Avatar m tn Can I take Tramodol with Effexor XR, Clonazepam, Trazadone, Lunesta, Gabapentin, Hydroxyzine. I am on all these medications for clinical depression and panic/anxiety disorder. But now I was recommended to take Tramodol for pain. Will there be a bad interaction with the drugs I just named? I would like to know each drug I have listed seperately and it's interaction with tramodol. Example....Can I take Effexor XR with Tramodol? Can I take Clonazepam with Tramodol?? Etc. ect.

Avatar m tn google "drug drug interaction" and you will find options for checking medication interactions....i use one of these sites regularly and some allow you to set up your own medication profiles. good luck!
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.
5093508 tn?1390543931 I soon fixed it myself, as all the different meds the psychiatrists tried me with, only made me worse with nausea added to the mix Weaned off all those before I got too addicted, and began taking gabapentin again, which solved the whole problem. I had stopped taking the Gabapentin suddenly, as I didn't have the money for it., and that is what caused the anxiety/depression. Now that is, or was under control, I cannot bear to feel this anxiety jitters and strange scared feeling again!
4705307 tn?1447970322 More so than taking hydrocodone 5-325 or tramadol 50 mg. Neither of which I liked to take. I am a recovering addict and scared to death of opiates. Besides my knees and back and hands don't hurt as much. Those other meds, 2xs a day didn't touch I haven't had to ***** today, and I am getting my focus back.
Avatar f tn So my dr gave me gabapentin for tramadol withdrawals. It has helped wonderfully. This was 7 days ago. So I think I am over the withdrawals from the tramadol but I have been taking high doses of gabapentin in that 7 days. Like anywhere from 900-1800mg a day to stave off withdrawals. My question is how long will it take to develop a gabapentin addiction because I've read horror stories about the withdrawals.
Avatar f tn Hi all hoping for some advice. I was prescribed both Tramadol & Gabapentin for sciatica im on 2 x 50mg of tramadol 3 times a day so 300mg total and two x 300mg three times a day 900mg total of Gabapentin. Ive lost a lot of weight which has pretty much cleared up the sciatica. Thing is these last few days I've felt really depressed and low, this is what started me to think and look at this stuff almost pulling me to take more and i really dont want to, i want to come off them.
Avatar f tn I think that it helped me with the RLS and a little with sleep. I had that and clonidine (BP med) and couldn't have gone cold turkey from tramadol without them! Good luck!

615048 tn?1226186203 Don't know about withdrawls with that but i took the gabapentin for like a week and it made me a crazy hostile paranoid person. That drug is strange and i think you should pay close attention to your symptoms when quitting. btw- my doctor had perscribed it thinking that it may help with my pain. hah-not quite.
Avatar f tn You are correct about there the MAJOR drug interaction between tramadol and sertraline (Zoloft). Please note that there are several moderate drug interactions with your medications, for example, sertraline (Zoloft), pregabalin (Lyrica), clonidine, and methocarbamol (Robaxin) all can increase side effects such dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired thinking and judgment when taken together. It would be a good idea to review your medication regimen with your provider and pharmacist.
Avatar f tn Gabapentin is not the answer and you don't want to trade one drug for another. I'm only saying in helped ME.
Avatar f tn I also take gabapentin. Three weeks ago I stopped temazepam and tramadol. I am taking zolpidem every night now and continue gabapentin 3x a day. I don't crave either of the meds I quit, but I have been experiencing inability to concentrate, ringing in my ears, vomiting, blurry vision, sweating, confusion, anxiety and mood swings. The symptoms wax and wane and I can't find a pattern. The seem to occur as a cluster, meaning all symptoms occur together and come on suddenly.
Avatar n tn I was taking 100 darvocet once a day, took 900 mg of gabapentin a day, 100 mg of tramadol 3 times a day, prozac 40 mg a day, mevacor 20 mg a day, elavil 100 mg at night, 1200 mg ibropofen a day, migraine medicine (maxalt 10) 3-4 times a week. basically I went into the e.r. where they basically were going to send me to the psych ward (which they didn't even have one), I left.
Avatar m tn ive been on tramadol for about 3 years now it started with gall bladder pain and then i got hooked and faked pain to get scripts..im over being on this drug its addictive and it controls my life, i have been without for a couple of days at a time but get bad withdraws, mainly the restless legs at night and i cant sleep, im groggy during the day and really short tempered and just cant concentrate...
Avatar f tn I was thinking about trying st. John's wort for depression. I take tramadol for a knee alignment issue. I currently take 100mg-200mg about 3 times a week. I know there is an interaction with st. John's wort due to the seratonin increase they both cause. Am I able to take the st. John's wort on days I don't need the tramadol? If not, how long should I wait to take the St. John's wort after taking the tramadol and when would I be able to take the st.
Avatar m tn I also ran an interaction checker on all three, Tramadol, Hydroxyzine and Synthroid, Synthroid produce no interaction with the other two, al though I di get a "Moderate" Interaction on Tramadol and Hydroxyzine as below: MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
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 When prescribing gabapentin carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and observe them for signs and symptoms of gabapentin misuse or abuse (e.g. development of tolerance, self-dose escalation, and drug-seeking behavior). Dependence There are rare postmarketing reports of individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms shortly after discontinuing higher than recommended doses of gabapentin used to treat illnesses for which the drug is not approved.
Avatar n tn The best thing about the gel is that they are all non-addictive, less drug on drug interaction and you can apply it directly to the source of your pain. If you dont have insurance to cover the cost then its probably not worth it because the bottles were $240, luckily all I had to pay was $10 co-pay. Now I havent heard of too many people that have used these gels, but it worked wonders for my pain.
Avatar m tn What I would like to know is if we can direct a doctor to the right literature on this and he/she is willing to help, can gabapentin and tramadol be used to treat children for this condition of neurogenic cough and how would we find accurate dosing help? Would the typical dosage amounts of these meds used to treat children for seizures be applicable for this condition? If these medications cannot be used in children for neurogenic cough, what other alternative meds would be helpful?
Avatar f tn Hello I am coming off the tramadol and feel terrible is the gabapentin addictive and do u get withdrawels from them if u try to come off the gabapentin?
Avatar n tn No added interaction. Make sure to bring full list of all medications your husband is on to each doctor's appointment as he may see more than one prescriber and make sure to show that list to them each time they consider prescribing new medications. Jennifer R RPH www.drugstore.
