Wow, just read this addthat is awful that this happened with drug interaction.

I do knowith my experience, my mom HAS to use her tramadol or she literally,

stops functioning, and can not move 1 inch without pain, and she is a positive,

go getter still working at 78, and has gone dispite pain, but has to use the

drug, she sometimes will tell me I think I am , addicted to them, but we just

chuckle as she has been alot more then I have she has R/A, Poly something which

before diagnoised had her taken by ambulance which she does not do easily! Now

she surrounds herself in swimming, positive people, reading, and mediatating

which she swears by also oh and support groups. Oh she also went thru colon

cancer 6 yrs ago. But now each time she sees a Dr. they keep finding these new

things to send her to another type of Dr. which ends up them saying well u have,

but not to worry! Anyway I wish tramadol worked for me as I am on stronger med,

and know long term it is causing damage

as I have to take everyday the minute I wake up to even be able to move out of

bed, and lately have had it thru night. But just wanted to say I ALWAYS ask my

PHARMISIST when given meds if they will interact, cause anything I should watch

for etc. as they have told me things DR. have not, and they are better trained

in Med. knowledge. Good luck to all of you and I am glad you got thru that

scarey time. Sharon

Bonnie, did this just happen? How awful! I worry about the seratonin

syndrome happening with myself, because there are warnings about mixing

tramadol with SSRI's. But I feel like I don't have a choice because tramadol

does help my pain and I gotta have my Cymbalta, too.

Glad to hear you are OK now. Take care.
