tramadol with lexapro

Did the doctor that prescribed the tramadol prescribe the Lexapro? Many people have taken antidepressants after coming off narcotics. Depression can be a huge side effect to coming off pain meds, especially tramadol. You will get thru this so stay strong. I am glad you have gotten off the tramadol. How long has it been?

I went to pick up my Tramadol for the pharmacy and they said they would not fill because of drug ineractions with the lexapro and said the Dr. would have to sign off on the refill, which she did. The fact that the pharmacy said there were drug ineractions I thought I would quit taking and the fatique has taken over so bad I was unable to work. I decided to take 2 this a.m. and wonder what to do now. I must take my lexapro ~ what should I do now. Any answers would be wonderful!!!!

No, I stopped taking the tramadol and it disappeared. The psychiatrist said with the tramadol and the lexapro it was a bad mixture.

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.

m wondering what people have experienced with anything like this? I want to be done with it all, but know in my mind that when I take the tramadol, even just one pill, I feel great, just myself! These past 4 days I have not. I have 2 kids and one on the way. My wife is extremely supportive. I've asked the doctor for a script so I can come off slowly, but I'm not so sure that is the answer at this point, considering its been 4 days now.

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!

You can wean yourself down very slow over few weeks or do a quick taper of 2-3 weeks .Its a personal choice but do not forget what your end result should be-stopping tramadol althogether.IT IS going to require patience I counted the days when i got off lexapro-for some reason i had a very hard time with withdrawals.I had to do one day on, next off schedule for a week after i knew what was happening to me.

I take Tramadol, I have just looked at the info sheet that comes with them and there is no mention of dilation as a side effect. It does mention constriction (getting smaller) of the pupil, I get this. Check your info sheet as a double check. I would deffinetly call your doctor!

I have been taking 20mg of Lexapro for approximately 1 year now. I have had a back injury for which I have been issued a prescription for Ultram/Tramadol (50 mg: 3x a day). Can I take both together safely? I wondered so for the past 2 days I haven't taken my lexapro. I am experiencing extreme sensitivity to sounds and lights, irritation and brain zaps as a previous posting described. What is the most sensible approach to managing the back pain with my depression medicine?

My psychiatrist has had me on Lexapro 10mgs & Xanax 1mgs as needed for quite a while now. However I have been in a deep depression for a while now and she’s added Topamax, Wellbutrin XL to the above ... I’m concerned that is a lot and not sure if I want to add all that to the mix ... any feedback?

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??

How long will it take if I stay on 6, until I feel normal again? I hate tramadol. I thought with me taking Lexapro, I would be ok but I am not. I pray and pray, and I know God hears me, but I don't know what to do?? I am begging you or anyone to tell me when this hell would be over. When I tried to quit today, I could not sit still and got up every 5 minutes to pee or shake. Please help. Where is the light???

com since we often detox patients with tramadol addictions. Once you get through the withdrawals, the only thing you should keep in mind is as people start to feel really good after a few months out; they forget how bad the withdrawal really was and think they can start using again. Just once or twice.... and they get caught up yet again. Please try to remember how bad it is right now and stay far away from all drugs in the future. It is just not worth it.

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...

I don't know anything about quitting antidepressants. Wasn't tramadol your DOC? The AD keep me from going back to tramadol. I don't know if they are working or not but I'm not taking tramadol anymore. Its been well worth it to me.

I was on Cymbalta for 6 months as prescribed for my Psychiatrist, after that I decided to do some research about possible withdrawal symptoms because my bad experience with lexapro in 2005. I found that Cymbalta can cause severe symptoms from withdrawal abruptly. I started then to diminish slowly and after my 6 months of treatment I began to diminish by 5% increments every 10-15 days and after 4 months of tapering I was completly off.

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!

Avisg can help you with a taper as it is important to come off of tramadol slowly to avoid seizures...tramadol in addition to its narcotic efects has an anti-depressent effect as well...so the depression can be worse during wds than other narcs...but depression is part of all narc wds...u probably already know this..she will need to know how many you take to hep...your doctor could supervise your quitting them and would be the safest way to do it...keep posting..

ok starting in the morning i have atenolol 50mg twice a day. i have 90 tramadol 2 refills. i have lexapro. i have xanax .50mg and i got me immodium and phenergan. now call the shots for me. i will keep you posted is this good to have while cold turkey off of oxy's 3-4 a day???? i mean will this ease it some today i took nap and cut back sweating something fierce already yuck.......

I am taking Nexium (over a year) each day, so I don't think I can take anything else there. The anxiety has picked up, and I dry heaved about three times in the shower. Not fun, but I'm hanging in there... Yes, I stopped the tramadol about two days ago. Was only on it sporadically for about two weeks before AVISG and my new doctor told me to quit taking it and you shouldn't be on it with an SSRI (I'm on Lexapro).

just like an SSRI..lexapro, zoloft etc...plus trams effect the same receptors that narcotics do///with enuf of a daily dose..this narcotic wd also becomes a factor..the AD quality of trams is often the resason peeps get addicted to it vs the narcotic effect of this drug..it can be a double whammy for some who r addicted to it in both ways...takes alot to have a true narcotic addiction to trams..tho i have a friend who does..she took///TOOK 600 mgs plus a day of trams..

s and some tramadol....can anyone tell me if that pretty fast taper will help with the withdrawels... another question, will any of the meds i mention help with withdrawels, and what am i gonna expect tomorrow morning when i dont have 2 pills to take right when i wake up...

Hi~ This is a legitimate question. I hope Madtram and Tramahater see this. They can reassure you. I can tell you that what you feel right now is normal. I know you take Lexapro but are you aware that Tramadol also contains an antidepressant component? It's similar to Effexor. This COULD be part of the problem now. I'd get in to see your doctor and have a discussion about this. You might need some medication adjustment.

The reason its different with tremadol is because its opiate and atidepressant in one like. More an OPIATE acting on m1 receptors-opiate receptors but at the same time inhibiting seratonin and nonepeneprine reuptake. Hope it makes sense. I had a hard time getting off LEXAPRO. 20 days of all sorts of weird withdrawal symptoms.
