Avatar m tn I hope this is in the correct thread; I tried to find a thread dedicated to just withdrawal from Tramadol but didn't find it. Please redirect me if I'm in the wrong place. I started Tramadol a year ago not realizing it was addictive.
Avatar m tn so thats prozac, tramadol and adhd stimulant...which brings me to my point.....i very quickly each hour of each day became extremely ill...extreme fatigue, vomiting, shortness of breath, dizzy, shakey, blurred vision....the list goes on...i called y dr several times to let them know and she switched me to prisqu (some sis to prozac) b/c she thought it might be b/c prozac...after getting worse and ER trip and worse docs kept blowing me off as i was just exasterbating my symtoms of side effects...
Avatar f tn I am currently taking 40mg prozac after over a 3 year addiction to tramadol and the occasional hydro.I haven't had any pain pills since Jan.7th and started the prozac the same time. My question, what other AD could I try that could help with motivation, energy. I just feel blah most of time. Its like I sit in a stooper most of the day and just do enough to get by. I've asked this before and some suggestion my AD needs changed. I have a dr. apt.
Avatar f tn I was addicted to Tramadol for 5 years and went off of it (tapering) and my last pill was Jan 28th. For those of you who have been successful with the recovery, how long did it take to feel "normal"? I still have no motivation and feel really depressed (am on antidepressants). I'm worried that I'll never feel right again. Please give me some advice. THanks for your time!
Avatar n tn t see any help with this medication? I have prozac but never took it, should I start to help with the depression? How long will the withdrawal actually go on?
Avatar m tn i don't even no where to begin....well, wanted to read through some more topics before joining BUT i just could not pass up this topic not even for one second...this is my first time on any forum and i'm not sure how comfortable i am posting information that may effect someone's treatment decision BUT...oh well...i am still emotially scarred and concerned for others soooo this is my story as related to tramadol ..
Avatar m tn I have been about 2 months clean from strong opiates (oxy and heroin) and about the same time off of prozac which i have been taking for 10 yrs. I have been experiencing bad anxiety and worry lately, the same as when i first came off opiates months ago. Could it be the lack of prozac or just the paws symptoms? I dont want to hop back on the prozac when it could just be the opiate withdrawl. I quit prozac because i dont want to rely on medication to be happy for the rest of my life.
Avatar m tn m coming off Tramadol as you know. The depression for me, has lifted, because I think the tramadol was causing it. With you; Is it depression or anxiety? Or is it simply Withdrawal Lethargy? I so undertsand not wantingto take anything else, so I would reccemnd that you correct your diet as much as possible, take the vitamins and aminos and above all, start exercising very slowly. Also getting outside and getting Vitamin D! SO important.
Avatar m tn but they all contain tylenol///ultracet is tam with tylenol....Ultram is just tramadol///tramadol is the generic name and Ultam is a brand name Trams do have both an AD quality causing increased seratonin/which is the same action as many popular ADs...zoloft, lexapro, prozac paxil, celexa...but it is an intense immediate effect with trams and these other ADs have to build up over time to help depression...
544292 tn?1268882668 Hi Tramadol Warriors, Many people have come here for many years, giving support and getting support. Because I still believe that Tramadol is unique in it's ... terror and torture of humans, this thread continues. The people who can understand what you are going thru are the people who have kicked it and there's people here who come back to lend a hand. You also will never need an understanding ear as much. You can do it. You can quit. You do not need to be a slave to Tramadol.
Avatar m tn Tramadol is a sort of mutant analgesic which can cause severe physiological withdrawl if it has been taken for a significant period of time & then abruptly discontinued. Tramadol is an addictive synthetic opioid analogue which both binds (weakly) to opioid receptor sites (just as narcotics do) and which also acts a lot like an SSRI antidepressant by inhibiting the synaptic re-uptake of dopamine and serotonin in the brain.
Avatar f tn i have to agree with avisg when i was on prozac i was numb. maby you could ask about lexipro it worked great 4 me i loved it...
Avatar f tn it is hard to feel like a zombie and exercise helped me along with the aminos...on prozac u would need to ask ur pharmacist which ones are safe for u to take as that is a strong AD....if it doesnt let up ask him to try something a bit lighter...it is hard to find the right AD..and sometimes we just dont really need one....
Avatar n tn Standard short half-life opiates tend to resolve faster. Longer half-life opiates such as Suboxone and Methadone (along with Tramadol) can take much longer. Just hang in there.
Avatar f tn She also told me if I was to take ANY tramadol with this new drug I WOULD have a seizure. So, no more tramadol ever. Thanks.
544292 tn?1268882668 Yeah it was miserable. I started prozac the same day i quit tramadol. and all the vitamins in the thomas recipe. it truly has helped me. you can't mix tramadol and antidepressants which in my opinion keeps me off the trams. whatever works. good luck to you, you're doing fantastic.
475300 tn?1312423126 ve tried over 10 on many different intervals and finally gave up and found a way, for me, that works to handle any of my depression issues. I do however, take Tramadol as it helps me immensely with the aches and pains and actually gives me a bit of a mood boost as well. I do not take the Tramadol that has acet./Tylenol in it. I take just the regular strength of Tramadol 50mg, not the ER. It works fine for me.
Avatar f tn Okay...Where is this article/letter from? Is this in reference to you? Are you taking zoloft now?? You know what? If this were ME,I would go into detox in-patient,not take suboxone,get myself to NA,find a sponsor and devote my life to being sober. But,that's just me. With Tramadol there are some tricky issues with the serotonin component. You'll be far from home,alone,depending on some kind of transportation,I just don't like it. Have you exhausted ALL other options??
Avatar m tn Hello it's me AGAIN sorry It is day 18 Tramadol free for me today and I just recently returned back to work yesterday after 2 weeks off for my detoxing. I had a decent day yesterday it was invigorating in a sense actually being at work opiate free and not in "cloud boogie wonderland " with Tramadol in my system, I'm in the canteen posting this at the moment and these bloody "brain zaps" are driving me crackers!!
Avatar f tn I just quite tramadol CT, it's been 10 days since my last one. I felt great for about 5 days after, no WD's really. But now Im starting to feel alot of anxiety, and depression, and big headaches! does anyone know what I can take to get rid of that feeling? I used to take antidpressents, but I have no insurance now. I am just trying to stay away from PILLS all the way to. I do alot of praying lately when I get those feelings but it doesn't work all the time.
Avatar n tn Quinidine (Quinaglute, Quinidex) reduces the inactivation of tramadol, thereby increasing the concentration of tramadol by 50%-60%. Combining tramadol with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (for example, Parnate) or selective serotonin inhibitors [(SSRIs, for example, fluoxetine (Prozac)] may result in severe side effects such as seizures or a condition called serotonin syndrome.
Avatar f tn So if the doctor said not to take tramadol with the prozac why did you?
Avatar f tn m on 10mg of Prozac and have noticed some weight gain within the past 2 months or so and my doctor has suggested I start taking Wellbutrin along with the Prozac but my biggest concern is having panic attacks. I suffer from panic disorder w/ agoraphobia and the Prozac has been helping but I'm afraid that adding on the Wellbutrin may counteract that. (I know it is considered a stimulant for a lot of people - hence the usual weight loss.
Avatar f tn I was given my first dose of Lyrica last night and I slept brilliantly for once, today I've been very sleepy and when I took a nap I couldn't stand up when I awoke because my hip just flared up so badly I couldn't even walk. Luckily I am in hospital, so they gave me morphine straight away and its feeling much better. I really don't know very much about Lyrica and I'd like to hear what some people have experienced with it.
Avatar f tn I've been through Hell with Tramadol. I made up my mind to get help and a Dr. Is helping me taper down. I am now down to 135 mg a day. Of course this is a great accomplishment from where I was 2 years ago. However, I have fallen into a depression that is very serious. I have read that this gloom cloud is a part of Tramadol withdrawal, and will pass. I guess what I'm needing is a bit of reassurance that someone has been able to get themselves back to feeling good about life again.
Avatar n tn My psychiatrist has just added Zyprexa to take with Prozac as the Prozac is not working like it used to work.I'm worried about the weight gain with Zyprexa, is there something else that could be used with the Prozac instead? Also until now I've also been taking 1 mg. Ativan in the morning and 1 mg Ativan before bed. Is it safe to use Ativan with the Zyprexa?
Avatar m tn I need some help. I have been off oxy for 26 days. I started with Tramadol 7 years for back pain and progressed to Oxycontin 15 mg 4 times per day. I had a nuerostimulater placed in my back for the nerve pain. I am managing the pain with that. I never took more than my prescription and didn't take it for the high. I kept taking my prescription because I wanted to avoid the withdrawals.
