Avatar m tn Your best bet right now would be to talk with your doctor and come up with a taper plan. With being bipolar we want you to be safe.

Avatar f tn and well my question is, i take tramadol and xanax, i was wondering if they had anything to do with the bruising i am getting on left theigh... i wake up every mornign with new ones.. they started out small.. now they are dark black and huge all over my theigh only... it looks like some beat the crap out of my leg... it doesnt hurt much.. but then again i am on the tramadol... which works for me... please tell me what is wrong with me!!!
Avatar f tn I know the tramadol made it worse, but looking back I can see that I had some symptoms before the tramadol. My father was also diagnosed as bipolar, so there is family history too. Anyway, my question is, as I taper the tramadol, should I also taper the seraquell ? To the extent that the psychiatrist is correct, and the tramadol caused the mania, will I no longer need the seraquell?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed neurontin for Tramadol WD symptoms. I have been taking the Tramadol for 5 years at 8 / 50mg tabs a day . How much gambepin did you take a day?? I'm really afraid of the Wdls because they are so severe!
Avatar f tn Hi all. I have been taking about 8 50mg of tramadol per day for about a month. After reading the horror stories on here about tramadol withdrawal I have decided to stop taking so many and try to get it down to just 1 or 2 per day. I have been on seroquel, lexapro, lamictal and l tyrosine for about two years for bipolar depression. Do u think since I have so many antidepressants in my system that it will make the mental withdrawal a bit easier??
Avatar f tn I was recently prescribed a medication from my doctor and it starts with a T it was prescribed for anger management and possibly bipolar I can't remember the name of it and I haven't picked up the script I'm trying to do some research on itand could use a little help regarding the name if anyone knows
Avatar m tn I quite agree with you! But in this case we're not just dealing with chronic pain, we're dealing with bipolar disorder, and I would argue that the AD effect of tramadol isn't required because the patient is already on an AD. 37.5mg tramadol isn't a high dose at all, but how much will be taken over the course of a day. Analgesic blood levels require to be kept as constant as possible to be effective, so it's not going to be just one or two doses a day.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have been taking about 8 50 mg of tramadol per day for the last month. I want to stop taking them but am scared of withdrawals. I was prescribed them for lower back pain. I also taking seroquel, lamictal, lexapro and l tyrosine for bipolar depression. Do u think the withdrawal from the tramadol will be bad? Should I taper? What should I expect? Please help me. I'm scared. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it takes to withdrawal from tramadol? I am in the process of tapering and want to know when the worst sets in how long I should take off work.? Also I am on seroquel, lexapro, and lamictal for bipolar so I'm hoping because I am those that the mental withdrawal might not be so bad. Is that just wishful thinking or possible? Please share your thoughts and experiences. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Mainly in my back, legs and feet. It all migrates and is generally awful. I was given Tramadol to help with the pain. I thought great, at last some relief. I was very dissapointed to find out that it realy didn't give me the relief I hoped for. So I did what I would imagine was the right thing to do, I stopped taking them altogether. MY GOD!!!.Why wasn't I told of what would happen. I am on day three of going cold turkey and its hell.
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.
Avatar f tn I have had several back surgeries and had gotten addicted to pain medication was at my sergion recently for pain and I asked for non- narcotic he said have we evr tried tramadol, I said no but did you look at the other meds I am taking. I currently take toredal and also prozac for bipolar diesease.
Avatar f tn I was addicted to xanax about a year ago and suffered severe withdrawals until I got psychiatric help and a taper. I have bipolar disorder and several anxiety. A little over 3 weeks ago I started taking less than 1 mg for anxiety again without a prescription and want to come off of them again because of the terrible withdrawals. I dont have any insurance and I need a safe way to get off the xanax without a doctor. HELP!
Avatar m tn I have Bipolar and I'm on meds for for stability and have some very bad lows. I have been abusing DHC (which is a much stronger drug, unscripted) with Tramadol up to 10 50mg in a day. I was in deep with these 2 drugs, both opiates. I would have 2/3 good (good! I really mean functional) days a week while I abused Tramadol and the other day I would take a maintenance dose to stave off the withdrawals.
1781282 tn?1314931590 I am depressed lately and been taking pain pills about 6 months. i currently am taking tramadol for kidney pain and constant uti so i do need them SOMETIMES.. but i cant go a day without them. i also been stealing my fathers pills and even taken other peoples pills. what ever i can get my hands onto that has opiod in it and it has to be a narcotic. when i take these pills it takes all my depression away. i feel so happy energized not sleepy..
Avatar f tn 5mg of tramadaol HCl, whereas tramdol alone (brand name Zydol) is in multiples of 50mg. Tramadol is much stronger than codeine or dihydrocodeine. 50mg of tramadol is pretty much the same as 10mg of oral morphine, so to say that it is not narcotic is stupid and ridiculous! Hope this helps!
990354 tn?1307132886 What is tramadol, is it similar to vicodin or percs?? Found it on a friend, and was worried they were in my spot- what is it??
491030 tn?1242424766 So what is the diffrence with the Tramadol ER to regular tramadol that is not ER. I am scared to take them so I have not even tried to take them but I am in so much pain... Then I just got put on Lithium from my Psyciatrist he was not vey happy that they put me on Ryzolt becuz he says it acts as a depression med so it does oppisit so now I just don't know what to do except have alot of anxiety plus I just had my 2nd miscarriage.... So I am not doing so well mind wise either..
Avatar f tn As is I split the dose to make it last longer. No side affects though. I swear by Tramadol 200 slow release and Lyrica. Without those two I would be a complete mess.
1700643 tn?1464846682 She wants2get tramadol not lortab cause her+her son think tram isnt addictive,doesnt contain any from of opiate etc.Thank god Ive read so much on this site about it2b educated enough2show her here today+share my knowledge.
Avatar n tn I suspect the depression is caused by withdrawal from the antidepressant component of tramadol. As with effexor, following a taper with tramadol is much gentler on the brain but as you are already off, (which is a great thing), you may want to talk to your md about trying an antidepressant to help restore your brain chemistry. On the non prescription side, 5htp or St John's wort can work equally as well.
1954418 tn?1327275446 So I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, Ocd, and anxiety disorder. I am sure there is probably more in there and I have come to the realization I was taking loritabs and tramadol to self medicate. Now that i am 18 days detoxed I am still on around 8 psychiatric medications. Do you think I will ever be free? Between depression and high anxiety these medicines help me but I am sick of pills and I know I can not just stop taking them however is anyone else in my position?
Avatar n tn I've heard over and over again on here that tramadol is absolute hell to get off of. Like people are complaining more than someone who is trying to get off harder opiates. What's the big deal with this drug? Can someone answer me with specifics? Also, is there anyone out there that has just taken it for a short time and then stopped with no problems?
