Common Questions and Answers about Tramadol vs methadone

ultracet

Avatar n tn On Thur I took 15MG of Roxi and then on Friday I took 10MG of Methadone. Since I am still in pain but it is fading I have been taking 100MG-125MG of Tramadol a day. I really havent felt any Withdraws from the Opiates except last night or day 3 had some sleep issues, and then of course the stomach issues. I also have the mental issues which are lack of motivation/depression but nothing like what real Opiate WD's are.
Avatar m tn It is easier to get off Vicodin than ultram (aka tramadol) because tram is synthetic and contains an antidepressant. Like sub and methadone, also synthetic, the withdrawal is long and arduous. Vicodin is the weaker of the narcotic pain meds and detox, although not fun, is over relatively quick. 1 to 2 weeks tops. Tram w/d lasts for months.
Avatar n tn If Tramadol is an opiate, and so is methadone, why would taking both of them together send you into withdrawls? I know that you can take methadone and vicoden's together and be fine, for that matter you can take methadone and heroin and be fine. Is Tramadol supposded to be like Naloxone?

216046 tn?1193943404 My question is, has anyone heard of lyrica causing withdrawal symptoms when taken w/methadone? I was given Tramadol(Ultram) w/ methadone and thought I was going to die with the interaction it caused!!!
403399 tn?1201833095 The only reason why Tramadol (Ultracet, Ultram, etc.) is not considered a narcotic is because at the moment it is unscheduled in the USA and pretty much everywhere else. It is fairly new being researched and first put on the market in the 90's.
541465 tn?1219427886 HI, I normally take 120 mgs of methadone daily ( been clean off opiates or over 6 months now), take 2mgs of Klonopins daily, and 50 to 100mgs of phenergan (promethazine or promethazine hyrochloride, ) , AND 0.2 mgs of Chlonodine a day,. . . . .AND, 200mgs oF seroquel ( but only used for sleep. Im prescribed all the meds so this pill i found which i knew was a Tramadol/Ultram 50 mgs. Is that safe? The only interaction that i am worried about is the methadone.
Avatar f tn Geesha, what about cyclobenzapine? And what does methadone have to do with tramadol? Methadone treats addiction problems. I'm on bupenerophine, which is kind of like methadone but supposed to be better.
Avatar f tn please can u explain to me if it is safe to take tramadol for methadone withdraws? Try7ing to detox from 20mg methadone!
605114 tn?1252108396 thanks all. i still feel yuk, didn't sleep more than an hour at a time through the night. and my muscles are weak, they feel like ants have hollowed them out. To Pan- why is tramadol similar to methadone? my methadone doctor kind of pfff-ed them, like oh tramadol, they are nothing, they don't even rate. Surely the methadone would still have left my system though? taking tramms didnt put a big stopper in the methadone exiting process?
Avatar f tn Ok- I just learned that my mother who is diagnosed with hep c, end stage renal disease, receives dialysis 3x a week and is a methadone patient (100mg per day) has abused lortabs, tramadol, darvocet and flexirils (approx consumed 70+pills in one month) and eats phengran like candy..... Her nephrologist doesn't seem concerned- she had 14yrs of soberity that lead to a relapse after hystercotomy in which she started the methodone- 11years later all this has occured.
Avatar f tn I have been trying to take methadone to stop using tramadol does anyone know if this will work? I was taking 1400mg of tramadol a day.
Avatar f tn I think the tramadol will be next to useless when on methadone. Your current methadone dose will almost certainly block or severely limit the efficacy of a dose of tramadol. When i was on the methadone they used to hand out 'Pain Cards' These were like medic alert bracelets that had important information regarding adequate pain relief for methadone dependant people.
217599 tn?1202850952 Does anyone in here know anything about tramadol? it was prescribed for me today along with flexeril for my back pain. i don't know anyuthing about them as norco was my DOC for many years and also methadone, both for the pain i am now treating with this new stuff. would like to know what the stuff is.
541465 tn?1219427886 m somewhat confused,the first thing that comes to mind is why on earth would you think about taking this pill you found(tramadol).if the methadone is helping you stay away from other opiates and keeping you out of trouble,stick with the program.i'm assuming you know that meth is an opiate,to take a tramadol while on meth really wont do a darn thing.meth is not a blocker like suboxone so any opiate you add to meth could enhance the effect of either but unlikely with tram.
Avatar f tn Can I take tramadol if I don't have any of my methadone for tomorrow I don't wanna feel like crap so I was wondering if I would go through withdraws if I took tramadol
1369723 tn?1278305590 t think there is any reason that a person should take methadone to get off of Tramadol....especially if the methadone is making him so sick. Is it possible for you to get another doctor's opinion? Why did a doctor prescribe Tramadol for your son in the first place. That's important to know! I have a 28 year old, so I can imagine the pain and frustration you must be going through! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.
Avatar m tn Thank you for your thoughtful response to my question. I'm so glad that I discovered this web site in the first place (only 2 weeks ago) and really glad that I was able to find out about Tramadol. I asked my pharmacist about this drug and she indicated it was safe for an addict to take. Then there is the doctor who prescibed them. He said he would only give me Tramadol because of my substance abuse issues.
Avatar f tn there is a section on this site just for tramadol that could help.Also if you post a new question about your methadone problem others will answer that know alot more than I do.With more info you won't have to go through what I am still going through from the exact same situation.The suffering I have been through from handling this the wrong way well I won't give details but its something I would not wish on anyone.
Avatar f tn Hi- It's going to take a while for your energy to return; probably a few months realistically. You can't rush it but you can help it along... You have to move. You just can't stay on the sofa thinking that rush of energy is going to tap you on the shoulder lol because it's not! You have to go after it so make a schedule and put it in to practice. Your diet will make a huge difference along with vitamins and minerals and amino acids. Do you walk?
Avatar f tn I am still so shocked that you went onto methadone from taking tramadol. Myself and others I know, when speaking of tramadol, usaully a nasty face appears and people laugh.
