Avatar f tn ve read on holistic info sites that BUPRENORPHINE is the best and SAFEST pain med for cats....I know thats the one my Vet uses too. Is this for long term use?
Avatar n tn Tramadol is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal pain killer. Most reports indicate that it is less likely to cause the nausea and other side effects that can result from extended use narcotic and NSAID pain killers. Since you cat has chronic pain (arthritis), it is probably a better choice for longer term, low dosage use. No drug is completely safe or without potential side effects. But given the particulars about your cat, tramadol seems to be a good choice with a good balance of effectiveness vs.
Avatar n tn i have a dog who is on Tramadol 50 mg but i have a cat who sprained his paw can i give him one
Avatar f tn http://www.1800petmeds.com/Tramadol-prod11064.html I personally don't think it worth taking so it probably would be more desired by a pet. No really it is a pain reliever for temporary relief of back pain sprains bruises etc.. The best advise I can give is take OC (over the counter) pain relievers, they have a better chance of getting rid of your temporary pain, and no addiction. Go for the fastest, safest pain relief.
Avatar f tn I have some tramadol can cats take that? Is there any over the counter pain meds? Aspirin?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it takes to detox from tramadol? I've been taking it for about a month. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? Any info would be helpful! Thanks.
Avatar n tn I am tapering off of Tramadol (350mg per day) and was wondering if I "delay" my dosage as long as possible will it cause any issues? I am cutting down by 1 pill per week as on my other post, but if I delay my morning 50mg pill from 7am to 10am (if tolerable) will this help me get off this devil drug faster? (I am currently on 350mg per day and have been taking for 6 weeks total) In other words..... the less I take during the day as tolerated, the quicker I get off of it?
Avatar f tn Tramadol may cause life-threatening addiction and withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.
323551 tn?1255174750 for maybe 60~90 days (or close enough) and can testify that their anxiety levels eventually went back down to their pre-tramadol usage days? I've had anxiety issues prior to taking Tramadol but wanting to know if I'll at least get back to where I was before tramadol, those anxious ridden days that now all of a sudden don't look that bad compared to whats been going on recently. I'm down to less than 2 tabs a day now for about 3weeks(?
Avatar f tn Determining a dosage of tramadol for dogs is an exercise in futility. As with people, if the dog has a history of seizures it is important to let your vet know this, and they will likely tell you about alternatives. While the dosage amounts vary from dog to dog, the tramadol dosage for dogs can be put into effect by using the dog’s weight as the determinant. The usual range is .5 - 1.8mg per pound.
Avatar n tn Hi. Does anyone know what the "jumping off point" would be for Tramadol dosage to avoid wd's? Example: 3 of the 50mg per day for a week or so and then stop everything? This would NOT be for long term usage, but rather a post surgery 3 week usage. The person has a long history of Opiate abuse and was prescribed Norco for over a month. Then they went to Tramadol for 2 weeks at 7 of the 50mg per day for a week and now 3 per day for the last week.
Avatar m tn I take 2 50 mg Tramadol daily and have been for 4 yrs for my lower back and knees. I'd advise taking Metamucil and eat foods with plenty of fiber if you plan to take Tramadol for long periods. Now there are days I skip taking Tramadol and just take a rapid release Tylenol which gets me through days I'm not hurting as much.
1178983 tn?1279663655 Taking an opiate for an extended period of time usually results in some level of dependence and abrupt discontinuation of the medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms resulting in a failed attempt at discontinuation. The maximum daily dosage of Tramadol in a 24 hour period is 400mg and as such your dosage is not usually associated with long term effects due to being below the maximum recommended daily dosage.
Avatar m tn ve called every treatment center in my area that treats opiod dependence with suboxone. When I say I need treatment for tramadol dependecy they tell me tramadol is not an opiate and they don't treat for it. I reallu need to find some help. I've been tapering off but I know I'm gonna need some extra help. Does anyone know if there is another route I can go to get suboxone?
Avatar n tn can i get high by using tramadol wich means if i take enough of it will i get a good feeling.
Avatar m tn But you can easily move to the 50mg dosage of the regular (short acting)Tramadol...and go to the 50mg for a few days or a week....then split it in half for a few days or a week...then 1/4s...then none. Of course doing all of this with your Drs. knowledge and help. But if it's not helping you at all, then yes, there is no sense taking a medication.

Answer - Ultram (Tramadol) Withdrawal Tramadol is highly addictive. Normally your doctor would reduce intake slowly. Various withdrawal effects may include shakes, shivers, diarrhea, nausea, and possible flu-like symptoms. Not all people experience will all withdrawal symptoms, and some people may experience others not listed here.
Avatar f tn I have Fibromialga and been in alot of car wrecks and I have a horrible back. They have me on tramadol and 12 hydrocodone a month. I'm 6 weeks along. The nurse told me to keep taking them so I can work.
Avatar f tn My decrease in dosage of Effexor over the last year was being compensated by the T. I have reduced my dosage of Tramadol down to 150 mg daily now and I am experiencing severe depression. I know that this forum is not for psychological drugs but the fact that Tramadol acts as an antidepressant has me very concerned. The doctor just cut me off a few months ago, and I am currently getting my Tramadol on-line. I hate this drug in my life.
Avatar n tn I know we had a Shepard and Husky mix on them for a few years before he died. Our vet recommended them as pain relievers. He had the dog on 8 pills a day, 4 in morning,4 at night. I know the amount startled me too but in dogs, thhey go by weight of the dog, different than people. Our dog had that hip displshia at 5yrs old and had bad joints since the operation. Our vet said safe for dogs. People, no. 8 is too much.
Avatar n tn I am almost absolutely sure Frontline is the same ingredients for dogs and cats, and the only different thing would be the dosage for the size of the dog or cat. (Not all flea treatments are, but I think Frontline is) Please do call your vet and verify this though.
1474611 tn?1416632958 Another thing to consider is making sure the dosage was correct. Often they are weight dosed, even for cats, which also are kitten vs. adult cat dosed. If the dosage was too much, that could have caused irritation. Lastly, if the medication was a "cheap" product like Hertz and similar...these products often have other ingredients that tend to be irritants. Also, they often aren't that effective (from what I've seen from clients who have tried them).
Avatar f tn I have been taking tramadol for about 2 years now and have increased my dosage to about 3 pills, four times a day. I know I am without addicted to this "non habit forming drug". While I'm not all kinds of messed up from these pills, they give me a good sense of well being as well as help with my neck pain. I've been reading that withdrawal is pretty brutal, even worse than "real" opiates due to the precision of the drug on neurotransmitters.
Avatar f tn good morning all, dont know if many of you were on yesterday when i was inquiring about taking tramadol to cope with oxy wd...i took the tram...50mgs and i will say it surely ddi not get me high my legs and stomach were really bad last night but this morning im okay.....
Avatar m tn Then I was prescribed Lyrica but that was giving me crazy side effects. Recently started taking tramadol which got rid of the crazy side effects but now I worry about the addiction/withdrawals for the future. I deal with a certain amount of pain daily and have limited myself to 2 tramdol for the night and one for the day to keep from doing the high dosage thing (hence the certain amount of pain thing).
