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 m tn Well thats what I was worried about, its crazy how casual or naive doctors are about tramadol. Thanks for the info avisg Im going to take your advice and try to keep it under a week. I would much rather have the pain then go through any degree of w/d's. If I run into any problems I'll be back to bug you...lol...talk to ya later.
Avatar f tn For sure. Cats are at least 10 times smaller than a SMALL adult human female. What is given to us is too much for such a small animal. For example: The amount of Zyrtec I was told to give to Akira is only 1/4 of the adult human dosage. This is much smaller than the children's dosage, which is 1/2 of the adult human dosage. I would never ever give medications to Akira without her first seeing her doctor. I do know that no one should ever give Tylenol to their pets.
3110545 tn?1343308648 Hero you shouldn't just quit Tramadol CT. You need to taper down in order to reduce the problems seizures. This is probably why your doctor told you you need t be on Tramadol for another month. Please talk to your doctor before trying CT on this drug. Ther are people on this forum that have experience with quitting Tramadol and one should come along soon. BTW you stated you were taking 4 tablets a day, what was the dosage of these pills?
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.
199177 tn?1490498534 I have seen alot of info latley on tramadol some every incorrect .So I thought I would put some infromation together so everyone will have a better understanding of it . It is addicting You do have ephoria It should NOT be used by ANYONE with addiction issues. What is the most important information I should know about tramadol? Physical Dependence and Abuse ULTRAM may induce psychic and physical dependence of the morphine-type (μ-opioid) (see DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE).
Avatar n tn Metabolism: Tramadol is extensively metabolized after oral administration. Approximately 30% of the dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug, whereas 60% of the dose is excreted as metabolites. The remainder is excreted either as unidentified or an unextractable metabolites. The major metabolic pathways appear to be N- and O-demethylation and glucuronidation or sulfation in the liver. Only the one metabolite (mono-O-desmethyltramadol denoted M1) is pharmacologically active.
Avatar m tn t found any info stating that people can have siezures if they stop tramadol abruptly. I know of many drugs, including tramadol, that can cause seizures from taking too much. I also know many drugs, including alcohol, barbiturates, benzos, etc. that will cause seizures if taken off too abruptly. But not tramadol. I'm not trying to contradict you, I just want to find this info so I feel comfortable sharing it with my patients.

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 m tn I have taken tramadol but never for an extended amount of time, i would usually take it when my hydros were low....i did not get high off of it but i was a seasoned narcotic user by then...i do think it made my feet feel funny and my skin kinda crawly tho....and I have taken it without the hydros off and on over the years but never abused it..and i do think even at small doses i felt strange...not really high...hard to explain...anyway...bad drug from what i hear....
Avatar f tn Forgot to say there are pages here giving info on tramadol you could try looking there for lots more info and peoples personal experience of tramadol x

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 m tn I thought I was being good by taking Tramadol because it is non-narcotic. I was up to about 200 mg three times a day for back pain from an old car wreck. Three days ago I had a seizure and stopped breathing. My poor husband had to give me cpr, and my sweet 10 year old boy saw it all. I am so ashamed. I was taken by ambulance to ER. Got the CAT scan and EEG. have an appt. with a Neurologist in TWO WEEKS (you know how long it takes.) Meanwhile, I am in lotsa pain.
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 f tn I have been taking tramadol for several months. I'm trying to wean off them at home and I need help with how. Been taking up to 6 a day but have been able to cut to three, one in morning,afternoon and evening. How long should I do this before decreasing. I have a family to take care of so I can't be totally incapacitated for more than a couple days. Help please.
796687 tn?1237333243 After awhile Doctor suggested Tramadol...it was not as addictive as hydrocodone, etc. Continued on with both Lorozapam and hydrocodine untill about 6 months ago when the doctor suggested Cymbalta for the depression and took me off Tramadol. Don't remember a problem getting over the Tramadol that time because I think Cymbalta took up the slack. Used Cymbalta 30mg them 60mg for about 5 months and asked the Doctor to get me of of it.
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.
