Avatar m tn Will taking Tramadol interfere with my Zoloft withdrawal recovery, since it's an SSRI? I take only 2 Tramadol tabs a day. (Each tab is 50mg) I was on 50mg Zoloft when I quit taking it cold turkey.
Avatar m tn Does Tramadol have as much SSRI in it as Zoloft? Does 100mg of Tramadol have as much SSRI as say 50mg of Zoloft? I was taking Tramadol while I was going through Zoloft withdrawal and I'm just wondering if I stunted the healing process of my Zoloft withdrawal. My body and mind still don't feel 100% since quitting Zoloft, but it's definitely getting better.
Avatar m tn If any of you read another post of mine about someone asking about the antidepressant effect of tramadol, i stated that tramadols closest chemical relative was Effexor albeit the synthetic opiate component. So combining your Zoloft with high doses of tramadol is probably not a great idea and yes, would great increase your chances of serotonin syndrome. With that in mind you will feel much better starting your Zoloft or increasing it as your are tapering off the tramadol.
Avatar f tn The development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome may occur with the use of tramadol products, including tramadol hydrochloride, particularly with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs such as SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, MAOIs, and triptans, with drugs which impair metabolism of serotonin (including MAOIs), and with drugs which impair metabolism of tramadol (CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibitors). This may occur within the recommended dose (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacokinetics ).
Avatar f tn I would really watch it man,if you are going to take the 2 together take only a 1/4 pill of the zoloft and wait a few hours to see how you feel,I have had several seizures and a near death expierience mixing other drugs with tramadol and I am a heavy duty drug user but tram is a different ballgame,if zoloft wants to take you one way and the tram in another you could die,this is no joke,and the big problem is that they really don't know how to counteract tramadol in the er,they will just make
Avatar f tn I have horrible depression and anxiety that causes mood swings, suicidal thoughts and intense anger. Its not bipolar since its not manic and doesn't go up or down.I used to be a heavy pot smoker which kept it under control. Well I smoked after my first son was born and noticed I got heavily addicted to it. (Bitchy without it and fiending it constantly) My doctor prescribed zoloft but I didn't feel any different and didn't change my mood at all.
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.
1081265 tn?1256138365 What can I do to help ease the withdrawls i am having from months of Tramadol abuse? I am miserable. Physically and mentally. I began taking this medication for headaches but I got addicted to it because it put me in a good mood and gave me a sense of control. I couldn't sleep without it. I have stopped and my doctor will not give me anymore to help wean me off of it. I feel like my insides are jumping. My legs and arms are sooooooo restless and I can NOT lay still.
Avatar f tn could any of you tell me how long I should be off of tramadol before j can safely take Zoloft please. I'm a mom of a new baby and want to be safe and not hurt myself or him since I'm nursing.
1602919 tn?1297874013 Zoloft for depression and Tramadol for pain? How long have you taken the Tramadol? I ask because I had side effects with Tramadol - tingling fingers, rapid heartbeat and my head felt weird. I have a large herniated disk revealed through an MRI. I was given Trmadol took it one evening and that was it. Now I take Norco because it has less acetaminophen. I'm hoping the hernia will reabsorb. But seriously, in my case the Tramadol & I didn't get along.
Avatar f tn Anyone dealing with Tramadol withdrawl. I mean mental? An how are you dealing with it? I see a psychologist an attend NA when I can. Excercise when I can. But some days good others bad. Any feed back would help. Thanks.
Avatar f tn zoloft is also an SSRI so there is a risk of too much serotonin in your system which itself increases the risk of seizure. Combining zoloft with tramadol is also quite risky for this reason. Given that you are already struggling with depression, you would really benefit from doing this with professional help. If the zoloft, welbutrin & ativan are prescribed, you could ask your doctor to review whether your meds need to be adjusted or changed.
Avatar n tn I take zoloft and ultram on a daily bsbis. Is there any concern with bad interactions? so far I feel none.
1081265 tn?1256138365 if you are on small amounts, it could conceivably make your dependence worse. Being on zoloft and large amounts of tramadol introduces another risk too which I won't go into here.
Avatar f tn I tried the Thomas Recipe. It did not help the severe and I mean severe panic. The physical part wasn't that bad thanks to Thomas Recipe. I want to connect with you all! I'm probably going to have to quit my job to get off the Tramadol. It has a hold that I read is worse than heroin and though I have only experienced Tramadol, I believe it is worse than heroin wds. Stay with me!
Avatar n tn Tramadol is addicting and comes with its own set of problems.. ImDone is on so hopefully she will see this. She knows alot about this drug.
1351870 tn?1277732421 There IS an interaction. Zoloft does not need to be taken with tramadol. That is very dangerous from what I understand.
Avatar f tn I have taken Tramadol for pain and have experienced some side effects and taken Zoloft along with it. I still take Zoloft but added Magnesium Citrate "Calm" to my daily routine. It is called the miracle mineral. Ask doctor!! Look up Dr. Carolyn Dean on the net and she will tell you ALL ABOUT this amazing mineral we are lacking so greatly in our diets. It has helped me so much!!!
Avatar f tn I took tramadol the last 24 weeks of my treatment, but it only worked together with tylenol 2 capsules tramadol one tylenol pill. It helped a lot with my mood aswell. I didn`t took any other meds beside soc and that during tx. The doc prescribed it because of terrible headache that I have had for months Good luck with the rest of your treatment.
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...
Avatar f tn I worry if I don't take an antidepressant I may go back to tramadol. can't take trams and AD together. I do have a problem with depression. I make myself excersise every day plus take vitamins, eat healthy. I'm beginning to wonder if the tramadol ate my brain or something. And thank you, you guys are great. I wouldn't be over 100 days free from tamadol if not for this forum and the ppl here.
Avatar f tn It's tough to weigh it out. I used to take klonopin but apparently *all* benzos (xanax, ativan, valium, etc) can cause birth defects. I had to stop Effexor to switch to zoloft. And stop trazadone, tramadol, ambien...I think it boils down to the doctor's experience and preference with certain meds and if they feel they would do more good than bad. Good luck!!
Avatar f tn I have been taking it twice a day for 2 years now, along with Zoloft, Serouel, Tramadol, and Klonopin. I do not abuse any of these drugs, and take them only as prescribed. The only problem I ever had with any of these is the Tramadol: if I take it (it is 'as'need' for ody fatigue), I must take the lowest possible dose, as too much can cause siezures when combined with the rest of my meds.
5093508 tn?1390543931 I was put on tramdadol SR,150mg to take with 50mg faster acting tramadol. I have chronic arthritis pain. I also take 30mg oxycontin, 2 endone(oxycodone hydrochloride, 30mg mirtazapine and 10mg zoloft. I am also on Gabapentin, 600mg X 3, daily for phantom limb pain due to amputation of right leg. Since starting tramadol, I have been feeling jittery and very anxious, fearful for no reason, and now depression has set in rather bad.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am 30 days off of tramadol ( 2pills 3x daily sometimes more) they were prescribed to me for fibromyalgia and I was on them for 2 years. I was on hydrocodone for about a year before the tramadol and I wanted to get off the narcotics so I was put on tramadol since its "non narcotic"...!!! Yeah right! I quit taking the hydrocodone cold turkey and the withdrawal from those was way easier than the withdrawal from tramadol! Anyways...
