tramadol and ulcers

i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal. i am worried that the tramadol and ibuprofen could damage my liver. i only take 7.5-750mg vicodin. wouldnt it be better to just take the vicodin again?

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.

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.

The problem with getting pain medication though, is that I have quite a history of gastrointestinal issues including stomach ulcers, acid reflux, and IBS. My gastroenterologist strictly advised against taking any OTC pain medicine but acetaminophen such as found in tylenol or aspirin-free excedrin, or else risk more stomach ulcers or stomach pain. But the problem with that is, that stuff doesn't work for me; it's like it's too weak.

due to a number of ulcers, and my face, specifically around the chin area, are covered in what I initially thought to be a hormonal acne breakout (something which I'd never experienced before), but have come to look more like sores. Has anyone else experienced herpes in this way? I've applied raw shea butter to the areas on my face and am taking valacyclovir and tramadol as of today and am getting bloodwork back on Friday.

I have been on Tramadol for chronic pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis for 2 years. And I did take it while I was on treatment. Tramadol helped me tremendously with my aggitation from treatment also. I do know several other people that have claimed the same. It has an affect on the seratonins in the brain. People very seldom get addicted, it's not like taking an opiate. I personally am a fan of Tramadol. Mouse P.S. I'm able to get by with just on 50mg tab every couple of days.

OnOxys - I answered your PM, hope it helps Hobo91 - hi mate, Nurofen Plus are an over the counter thing that have codeine 12.8mg and ibuprofen 200mg. The amount of codeine is small and so as addcition progresses, and one has to take more and more to get the codeine buzz, one also ends up taking heaps of ibuprofen, which does shocking things to stomach, kidneys etc.

no drug is without SEVERE side-effects. aspirin can and DOES cause ulcers....tylenol can and DOES cause liver damage....tricyclics can and DO cause tardive dyskensia...it isn't candy. my theory is that every medicine you get from anywhere...even some otc nutraceuticals can cause problems. this is why you read the info you get with the med....ask the pharmacist questions...ask the doctor questions...and then do your own research. in most cases, meds work without many problems.

When was the last time you used Tramadol?

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.

I began with these vaginal ulcers when I was 13 --so an STD it was not. These would start as bumps on the vulva inside wall, the bump would then turn into an ulcer. I knew what it was because I suffered from apthous ulcers in my mouth from the time I was 8. Now having them appear around the vagina put me in a panic. I knew these Ulcers took 2 weeks to run their course and there is NOTHING you can do or take that will stop this once the Ulcer appears. All you can do is treat the symptoms.

I have tried the Vicodin of various strengths, Ultram ( Tramadol) and over the counter meds. Tramadol works well but gives me horrible headaches also. Vicodin I can't take at work for obviuos reasons.

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?

Absolutely bad. As I understand it, sub if taken with opiates (and Tramadol is a synthetic opiate) will through you into full blown withdrawals.

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.

I have had several back surgeries and had gotten addicted to pain medication was at my sergion recently for pain and I asked for non- narcotic he said have we evr tried tramadol, I said no but did you look at the other meds I am taking. I currently take toredal and also prozac for bipolar diesease.

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.

Hello all You all posses an amazing amount of knowledge so I figured this would be the place to ask about this to... For the last 10 yeras I have been taking Treo (aspirin combined with caffeine - 500 mg aspirin - 50 mg caffeine) - over the years I have taken a little more and a little more.. the result being that until the day before yesterday I was taking 4 in the morning, 4 in the afternoon and 4 before sleepy time.

lesa May 26, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday that it has added a warning of suicide risk to the labels of tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram) and tramadol hydrochloride/acetaminophen (Ultracet).

He has also reccommended coming off tramadol, and to see my doctor to get a prescription with stronger painkillers like co codamol and diclofenac so I am not jumping from a strong painkiller like tramadol to paracetemols as it would be difficult to cope with the pain!! You say your back pain is still requiring painkillers even 5 weeks on? Do you think it is operation recovery pain or the old pain still there?

s together and be fine, for that matter you can take methadone and heroin and be fine. Is Tramadol supposded to be like Naloxone?

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.

Last week I did not take tramadol at all and began to feel achy all over and tired. I took the pill. Yesterday, I took no tramadol again and had all the symptoms I see described here--restless all over, unable to sleep, achy, etc. I took a tramadol this morning and the symptoms went away. My question: what is best here? Stop both of them? Stop the Tramadol and continue the percocet for a week(1 pill a night) and then stop the percocet? Stop both together?
