Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn So i went to my Doc and told him what was going on and asked him if there is anything out there not addicting and he told me Tramadol is not. I was on Tramadol for 7-8 months and they did not do as well for pain as the Vicodin did also felt very detached from everything. Of course i ran out one day with the Tramadol and was now up to 6tabs. daily. I went in severe whithdrawl could not sleep stay warm keep warm and the shakes. Went to the clinic my Doc was out and talked to someone else.
Avatar n tn but it only took 4 days before I was taking again. I am only up to 2 vicodin and 1 tramadol a day right now. I want to stop it all together but I do not know what to do. They gave me Ativan there and it seemed to work for me. All I did was sleep a lot. I did not feel the flu like symptons. I have ordered Ativan online so I can do this myself at home. What I need to know is what dose should I take. Can anyone help me out?
Avatar m tn Thanks for the responses guys. I started using the tramadol the day after running out of Dilaudid. I would normally feel a little uncomfortable after using Vicodin 7.5's, running out, and then using the Tramadol. After a couple of days, however, I always felt like I would be fine with just the Tramadol. Of course, when I would get access to the Vikes, I would just justify it and say that I have the Tramadol when I run out so why not just use them and feel a little better.
Avatar n tn I know of many people that are prescribed Vicodin (Hydrocodone) and Ultram (Tramadol) together with the Vicodin prescribed for breakthrough pain. However, as Sandee and Molly stated, you should call your doctor before taking these medications at the same time if they were not prescribed to you that way. The potency of the two medications may be too strong for you or may contradict any other medical conditions you may have. Feel Better.
464393 tn?1206755395 Because tramadol effects the reuptake of nuerological chemicals, taking your first dose of opoids to be tramadol should help to reduce the depressionary effects of withdrawing from tramadol. Vicodin has many of the narcotic properties of tramadol and is a suitable substitute. 2. After 2 weeks of doing this, use only vicodin for all opoid doses. The following week, reduce your opoid dose by 20 percent, then the next week another 20 percent and so on.
Avatar m tn As some of you know I'm an addicted to Xanax and I'm working in my tapering off of this benzo, but I had also taked as prescribed, Vicodin 5/500mg and Tramadol 50mg for over a year. I don't think that I am addicted to these opiates psychologically, never took more than prescribed the Tramadol( twice daily) and the Vicodin when I had migraine-which happened to be 3 or 4 times a week, yes.
Avatar m tn Since I started to wean off my Xanax addiction I quit taking the Vicodin and Tramadol, except for 1 day had bad migraine and none Imitrex pills, my insurance only covers 9 pills and paying them is more than 200 dollars. The point is that I do not feel side effects or W/D effects from quitting the Vicodin and Tramadol. It this possible? I didn't even knew Tramadol was an opiate until I joined this community.
469210 tn?1219188128 In rare cases, high levels of serotonin in the brain may cause severe complications like seizures, stroke, and even death. If venlafaxine and tramadol are used together, your doctor may want to closely monitor you for side effects. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible. This interaction is poorly documented and is considered major in severity.

Avatar n tn Yeah the stupity of doctors never ceases to amaze me. I told my doctor I was hooked on the vicodin and he gave me tramadol instead and told me to take as much as needed as long as I don't abuse the vicodin. I finished like 120 pills in like two weeks so I wouldn't go back to Vic's. When I ran out of them I saw he'll on earth. Just started breaking down mentally and emotionally. Had to go the hospital the second night if WD, all my vitals were good but my mind was a mess.
Avatar f tn That been said you are taking buprenorphine which is used to treat narcotic or opioid addiction. And using tramadol together with buprenorphine may increase your risk of seizures. If you absolutely have to take it there must be a dosage reduction in your buprenorphine medication and the tramadol dosage has to be smallest dosage possible.
Avatar f tn please talk to your doctor right away. do not replace vicodin for the tramadol. your doctor will give you a safe taper plan. you can not go cold turkey while pregnant it is dangerous.
Avatar f tn 2 weeks ago I had steroidal injections in my pelvis and asked for something stronger because the tramadol wasnt working. I only take the vicodin at night, but it doesnt get rid of the pain. I tried a few times to not take it, but when I dont I get very restless and get a bad headache. When I take it the heafache goes away within 10 to 20 mins and the restlessness goes awau too. I dont want to take pills all the time, I already have a bad liver from a previous surgery.
Avatar f tn Tramadol is a syntheitc opiate. You probably will not feel ANY withdrawals when you stop taking vicodin and swtich to Tramadol. It fills your opiate receptors in your brain just like vicodin. You won't go thru withdrawals because you are essentially continuing to take opiates. Tramadol is more addictive and the withdrawals are worse. In my opinion, stop while you're ahead. Do not take tramadol, and stop taking vicodin.
Avatar m tn My wife has been having serious headaches lately and the doctor prescribed her Tramadol. Can anyone tell me if Tramadol makes you high like Vicodin? I do not want my wife taking it if it does. She seems to have taken a liking to Vicodin. Once I got my addiction under control, its as if she wanted to start vicodin on a regular basis. I can't explain why, I just know that she seems to have like it and that is why she has asked the doctor for a non narcotic.
Avatar f tn tramadol is a non-narcotic pain reliever and you can only take up to 350mg a day otherwise if you take more it is just disposed of in your liver and is wasted....tramadol covered mostly all the WD symptoms for me and i took it for about a week and a half straight and i didnt have any trouble leaving them cold turkey. now it does different from person to person on how much it takes them to get addicted but its worth a shot...
Avatar n tn i also have not had any typical withdrawl symptoms from stopping the vicodin. i have degeneration of my t3 and t4 vertebre and spinal rotation and of course subluxation. i have had 2 diagnosises and both times the prognosis was long term chronic pain. 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?
Avatar f tn Please don't take Tramadol!!! I've been taking it for 6 months and can't get off. Before i started taking it, vicodin worked so great for my pain...now if I take a vicodin it does NOTHING for me because I take such a high dose of trams! with trams like most pain killers, you usually have to continue taking more and more to get it to keep working for you. Some people say it does nothing for their pain but it does help mine.
Avatar f tn Hey guys Peaches here, haven't posted in a LONG time but I have been really working on getting off the vicodin. I was weening myself felt kinda crappy for a couple of days about a week. I found myself back at the doc for more vicodin but I got tramadol. Its seems to last longer but it doesn't give the same effect so I just took two a day. I found two vicodin hidden away and I took them one day and they didn't do anything!! I felt achy and tired the whole day.
Avatar f tn m out of vicodin and then unleash all at once.
1200016 tn?1265307508 I am withdrawaling from Vicodin which is different. But from reading on here I have seen that you should not CT from Ultra/Tramadol. That can make you have seizures too. I am sure someone will be along soon with more info. Please do not just stop taking them all together just yet. Good Luck on your journey!
Avatar m tn SEVEN YEARS AGO I BROKE MY HAND AT WORK AND WAS PRESCRIBED VICODIN 5/500 FOR THE PAIN. WELL THE REST AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY. I STAYED ON VICODIN UNTIL A SHOULDER INJURY REQUIRED SURGERY ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AND AT THAT TIME I WAS PLACED ON A HIGH DOSE OF PERCOCET BY MY DOCTOR. I STRUGGLED WITH THIS ADDICTION.....ORDERING IT OFF THE INTERNET, DR. HOPPING, ECT. UNTIL I FOUND IT HARDER AND HARDER TO GET OFF THIS MEDICTION. SO I MENTIONED MY PROBLEM TO MY ORTHOPEDIC DR.
Avatar m tn I was taking 60-80mg of hydrocodone a day during that month and a half period. Would taking Vicodin weaken my body and prolong the withdrawal process from Zoloft?
1305522 tn?1273170802 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.
Avatar n tn I've taken both Vicodin and Tramadol, it depends on your level of pain. Tramadol was working pretty well for me until I ended up having a reaction to it and had to stop. I was getting dilated eyes from the medication and the doctor had to put me back on vicodin. So, it's definitely worth a try, I wouldn't automatically not try it, some people do very well with it.
Avatar m tn ... thought I'd ask here... I had a Vasectomy early October and was given Vicodin for the pain... Well, I pulled a muscle in my back earlier and went to the quickie clinic and the Doctor gave me a muscle relaxer and suggested some Vicodin as well - but it's addictive and has "street value" she said... After telling her I wasn't going to sell it on the street she wrote the prescription.
Avatar f tn t know if it will help you, but that is what I did. I switched over to Vicodin, Tapered down on the Vicodin for a week and then stopped 2 days ago. I'm not doing too bad considering. The Sleep is the hardest thing right now.
Avatar m tn I was only on Zoloft for a month. I stopped cold turkey because I didn't like how they suppressed my real emotions. It wasn't a problem stopping cold turkey for me. I'm only temporarily using Tramadol to help with my Vicodin withdrawal because I stopped it cold turkey and I'm having very uncomfortable chills as a result and the tramadol is helping a lot. I'm only going to be using Tramadol for a few more days until my body recovers from not having any Vicodin.
