Common Questions and Answers about Tramadol vs naproxen

ultracet

Avatar n tn s taking Percocet but not the Flexeril or Naproxen nor Tramadol (until he gets more). He knows nothing about Doctor Shopping, it was my idea for him to see a doctor somewhere to get help for his severe pain - he has degenerative arthritis in his neck with compressed and bulging disks so I thought I was helping by taking him to my local doctor (I didn't realize he wouldn't mention the Tramadol and I think his anger, etc.

Avatar f tn He has been taking Lisinopril for high blood pressure a little over a year. He has been taking Naproxen for arthritis for several years. We have not been able to isolate a trigger for the Afib other than his controlled blood pressure. Now I am reading that a side effect of Naproxen use is high blood pressure. Has any one else encountered this?

I just can't wait that Long.
Avatar f tn First off, it bothers me when people say "abusing pills". Sorry, but you can not abuse an inanimate object. I also hate it when people confuse physical dependence with addiction. They are different in my book. Anyway, I am having a problem with my back hurting in my kidney area.
Avatar f tn t diagnosed until I was 27 showing symptoms from my second period at 13 . I was given naproxen that was it. I suffered tremendously and I would take Advil 3 every 3 hours so I am sure my liver from all those years is no good.
Avatar f tn Then my dr prescribed naproxen to take with the tramadol. It just barely takes the edge off my pain and cramps.
Avatar f tn Tramadol and Tylenol are not the same as Tramadol is an opioid as well as acts as an SNRI. You should google Tramadol and read about it before you take it or call your doctor.
Avatar n tn Hopefully you mean 300mg of tramadol and 1000mg of the Naproxen. (gm is the abbreviation for gram; mg means milligram and 1000mg =1Gm) Both doses are large as single doses even in mg. Maybe they are totals for doses that are spread out over each day? You mentioned several digestive tract diseases. They are often irritated by drugs like Naproxen (NSAIDS - non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) so I'd be careful and report any bleeding or stomach pain.
1230912 tn?1273492770 So I e-mailed my doctor about it and she put in a script for TraMadol, in turn I had to tell her I was already on that for my back problems so she sent in a script for Naproxen. Personally I don't think this is going to help at all because I have never had good luck with it in non-script form but we shall see. She said if it doesn't work to call her in two weeks and she will have to put me on something to take everyday to prevent the headaches. Anybody else see the problem here?
513154 tn?1340225289 The one non-narcotic pain reliever that comes to my mind is Ultram (tramadol). I have talked to many who have used it with success.
Avatar n tn t know anything about Sub, except it is suppose to be three times as strong as Tramadol. And since you are on Tramadol now, I say stay on that and taper off that. Why keep bouncing back and forth from one to the other? It will only bring you pain and discomfort.
403399 tn?1201833095 The only reason why Tramadol (Ultracet, Ultram, etc.) is not considered a narcotic is because at the moment it is unscheduled in the USA and pretty much everywhere else. It is fairly new being researched and first put on the market in the 90's.
1310633 tn?1430224091 So I almost killed my doberman a couple of weeks back. Went for a long bike-ride, and her arthritis flared up about 30 mins after our return home. Saw her with a slight limp, which I'd usually give a Tramadol for (Rx'd by her vet for just suck occasions). Couldn't find the bottle (just moved and haven't unpacked everything yet), so I figured I'd give her an Aleve® (Naproxen). DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE A DUMB@$$ LIKE ME AND GIVE YOUR DOG Aleve®.
Avatar n tn Vicodin is stronger then Tramadol. I think if you get put on tramadol you will be in alot more pain. My father inlaw takes it and it does nothing for him. I took it and it did nothing for me. Vicodin on the other hand did help my pain alittle. I would try to talk him into not doing it, ask him what is the main reason for changing your meds. I hate to say it but if you get them changed like that you will be in alot more pain. This is just my option. Tramadol did nothing for me.
Avatar f tn There is a black box warning of taking Tramadol (Ultram) with any anti-depressant on the market. Tramadol induces serotonin release, and inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine. SSRI's (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) or antidepressants also increase the serotonin levels. If both medications are taken together, you may experience serotonin toxicity. This can be fatal. Responsible physicians should not prescribe them together.
Business man2 mineral tablet (“A to Z” brand), - 1 raspberry keytone (sold by Walgreens), - 2 fish oil soft gels 1200mg (Walgreens brand) , - 2 ibuprofen (200mg each) usually, OR 2 acetaminophen (500mg each), OR 2 naproxen sodium (220mg each), OR 1 Rx meloxicam 15mg.

Avatar n tn i have taken vicodin for about 10 years now. I have never increased the dosage or abuse the med. my dr recently put me on tramadol which i'll try anything. i am to take 2 tramadol twice daily or as needed along with 800 mg ibuprofen twice daily. i have not found any resolve with this medication (i have been on it 2 weeks). i also have not had any typical withdrawl symptoms from stopping the vicodin. i have degeneration of my t3 and t4 vertebre and spinal rotation and of course subluxation.
Avatar f tn Tramadol is just as addicting and worse to come off of .I would look into non narcotic aleratives . ...
Avatar f tn ultracet has acetominophen (tylenol) in them, and the tramadol doesnt. They can come in varying dosages. Why is he taking them? Does he want to quit? Tram is a dangerous drug to take and to stop, you have to taper down slowly or you could have seizures. You can have seizures from takign too many as well. How long has he been on them?
Avatar f tn Vicodin is a higher pain killer than tramadol. Tramadol to me is no different to tylenol, then i have some friends that are addicted to it. I am coming off of vicodin and i dont sugest anyone take it for any periods of time. I dont know your story but if possible i would stray from vicodin. LIke i said i have used them both and vicodin gave the the pain relief and the "high" i was looking for tramadol didnt even touch the pain.
1839738 tn?1318548053 m in pain but I refuse to take my prescription because I am an addict in recovery and my dentist gave me Norco even after making him aware of my situation. I still remember my withdrawal symptoms from Tramadol 8 months ago and they were terrible (i did the c/t thing). At a point, I tried to kill myself cause I was feeling so depressed. My question is: how likely is it that I get hooked on these pills and how bad are the withdrawal symptoms?
Avatar n tn No constapation and been taking ibprofin for pain
699217 tn?1323438700 I wanted to know what the difference is between hydrocodone and like-oxycontin or oxycodone, Percocet, tramadol, is this all just types of hydrocodone? All I ever took was hydrocodone....
Avatar f tn Here is an old thread talking about the differences between Ultram (which is just tramadol) vs. Ultracet (which is lower dose tram with added acet). Hope it is helpful: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn Ive had xrays, bone tests, nerve tests, tissue tests, muscle tests, natural therapy, accupuncture, chinese medicine, pain injections, blood tests for over 50 things including borielose/lyme disese etc etc. Tried fluoxitine, amitriptylene,naproxen, tramadol and varois others. Tramadol helped for a few weeks then nothing. Im really getting to the end of my tether with this.
Avatar f tn I have a very high tolerance when it comes to medication. I have a pinch nerve on my left shoulder (going to get it Xray to see what it really is), which only gets aggravated when I'm stress or overwork it in the gym. My Dr has tried Flexeril, Skelaxin, 500 mg of naproxen and it hasn't work. Now she prescribe tramadol. I have read bad things about it and its side effects. Everything is dated from a few years ago, so I would like update from anyone that is taking it.
