Avatar f tn Taking Tramadol for weight loss is very dangerous. First, it is not what it is intended for and second, it is addictive and you are subject to seizures when you stop taking it. You need to find a new way to deal with your weight issues. Again, this is very dangerous.

Avatar f tn Am I crazy, or does continuous use of Tramadol at high doses cause your hair to fall out? I have been on Tramadol daily for 3 years. I really am loosing my hair. Has this happened to anyone?? Will it grow back after I finally kick this habit??
Avatar m tn I had a prescription for tramadol for over 3 years, and it has now run out. I still have access to hydrocodone and tramadol, without a prescription. I'm basically fed up with my whole life and routine revolving around medication. Not to mention, the financial drain due to the addiction. A normal day consist of 4 to 5 50 mg tramadols, and 3 hydrocodone 10s. I have began weening back, and now either take 3 hydro 10s, or 6 50mg trams. Rotating depending on availability.
1325193 tn?1450127436 I know this seems trival, but it is just me trying to remeber what normal was like before the tramadol. Thanks for the comments.
Avatar f tn Determining a dosage of tramadol for dogs is an exercise in futility. As with people, if the dog has a history of seizures it is important to let your vet know this, and they will likely tell you about alternatives. While the dosage amounts vary from dog to dog, the tramadol dosage for dogs can be put into effect by using the dog’s weight as the determinant. The usual range is .5 - 1.8mg per pound.
Avatar f tn I have been eating pretty healthy the last month and am seeing no weight loss, I actually keep slowly gaining weight. If anyone has any information for me, please let me know. I want to keep the IUD in, but if it's causing me to gain weight and stay moody, then no thank you.
Avatar n tn however she has hip dysplasia and has been looseing control of bowels and bladder for awhile now. She is now loosing weight rapidly (she looks like a walking bone) and she is eating. We dont know why and when we should consider the end. Some days are a little better than the others, but not the weight gain shes starving. Help with ideas please.
996658 tn?1249675169 t blame the doctors for trying to prescribe a suitable alternative for narcotics.The properties of tramadol sound ideal for pain,antidepressant effects,weight loss and pain relief and considered a non narcotic.Perfect drug....wrong..Even if the regulators do not consider it a narcotic.It binds to opiate receptors.That is an opiate drug in my books..It will probably be moved to the narcotic list soon(I hope).
968560 tn?1307451498 I have recently gotten a script for tramadol and FOR ME it works wonders. Vicodin never touched the neck pain and soma just makes me sleep, hence no pain. I think a script of 40 has lasted me about 30 or so days and it says I can take 4 a day. Not a narcotic but it really helps.
Avatar n tn I used to take Tramadol for pain. It’s addictive if taken every day for more than about 6 weeks. Your body gets used to it and then you feel bad if you stop taking it so you take more and tell yourself you need it. Tramadol can actually cause pain by the way if you have certain conditions. I took it for arthritic pain and it made me sleep longer and more deeply meaning I woke feeling more stiffness and pain so I took more Tramadol to relieve the pain.
Avatar f tn The loss-gain equation is entirely mechanical and mathematical and I don't care WHAT Jenny Craig says. If the amount of energy going IN is MORE than the amount expended -you gain; if the amount going in is LESS than that expended, you lose. Period. Does Celexa cause your burn rate to slow down? Maybe.
Avatar f tn I have neuropathy of my feet all the way up to my knees and now in my hands and in one spot on my face, i was an undiagnosed diabetic for YEARS!!!! I know that pain all to well. I suffered years w/o any meds ( started when i was 21 and I am 47 now) I started on Tramadol and codeine together 5 yrs ago and 4 days ago Topamax was added.
Avatar f tn I have gained a tremendous amount of weight taking this drug. At 55, I am trying to eat clean, exercise, lose weight and get in better physical condition. I have wanted to stop taking this drug but just like all of you the side effects were so bad I kept going back on them after usually one to two days. My doctor told me I must need the medication if I was having such severe withdraw. So, I continued the meds.
3154120 tn?1343402249 I've been on Tramadol caps and BuTrans patches for over 7 months. My GP recently added oramorph to this but mentioned that BuTrans and Tramadol counter-act each other so the patch may not be working to the extent it should be. Has anyone else heard about this or able to shed some light?
Avatar n tn As far as I am aware anticonvulsants of the gabapentoid class (gabapentin and pregabalin, for example) are known to cause weight gain and hair loss in some people. It's listed in their side effect profile. I use clippers with a number 2 comb to disguise the hair loss...

Avatar m tn I have been on this medication tramadol for years and have lost weight. A lot of weight so I think I am going to get my Dr. to switch me to something else because I am pretty sure this medication has done that.
Avatar f tn I was not taking pain medication for weight loss. I was not expecting weight loss. I was eating regularly. I did not understand why I was loosing weight since I was eating and exercising as I always had. In fact, I was exercising less because the MEDS made me tired, lethargic, depressed and sedated. The pain doctor said none of this had anything to do with the MEDS but I thought it had to. When I stopped taking the medication, I stopped losing weight and had more energy.
Avatar f tn Easier said than done, I know, but stress is terrible for weight loss. I too have PCOS and understand your struggle. Because of the PCOS you should adopt a diet free of white carbs and lower your intake of sugar. I understand your financial situation, too. I recently had to get an EBT card to pay for food. Since you go to college do you have access to athletic areas like the track? Our local outdoor high school track is open to the public.
