2486897 tn?1339684185 I took it for a year to help with some rectal pain that I now know was IBS all the time. I now take Bentyl for IBS it helps me. So I want off the tramadol ASAP. Will my doctor help me with this?
Avatar f tn Hi I have a calprotectin level of 338 , severe abdominal right sided pain that I’m on tramadol for and I’m now anaemic. Sometimes I get fouls smelling discharge along with constipation and impaction. Is this IBS ?
681148 tn?1437661591 m posting here, because I know that IBS is one of the symptoms common with CFS/FMS. The e.r. doctor prescribed Tramadol at 50 mg every 4-6 hours. It seems like 50 mg was too strong for me at one time and even made me nauseous. I have enough nausea without adding to it. I called my doctor's office and was told that I could cut the dose in half. The e.r.
Avatar f tn I have read before that if you stop taking Tramadol for a few days, then you will lose your tolerance for the drug and can start up again with good results. Does anyboy know anything about this?
Avatar f tn And when i have no percocet i take 50mgs of tramadol (Maybe100mgs) reason being i THINK i have Accute IBS of course they cant properly diagnose me while im pregnant nor treat me. Ive been to multiple ERs trying to find some kind of solution and NOTHING. The pain is so severe i feel like crawling up in a ball. Everyyyyyday non stop. Thats why i started taking the medication. On a visit to the ER for the same problems i tested positive for the Perks and thats how My OBGYN found out.

1069827 tn?1296650628 trazadone and tramadol is generic now. I believe you can get both from Walmart for 4 bucks. Just FYI. I would think docs would prescribe trazadone 100 times before they would prescibe xanax. Anyways, good luck in getting a new dr.
Avatar f tn The doctor gave me Tramadol for my endometriosis pain. I have a full week of almost intolerable pain every monthl. Tramadol is one of the few drugs I can tolerate with regards to nausea (Vicodin et al seem to just make me puke immediately), and it does actually manage to relieve my pain fully or at least 80-90% (when I mix it with Aleve). The problem is this. I have to admit that I enjoy the Tramadol. It makes me feel good. Of course it does -- it makes everyone feel good.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been taking tramadol for 3 months now for fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. It really helps a lot. The only thing is...I believe it is the cause of my constipation the last few months. I have had to use laxatives on and off. When I try to go without, I get to day number six and resort to the laxative due to feeling so uncomfortable. Do you think that the tramadol is the cause and can I keep taking laxatives for a long period?
Avatar m tn I've been having back pain recently which stems from something that I have had since I was a kid, although it seems to be getting worse as I get older. What will happen is that the pain will start in my back then move down my legs. Sometimes it hurts so bad that I can hardly walk. I've been to the doctors many times, but they can never pinpoint what is causing it. Anyway, the doctor recently prescribed Tramadol for the pain.
2117936 tn?1334693230 hello and welcome. did the doctor give you a taper plan? you cant stop tramadol cold turkey.it can cause seizures. some of the symptoms of withdrawal can be,anxiety,sweating insomnia, nausea, shakiness, diarrhea, brain zaps.
Avatar m tn ve been on it for much of your life so for me Tramadol helps with the little things while maintaining less abuse potential. Everyone is different and abstinence is not always the goal ahead of self care assisted by a drug similar to codeine v full agonist. Plus Tramadol assists to deal with the withdrawal and rehab elements using a far less load than the others for me.
Avatar m tn Have you tried to give up tramadol and had problems with the withdrawal or are you yet to try? How long have you been using tramadol for? I just tried giving it up for the first time yesterday. I took my last pill at 1 am on December 31st and had caved in 19 hours later.... I am thinking I need to taper but I just want to get this over and done with as soon as possible. We can get through this together!!!
Avatar f tn I was successfully addicted to tramadol for many years !!!! As IBK said tell us more tramadol can be just as addicting as other opiates. doctors are big on saying its not addictive but many of us found out the very hard way that was wrong ....
Avatar m tn t think the Tram Warriors on MedHelp that we hear from are those that were put on a short term, 5 day, controlled step down script for Tramadol. The potential for addictiion to Trams after being addicted to another opiate is VERY REAL. And we need to KNOW all we can on our new road to recovery....be aware of pitfalls and misnomers out there. Your situation seems to be different than most I've read on here. The use of this 5 day plan is NOT what many others on here are even talking about.
Avatar m tn Do not substitute Tramadol for hydros. Tramadol is extremely addictive and some here have said they are more difficult to withdrawal from than some other drugs. You can find many threads about the Tram withdrawals. I would just stay the course the way you are now. It will be difficult for awhile, but SO WORTH IT!!! Good luck and you are in my prayers!!!!
1130095 tn?1267369259 You may have to slowly taper however, but you need to get those doses down. I am not familiar with the Mebevrin. Is that for IBS? Have you shared with your employer that you have FMS? I am not sure what the laws are in your country, but we do have some disability laws here in the states.
Avatar f tn (10-15 a day). I have a script for 15-50mg tramadol. Should I use the tramadol to help ease the lortab comedown? Will it even help? Or should I go cold turkey? I've read other posts about tramadol, and don't know which way to go. I do know I want my life back, and I can't afford the down time of the painful withdrawls I get. Experienced advice would be greatly helpful.
Avatar f tn Tramadol works like an opiate pain pill. DO NOT take Tramadol as the withdrawal is very bad when you try to stop even after using it for a short time. With Subutex I think you are suppose to slowly reduce the amount you take until you can stop. There is no easy way out by replacing one pill with another, it just continues your addiction. NO Tramadol, don't do it even once. Do you have a Doctor that can help?
1019316 tn?1262615059 Hi everyone, I was prescribed tramadol for two weeks after minor surgery. When I ran out of my script of 30 I started to feel withdrawal symptoms (weird considering it is not supposed to be addictive yeah right). I took 2-3 80mg a day. Today was my second day off of them and I know the w/d can't last long. But the question I want to ask is, I found one of my tramadol today that was left on a dresser and took it. Will taking this tramadol post pone my withdrawal symptoms?
Avatar m tn Thank you for the reply jf you have any other suggestions on how to cope with tramadol withdrawals it would be greatly appreciated thanks again,
