I've taken 3 tramadol earlier today last one around 6pm. It made my stomach hurt so I took a promethazine around 10pm. Now, the pain is back and I want to sleep is it safe to take my flexeril? I don't have a history of seizures but when I check the interaction it says theres a risk for seizures. My pharmacist says that's only if you've had history of seizures who do I believe?

i take Tramadol daily and I have taken Promethazine with it. It may increase the effects of tramadol and the drug interactions site does say it may cause seizures but i think that is very rare. You usually have to have a history of seizures for this to happen usually. It is also associated with large doses of Tramadol, 300mg and up. The Flexeril should be fine too. 9 times out of 10 the pharmacy wont tell you to do anything dangerous but sometimes the drug interaction checker will scare you. It's always good to be cautious though, you don't want to be another Heath Ledger.

I have a history of seizures and I take both Tramdol and Flexeril and it don't bother me at alll. If your stomach hurt when taken make sure you eat first. Sometime medicines hurt the stomach when taken on empty stomach.

Your safe, in high high doses of promethazine It could cause a seizure. I mean a ridiculous dose though.. take the recommended dose.The tramadol can cause seizures especially if you are prone to them.. but I am prone to seizures and have taken it before and it didn't cause me to have one.. but another time I took it and I had one.Then one different time I wasn't taking it and I had one.So. it's is your body.. I wouldn't exceed 100mg of it at once though, then you will incrase your risk of a seizure when on the medication.

Believe the Pharmacist. It is perfectly safe to take the Flexeril now. You said you took your last Ultram at 6pm. Plenty of time to take the Flexeril. I take both Tramadol and Flexeril at the same time and have never had a problem. I hope you find some relief from your pain.
