699217 tn?1323438700 I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab. Although they are all narcotics, vicodin and lortab are lesser strength than the oxy's and morphine.
Avatar n tn Well last year I was tested and the test was done in front of me. I was on Tramadol at the time and I passed the test. I asked what exactly they were testing for and they said "Opiates" "Speed" & Pot. Tramadol is a man made Opiate and when I was test it didn't show up as an Opiate. Good luck to ya and when you take the test just tell them you take them and your doctor gives them to you, like I did.
968560 tn?1307451498 Hi mpace6983, all I can say is I had the same problem with Tramadol and I also got insomnia from Tramadol and hydrocodone. So, I think you could try Valium but that is stronger I think. Maybe you have a cross reaction with another drug too? I know you will get a better answer on this site. Good luck and hope your pain gets better.
1395709 tn?1280427381 please DO NOT take the Tramadol to get off another drug. I was having a problem Vicodin and I took Tramadol to get off the Vicodin and it was the worst thing I ever could have done!! I am now taking 12-18 pills a day of Tramadol and the withdrawal from that is way worse than the hydro in my opinion!! Good luck to you!
Avatar m tn t want to prescribe more Oxycodone so he prescribed Tramadol. I have been on some sort of pain medication since March 10th. I stopped having pain from the wound and wound treatments so stopped the Tramadol. I noticed I became very anxious, depressed, and emotional so I have been taking the Tramadol to feel better. This has gone on for the last two weeks. I decided today I have to stop taking the Tramadol, but once again I am having these ugly feelings and can't stand it.
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 m tn 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.
Avatar n tn i was in a car accident about 1 year ago my lower back has been hurting ever since then. i go to my family doctor and he gives me tramadol for pain i go back and tell him that it gives me nightmars and makes me depressed and ask if he can give me anything else and he sais no because if tramadol does that then vicoden and percocet will do it also but iv taken vicoden and percocet before.
Avatar f tn Yea I was once there with oxycodon and taking about the same dose. I went from that to norco to tramodol and to a low dose of tramadol which if ur strong enough it possible to stop. I should've and I could've but I didn't 2 years later I'm still on norco due to my back surgery but I ve been wanting to stop for a while but I think if I would've been stronger it would've helped me stop.
Avatar f tn Tramadol and oxycodone belong to the narcotic analgesic group and are given for severe fibromyalgia. Narcotic analgesics block the transmission of pain signals by binding to the opioid receptors in the central nervous system. The actions in the central nervous system are also responsible for side effects such as sedation, respiratory depression and intoxication. Using narcotic analgesics for a long time increases the risk of dependence. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn how much were you taking a day
Avatar m tn I wanted off, I tryed the cold turkey forget that. I wiened down to 2 a day in 2 months, The got some oxycodone and wiened down to 2 a day, Then got some hydrocodone and wiened down to 2 a day.

Avatar f tn Prior to a couple of days ago, she was on 2 Tramadol a day (one in morning and one in evening), however now she was advised to take one Tramadol in the morning and 1 Oxycodone in the evening (I assume to assist with the Tramadol weaning process). This has happened the last two days, however, today about an hour after the Tramadol in the morning, she is having severe difficulties speaking. She has a really serious stutter which is obviously causing us some concern.
Avatar f tn I must delete what I wrote to you before...... I had read the article before. I live in Belgium; and they can't help here....so, I went to London, England and no help there, Holland...... Israel..... My only chance would be USA. I have been prescribed most of the medications in the list and mistrust them all now.... I check out every medication now by the internet....Unfortunately, most of these meds don't notify as side effect TD. Impressive, huh?
Avatar f tn If you are having them and taking tramadol, you need to get medical attention. How many do you take a day? Are you getting them from your doctor? If so, get in to see him tomorrow if you can. Tramadol is dangerous and hard to get off of. I got off of them over a year ago, and I would rather ingest poison than a tramadol right now! That is how bad I hate them! They're evil!
1264863 tn?1391118193 Yes started by taking 1 1/2 less Oxycodone a day. I'm on day 3 and feeling good and bad off and on. MUCH better now than day 1.
Avatar m tn I was taking 6 ultrams in morning just to feel normal and then oxycodone sometimes 6 a day. I am so tired of being a slave to these drugs. I want to stop them altogether but don't know how to go about it. I am a single mother of two children and really have no help with taking care of them. My ex husband is a real jerk that is why I am not with him anymore.I also think he is the main reason for my addiction as he was abusive to me all of the time that I was with him.
1264863 tn?1391118193 Welcome to the forum and congratulations on starting your taper! Best of luck to you!
Avatar m tn s addicted to them and adderall. Anyways it is torture to love someone and live with them and be ignored, I am self medicating myself to dull the pain. I know i don't have a chance with her and my friends tell me there are other girls out there but I can't leave her, plus i feel responsible to make sure she and kids have a roof and food to eat. I haven't had sex in 7 months also and I am at my wits end about that too.
19584740 tn?1480461973 My mom recently had renal failure so is now on diyalisis but is in severe pain due to her lumbar problem there giving her tramadol instead of the oxycodone 30mg the blue ones and is in alot of pain I feel helpless but is it bad if she would take the oxys?
Avatar f tn What are ur thoughts out there about oxycodone and the other oxy. I know one is time released and one is short acting. Will i fall into the same kind of medication withdrawal from the oxy family as i did with the fentanyl? I know there will be a time when i will get off my medication after surgery hopfully, but dont want to go thru that scary withdrawal like with fentanyl. I dont want to go back on methadone due to the lathargic feeling and my mind was so foggy all the time.
459155 tn?1264008142 My DOC is tramadol no its not a good idea , tramadol is hell to come off of ....
Avatar f tn Oh and tramadol is an opiod analgesic, chemically very similar to oxycodone.
5639849 tn?1372346883 Many people have become addicted, and the w/ds are bad, some say worse than opiates like hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc. Many states have made tramadol a scheduled narcotic, and many more are following suit. They also have an antidepressant property (they effect the neurotransmitter GABA) which can make the emotional aspect of w/d even more severe. If you have pain that needs addressed, I would ask for alternatives, IMO.
Avatar f tn please i need your help to tell me what i can do to overcome the withdrawl effect of tramadol abuse ?do you know any drug or anything i can replase to overcome that?i heared about wiiesmann method but i want to know what is it?
Avatar f tn I am stopping the methadone after today and using just the tramadol and will do a taper on that as well to get myself off of it asap.
