tramadol and oxycontin together

Hi, I take Tramadol for my chronic back pain. Initially my pain Dr. did not want to prescribe Tramadol for me since I take Effexor for depression. But after taking so many pain meds, and needing to try a new one, he agreed to let me try Tramadol slowly. The Tramadol has worked well for me, and luckily I didn't have any problems with the combination of drugs. Actually the Tramadol has really helped my mood ( I think because of the snri). So I have started to taper off the Effexor.

This very old thread is about Tramadol and Lyrica. I almost didn't see your comment - and doubt others will see it at all. If you wish to make a comment to be seen on the web when searched - and to be seen by our members please start your own thread. Click on "Ask a Question" it's simple to do. As for your comment, there are variables and this subject needs much more than a one-liner. It's complex.

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.

I forgot to mention how much Tramadol I was taking. I was prescribed four a day. They were 100mg tablets. I believe they are extended release. The most I took in one day in the past week was three. That's when the headache got worse and I put two and two together and realized that the Tramadol and migraine seemed to be related.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on starting your taper! Best of luck to you!

Usually the withdrawals are shorter and milder then a drug like Oxycontin. But still can cause dependency and in high levels even seizures.

m prescribed Tramadol, Clonidine, Mirtazapine, and Lorazepam. I doing very good and have no depression and much less anxiety. (Turns out Lorazepam actually is more effective on me than Klonopin, weird). But has anyone one else had a similar experience? (I understand people have other views/opinions on the use of Tramadol for depression, but please don't post just to tell me I shouldn't be on it.). I am just really interested to see if anyone else out there has a similar story.

I was once given tramadol and cocodamol together in hospital, and take them together regularly now. However, the tramadol must NOT be the type which is combined with paracetamol, as then you would be overdosingon paracetamol. What you don't say is what strengths you are talking about. I take cocodamol 30mg two tablets, which is extremely strong. There are cocodamol mixtures with less codeine phosphate in them. Personally I take the strong version and add in one 50mg Tramadol.

Coming off tram is like coming off a pain med and an ssri anti depressant together it causes deep depression takes longer to get your sleep pattern back and talk about panic attacks I would have some in my sleep that would wake me feeling like I could not breath plz dont fill it ..

Hi again. I noticed your post about oxycontin. That's another med I'm on that I want to get off, as with all the other meds I'm on, as none are working any more for what they were prescribed for in the first place. I have to deal with tramadol withdrawal first though. Anyway, I'm on 20mg oxycontin morning, and 30mg afternoon, plus oxycodone 5-10mg for breakthrough pain.

I had quit an oxycontin addiction of over 5 years only to be prescribed Tramadol - my doc. even knows about my oxycontin addiction. However, I have heard some horror stories about Tramadol as well, about its dependencies and withdrawal problems. The thing is - I do have legitimate muscle/bone pain that needs to be treated in some fashion. I guess I'm just worried that taking Tramadol will become addictive and just another monkey to get off my back. Please help me figure this out.

maybe tapper down to percocet (5mg oxycodone) and then down to tramadol and klonopin ...clonodine def good idea too...goodluck!

Taking methadone and Vicodin together or taking methadone and heroin together is not "fine". Not sure where you got that information or why you're asking?

I am not a doctor and you should consult a doctor before taking my or anyones advice of medication and WD processes because everyone is different. I am at day 7 of WD's and my method worked great with MINIMAL WD symptoms. I Still feeling a few but its very tolerable and can be dealt with easily. I have experienced very very horrible WD's in the past and came up with my own method of stopping.

I am currently addicted to Oxycontin and have been for a year. I'm trying to get off them but do not want to go through the terrible withdrawal symptoms. I know what it's like because I've gone a day without oxy's, but just found some the next day and got back on them. The worst part is the back pain. It feels like my back is rotting off. My knees ache. My neck throbs. There's no hope for sleeping without them.

it is twice a day, i take for depression and hope to help on stop smoking and lossing weight and the Tramadol(not prescribed for me) 50mg taking for pain and hope weight loss. I do not even know if it is safe. buuuuuuuut anywaay. funny you are sunny66, I am mary66.......

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.

Six months ago I used Suboxone to get off a 640mg habit. Did real good until I hurt my back. I got real depressed with lots of pain and started to take them again. I'd like to get off and heard of tramadol helping. Suboxone withdrawal was awful for me. This site makes tramadol sound like a bad idea. Beginning to think I have to go away or go to rapid detox.

Since then I have had a 6 year history of taking tramadol (150mg sr x2 daily) Never abused It and I was always up front with my doctor. We had a excellent relationship, he actually cared and wanted to help me. Recently I have moved state and as a result, had to find a new gp. He has taken me off of tramadol( at my request) as I wasn't happy with the side effects. I couldn't perform my job properly. Hes got my on 5mg oxycontin twice daily.

Well I have tried to quit 3 times and failed. I can't help this overwelming sense that I'm throwing my life away. My wife is broken hearted because of my addiction. I was injured three years ago. And have been on oxycontin and percocet for three years. I have tried weaning down and I'm not good at it at all! I'm currently taking 6 10mg percocets and 1-2 20mg oxycontin a day.

Avisg, thanks for answering my question, but do you know if that is true both ways? Like, Ultram while on Sub, and Sub while on Ultram? No induction time? Believe me, if I had known the reason that Sub probably isn't good for Ultram, I think I would have tried tapering first. The problem is that I cannot afford the Sub doctor as it is, and I can't afford any more medication. What I have is Sub, and Tramadol, and I am really worried about having a seizure.

Yes, I have read the dangers of CT and Tramadol. avisg as well as some others have already posted to another of my threads and we all agreed that getting him down to at least 10 (or less) by the time we CT should be fine. Unfortunately, tapering just is not an option. I have tried three separate times to taper and each time his need outweighed the program and he got more pills.

I have to disagree, my DOC is oxycontin and I'm now on tramadol to control chronic pain. I do not get any high from it whatsoever. I get a more of a sense of calmness. I do agree that it is very addictive and hard to get off of.

twould be best to leave all narcotics alone...u r trying to shake this whole ball of wax so caving to trams is not the answer...have u talked to ur dr about a sedative or sumpin to help? trams do not follow the same pathway as other narcotics/nor sub/but advising u to use them when u r trying to get clean is just not in the vocabulary of most on this forum/as it is another addictive drug with its own set of problems..
