Re: Tramadol and Tylenol- ADDICTION

[Guest guest]

I forgot to mention, Tramadol is prescribed due to it's LOW addiction rate. many

people were initially taken off drugs that worked because Tramadol is considered

to be less addicting.

I was taking a Morphine drug called Embeda which cost an arm and leg because it

had a core inside of it that would reverse the effect of the drug if crushed. I

have since switched to $10 morphine :-D

Of course if these drugs work for you, you should take them.

I'm now on my 6th pain med trial. 50mg Tramadol and 500mg Tylenol 4x a

day. I've

only been on it for 1 1/2 days so we'll see. At least my pain hasn't gone UP

like it did on the Nortriptyline. It felt like my nerves were being

electrocuted! I called the Dr. after 2 days and he said to give it a week. I

stopped on day 4 because the pain was so bad. My pain also skyrocketed on

Gabapentin. The Dr. theorizes that I'm allergic to those branches of pain meds.

Has anyone else taken Tramadol and Tylenol together for pain management? If so,

how did it go?
