe GI upset (abdominal cramping and diarrhea) and the restless legs at night are terrible. can't sleep to save my life right now. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn When was the last time you used Tramadol?
Avatar f tn Right now I am waiting for my script to refill and feel like a blob unable to do anything until it does. Quiting drinking and smoking was soo much easier.
Avatar f tn tramadol is a non-narcotic pain reliever and you can only take up to 350mg a day otherwise if you take more it is just disposed of in your liver and is wasted....tramadol covered mostly all the WD symptoms for me and i took it for about a week and a half straight and i didnt have any trouble leaving them cold turkey. now it does different from person to person on how much it takes them to get addicted but its worth a shot...
Avatar f tn Its a opiod and it has the same potential of abuse but low rates of abuse because people prefer hydrocodones and oxycodones. But tramadol is a little weaker opiod and it also works on your seratonin levels so its little different. So treat it as the vicoden if you are looking at tolerence and addiction. I have bad headaches, migraines and neck problems. No tumor but its pain that debilitates me and i am often left feeling lifeless and sorry for myself.
Avatar n tn Serotonin Syndrome Risk The development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome may occur with use of tramadol products, including ULTRAM ER, particularly with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs such as SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs and triptans, with drugs which impair metabolism of serotonin (including MAOIs) and with drugs which impair metabolism of tramadol (CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibitors). This may occur within the recommended dose.
Avatar f tn I was using about 4 pills (200mg) daily or at least every other day and also drinking alcohol on top of that : <!!! I decided to quit taking them (well actually I ran out and am too ashamed to have them refilled) last Thursday (this is day 4). I have had a terrible time sleeping, very restless. Also, TERRIBLE bodyaches, cramps, flu like symptoms (I actually thought I had the flu at first), today the diarrhea has started. My main questions are 1. How long will this last? 2.
Avatar m tn Yesterday, I had 2 teeth pulled and my mother in law gave me some tramadol. Without even thinking (and I think I was under the impression that it wasn’t an opioid) I took a 50mg. My question is.. when can I safely take my suboxone dose?
Avatar f tn Absolutely bad. As I understand it, sub if taken with opiates (and Tramadol is a synthetic opiate) will through you into full blown withdrawals.
Avatar m tn Tramadol is not only a painkiller by affecting the u-opioid receptor but it also have the proprieties of inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine which would make it a painkiller with SNRI proprieties. Pristiq is a SNRI antidepressant so both are interacting together. So you have increased risk of serotonin toxicity and increased risk of seizures and other neurological symptoms. Please call her doctor to let him know this is happening.
320944 tn?1245966599 People can get in real bad trouble for selling Tramadol on the streets? I don't know if that's what you are talking about.
Avatar m tn ve been taking the med tramadol for pain from a pinched nerve that i got from er room.
1178983 tn?1279663655 Hey, how's it going.. I responded to your other question about Tramadol just Recently.. I had an addiction to Tramadol for a good 3 years.. I also dabbled in harder opiates when I ran out of tramadol to cover the withdrawals.. I ended up withdrawing from stronger opiates such as Oxycodone and buprenorphine because of this.. and the withdrawal from those were easier for me to go through than the tramadol withdrawal.. .
Avatar m tn Yes. Long term use of pain killers, even tramadol can change the pain receptors and when you stop using it you can experience heightened sensitivity and rebound pain. Of course, if you've been using it for pain related reasons its also possible that the health condition that prompted the doctor to prescribe tramadol hasn't been resolved.
