Re: Darlene/ tramadol?

[Guest guest]

You'd have to try it and see. I don't believe it is as strong as Darvocet, but

I don't remember ever having Darvocet myself. Since we all react differently,

you'd have to try and see how it did for you. There are warnings about taking

tramadol with most anti-d's. So that's another factor to consider. I have no

other choice for pain relief unless I switch to narcotics, so for now, I take

both meds and keep an eye out for seratonin syndrome.

Jeanne,

It could have been toradol...lol...I was in so much pain, I might not have

heard correctly! I wonder though if tramadol would help me some with the

break-thru pain; I don't want to take darvocet all the time!

I was force-fed Darvocet for years,it never helped. Tramadol works better..but

it needs to be stronger.

Okay, maybe a dumb question on my part but is tramadol the same as

ultram? If so, I was given that after an accident for my back pain

and it worked wonderfully!

Oh and Jeanne? I got my medical records and it was toradol they gave

me. No wonder I went out like a light, huh?

Yes, tramadol is the generic name, Ultram is brand name. You can take 100 mg.

of tramadol at a time, but not all docs will prescribe that way. Mine doesn't,

but since I don't need it all the time, so far, I have plenty to get through a

month.

Yeah, that IV toradol is great. I was told by other FM'ers to ask for this

after my gastric bypass surgery, that it would help with the all over FM pain

following the trauma of surgery. It did help quite a bit, but they only gave it

to me for a day or day and a half, and of course my back was still killing me by

the end of the hospital stay.
