a few questions for anyone taking tramadol

[Guest guest]

ok, so i called my doc and said i would like to rty the tramadol since

i heard some people having good results. He called it in and i just got

it. It says take every 6 hours as needed for pain. so here are my

questions. 1) if when i still have pain after taking it can i still use

my percoet, for breakthru pain? 2) do i take it every 6 hours or only

when the pain is really bad and i cant handle it anymore? did anyone

have bad side effects with this? Anything else youd like to add would

be fine? I know everyone is different and im just looking for some

answers. ~THANKS~TANYA~

Take the Tramadol every 6hrs. If the pain is severe take your percocets. The

medications work differently so you shouldn't have a problem. The Tramadol works

on the substance p. I had no side effects. But you don't have the same feelings

you get from vicodin and percocet. Good luck!

- I would take the tramadol every 6 hours as prescribed, and then if

necessary add the percocet. Are you on 50 mg. every 6 hrs. or 100 mg? Hope it

works for you w/o any bad side effects. Good luck.

I have been using tramadol for the last six years. I take two in the

morning, one at lunch and two at night (50 mg per tablet). I have had

no side effects at all from this medication. It doesn't make me loopy,

sleepy, or anything. It doesn't take the pain completely away but it

usually takes it from an 8 without medication to a tolerable 4 or 5

with the medication.

Good Luck

Thanks to all who replied,* I have 1 more question can you take soma, the

muscle relaxer with it? My doctor called them in together so I hope the

pharmisist would have said something but just checking,*

*I don't think I would take Tramadol AND percocet. I'd ask your druggest or

your doctor before you do that. They are both painkillers so you shouldn't

combine them. Mine say every 4 hours. The first time I took it, I had a

really bad headache but that hasn't happened since. Good luck and I hope it

helps you. As a sidebar, I have to take either Ibuprofin or Naprosin along

with the Tramadol in order for it to work.*

humm - I've not had any problems on it but then I have not taken it since I

switched from Cymbolta back to Celexa and the druggest warned me the two " may "

not mix. It scared me! LOL

I took Tramadol + Tylenol for my neck injury and looking back, I wish I had it

back and may ask my reg. Dr for it. It helped me feel better all together, as my

aching seemed better. Just my 2 cents

I am also allergic to narcotics including codeine. However, I am not

allergic to ultram/tramadol, as it is a synthetic, not a true

narcotic. I feel for you with the allergic reactions to both codeine

and tramadol, but it's not necessarily always the case to be allergic

to both the narcotic and the synthetic tramadol. Just don't want

someone to miss the good benefits of tramadol, just because of a

codeine allergy.
