237152 tn?1206651036 i asked my dr when he first prescribed it to me and of course he said it was very safe and non addicting but they also say that bout tramadol too so......now im worried lol....
Avatar f tn Hello marycarmal! Thanks for your comment! And yes I'm afraid for our youth as well. And yes, I'm looking for a new ob/gyn and pcp! I agree, how can a doctor that put you on the med be so uncaring about you and your unborn child! He wanted to put me on the Lyrica when I first started seeing him but, I didn't have any insurance at the time, and tramadol was suppose to be the "safe" and the non addictive alternative to the opiates, back then. And the ob/ gyn that I seen.....
Avatar f tn You could start to reduce the lyrica but start tapering the tramadol properly and then tapering the lyrica (I believe lyrica may take a bit more time and discomfort than the trams but that's just my personal opinion). How much do you take how often and since how long?
Avatar n tn Im in the same boat, i have fibromyalgia, and a ruptured disc in my back that i have to have surgery on in the near future, and i just got off methadone 40 days ago and i was going through serious wd,s AND back pain, my dr. gave me lyrica which helps alot. dont take the trams because your swithing one addicting drug for another and eventually u will have to withdraw from that too.
Avatar f tn A few months before I started HCV tx I started taking Lyrica and Tramadol for the body pains I was having; they are prescribed by my pain management dr. After researching Tramadol last week and seeing its sx I was wondering if it was contributing to the hallucinations I was having with the interferon and ribavirin. I asked the doctor if there was any other pain med I could take after doing the research and scaring myself silly and was told no.
Avatar f tn Ketoprofen and tramadol should help with the sharp pain, but there is a drug called Lyrica which is used to treat nerve pain. You can discuss this option with your doctor.
1069827 tn?1296650628 I would certainly recommend NOT using tramadol, if at all possible. If you get the chance type in tramadol withdrawls and see the info provided. I just want to try and get the word out, because drs. do not seem to be aware of these issues. I hope this can help someone else from going down this path. Hang in there everyone.
1378325 tn?1285346625 Have you tried the fibro meds like Lyrica, Cymbalta or Savella? I have had a lot of relief from Lyrica and did not sleep well until I started it. D-Ribose (only when I remember to take it) really helps. An excellent multi-vitamin, vitamin D, C0Q10, selenium and fish oil may also help. Not sure what pain relievers you have tried but do be aware that Tramadol doesn't work for everyone. It does nothing for me. I take ibuprofen and Tylenol 3's as needed. I hope you find some relief.
Avatar m tn Mainly in my back, legs and feet. It all migrates and is generally awful. I was given Tramadol to help with the pain. I thought great, at last some relief. I was very dissapointed to find out that it realy didn't give me the relief I hoped for. So I did what I would imagine was the right thing to do, I stopped taking them altogether. MY GOD!!!.Why wasn't I told of what would happen. I am on day three of going cold turkey and its hell.
1986130 tn?1326767295 this is my 3rd day off tramadol and im feelin alittle better but when do i get strenght back? i have no energy and what is good for back pain? i have been takin lyrica, is that ok for the withdrawls?
Avatar m tn Yes Ive tried lyrica and it did help, however Im with a new doctor now and he didnt want to prescribe it for some reason. I didnt really get into the why not, Im just hoping this Mobic will help. But from what I understand about it, its just a stronger NSAID so Im not sure how helpful its going to be with nerve pain. I have to go get a lumbar MRI to hopefully see what the deal is.
1291268 tn?1274810922 DON'T DO IT. I am a Lyrica survivor. There are others on the Lyrica Survivors page on Facebook. I'll send you a message with a link to check out as well.
Avatar f tn Ive been on lyrica and nuvigil fro fibro pain and fatigue, and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken either one of those while pregnant. I've stopped them for i was on only 50 mg of lyrica and about 100 of nuvigil. but I'm still worried, and i feel like I've been hit by a train once again, the pain is almost unbearable, i know my doc personally, have an appt. with him for the 12th.
Avatar f tn You may do better on proper dose of Lyrica using Lyrica without the Vicodin along with the NSAID and perhaps a benadryl at night to help you sleep. Just a thought.
722310 tn?1234762137 in May 2008, I worked myself off of all the meds (oxycodone, hydrocodone, ativan, tramadol) except Lyrica and Soma. Last month I went back to the dr. and he put me on tramadol. I just stop taking lyrica because of the side effects (swelling, blurry vision). My pain level is out of control still, and I don't know what to do. I feel extremely hopeless. I am really struggling on this. It has been off and on for so long and it has been a long time since I have had a reprieve from pain.
Avatar f tn and im prescribed .5 klonopin 3 times a day for anxiety, and the lyrica for anxiety and the lyrica does help with the pain, it numbs it without the "high" feeling...i know everyones withdrawels are different, i think i can handle the physical part, its the mental part im more afraid of i think, like is it gonna make me feel dizzy, weird headed, anything like that? i dont know, ive never had to wd...
Avatar m tn m also taking Lyrica and Tramadol - for about two years. My doctor now, has decided i need to come off those and the citalopram and change to Zispin which leaves me zonked and I'm gaining weight. I'm fiercely angry at present, very aggitated, irritable, I have seen a Psychiatrist twice, the last time be confirmed what an idiot he is when he told his resident to tell me, "ya, stop taking the Zispin is she wants".
Avatar f tn So many people say NEVER take tramadol and Zoloft together and that they have ended up in the hospital after only taking 200 mg of tramadol while currently taking 100mg or less of Zoloft or another SSRI. Am I just being paranoid? I don't want to chance this syndrome. Please help me......I was never told of safe doses just told by doc if I had any of the symptoms get to the ER ASAP. Why take the chance? That is my feeling.
Avatar f tn im not currently on the tramadol and havnt been because of the last constipation problem i had lasted over 2 weeks weeks and caused sooo much pain and my stools were black so iwent to the doc got some xrays and give samples ijust didnt think to ask about the orange coloring.
757597 tn?1315801812 Right before I read your post, I've been reading the Tramadol withdrawl thread under EmilyPost posts. I really suggest you read it and see what other users have experienced. At my peak I was on both Cymbalta and Lyrica (for three years) plus eight Ultracet each day (for three years). I've discontinued both the Cymbalta and Lyrica (and this wasn't pretty!) and I am on the Ultracet "reduction plan" - down to two per day.
451366 tn?1211304932 THEY ARE GREAT FOR BURNING FEET OR RESTLESS LEGS AND BACK PAIN. I TAKE IT WITH TRAMADOL PAIN MED AND CYMBALTA FOR BURNING FEET... A TOTAL MIRACLE WORKER COMBINED....
Avatar m tn I have quit tramadol a couple of times, each after a few months of use, and I had classic withdrawal symptoms of fever/chills, aching joints and feeling generally out of sorts. Then again, that was only for a few (unpleasant) days. On the other hand, I've stopped using doloxene with no problems, and similarly for panadeine forte.
