Common Questions and Answers about Tramadol and hydrocodone

So after a few days, any withdrawal you feel is going to be a tramadol withdrawal and not a hydrocodone withdrawal. And yes, it will be worse, there are many more horror stories about tram than hydrocodone. I had a doctor try to take me off of hydrocodone by giving me tramadol a few years ago when I was stopping meds after a surgery, and the withdrawals were terrible.
yes i am on day three of detoxing from hydrocodone and am currently taking tramadol bout 150 mg a day and it seems to be helping im not really as sick and am pretty mobile i have also used prayer but was wondering if im going to be in the same boat when the tramadol runs out
If you are having a reaction to the Tramadol, I would call your doctor and stop taking it immediately!
I have heard from many people on this site that Tramadol withdrawals are extremely difficult and I've almost wondered from their explanations of it if it's worse than the Hydroodone withdrawals. I just went throug the withdrawals from Hydrocodone (Lortab) and I'm on Day 16 and so it wasn't fun and I can't imagine something worse than that. Please be careful either way!
Hey guys, Im new here and wanted some advice. Ive been taking Tramadol and Hydrocodone together for about three months off and on, perscribed of course, then I started reading how bad withdrawals can be from the Tramadol, so I quit taking it cold turkey with little side effects. Now I'm getting ready to quit this Hydrocodone, just a little scared from withdrawal and what to expect. will it be bad after just three months. averaged about 40 mgs. daily.
I am disabled from my injuries and I have been on hydrocodone and it never took the pain away and I have take darvacet, percacet and to my surprise Tramadol works for me and my quality of life is so much better and I am 48 yrs old!!!
Towards the end of my hydrocodone addiction though I was taking both Tramadol and Hydrocodone. I would take Trams for 2 weeks then switch to Hydros for 2 weeks. I did that for about 1 year before I got on the Methadone. And switching from hydros to trams went smooth, no withdrawals. But switching from trams to hydros was a little rough. I would feel some mild Tramadol withdrawals. That's what led me to the fact that Tramadol is a worse drug to be addicted to with worse withdrawals.
Is Tramadol an Opiate and is it stronger then hydrocodone? Anyone with advice concerning this drug HELP.
Therefore, I am hoping this might open the door for some relief for some of those that suffer from chronic non-allergic rhinitis. Also, I recognize hydrocodone and Tramadol are opiates and must have a prescription. Opiates, especially hydrocodone, can have significant abuse potential but I perceive Tramadol is much friendlier in this regard and, at least for me, provides consistent and significant relief from a problem that is sometimes too distracting to allow normal daily activities.
I've been taking hydrocodone/Lortab and tramadol for about 5-6 years, all doctor-prescribed for chronic pain. I've never taken more than prescribed over the life of each refill, although I sometimes take extra on worse days and less on others to make up for it. After doing some research about the w/d symptoms, I wonder how much of my chronic pain is due to fibromyalgia and psoriatic arthritis, and how much is due to w/d symptoms?

Hydrocodone only comes with either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Tramadol is another medication that I use with my patients that is of equal effectiveness but does come without the other medications. However, some patients will experience nausea with tramadol.
Good luck!
Unless you want to make your withdrawals worse and prolonged. I use to have an addiction to hydrocodone. Once took 40 Norco in 14 hours. And I can tell you Tramadol is Far more dangerous to get involved with! The withdrawals are worse than Heroin, many many people have said. I have had withdrawals from Methadone, and I can tell you Tramadol is just as bad. Tramadol is bad news, not to start is the best idea!
I am not a pharmacist nor a doctor. I advise you to call your pharmacist and ask him to be completly safe.
I have taken these two medications together and it worked fine.
I repeat that you should call your pharmacy to make sure as everyone is different.
I hope your pain levels are under control soon:)
Let us know how your doing.
They are both used to treat pain, and although tramadol is not an opioid, it DOES bind to opioid receptor sites in the brain and so it can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction, just like the hydrocodone. Since they both work in the same area, if you're taking them both, you're likely to have more pronounced effects as it's like doubling up.
Before going to pm Drs i was being treated by my GP for 10 yrs of my pain managment. I was on tramadol short acting and hydrocodone. I alternated them through out the day. Wel my PM DR wont keep me on two short trem pain meds. I dont think the tramadol er is as effective as the regular. So I'm looking to talk to my PM Dr about next step up. Im not comfortable with fentanyl cuz its so strong and have to bite the bullet and so a med switch to something diffrent for a med break.
When was the last time you used Tramadol?
Have not taken tramadol for days, but been taking the hydrocodone. Now more and more Hydrocodone. Thought mabey going back to tramadol and leaving the hydros. Now i'm not sure which way to go. I badly want off both. Anyone have any suggestions?
s, I have been taking cholesterol medication for about 2 months, I also take Hydrocodone 10/325 and Tramadol 50mg daily. I take 3 and 3. I was told that if my liver enzyme's were not down by my next visit on 3/23 I would no longer be able to take the Hydrocodone nor the cholesterol medication. My question is what alternatives to I have to replace the Hydrocodone10/325. Please reply with any advice or suggestions. Thank You.
I have severe Fibromyalgia and So I just took my last 2 hydro 10/500 tonight and i have been on about 75 to 100 mgs daily which are not prescribed to me and i have buy off the street...I fear withdrawal so bad because i have been through it before and its hell. I have taken neurotin before to help ease withdrawal but lately it doesnt seem to help the achiness and joint pain.
Don't give him Tramadol. That is just is bad. He's only been using for 2 weeks? That jsut escalated really quick. Can you try to help him taper by a pill per week or every few days? He's taking way too much aceteminophen.
