Will taking tramadol and lexapro cause problems?

Bobbi

My doctor prescribed Tramadol for back pain. The Tramadol is working great. However, I have read that taking Tramadol and Lexapro can cause seizures. I'm also on 200 mg of Lamictal. Should I stop taking the Tramadol? Other pain medications have not worked for me.



Edgardo

Me and Dyno always disagree on Tramadol, but he is right about mixing my favorite pill with Lexapro. Lamictal is a great medication to take with Tramadol though. Lamictal is an anti-seizure medication which is also used as a mood stabilizer. The combination of Tramadol and Lamictal is very calming and pleasant. You could get away with taking all three pills like the pharmacist said, but there is a risk of seratonin disorder which is a slim chance. Good health to you.

YES it will, you do not mix serotonin reuptake drugs! go to Lexapro.com and read and it specifically says not to mix Tramadol with this drug. Tramadol is the worse drug on the planet.I tried copying and pasting the thing but it didn't work, go on the site and read it yourself.

If you only take tramadol occasionally will you become addicted?

Remedios

I have a lot of pain and don't want to take a lot of strong pain medications. But sometimes I just can't sleep without something stronger than Tylenol.

I'm surprised at some of the answer's you got. Tramadol is wildly addictive. I have taken it for close to two years and I know without a shadow of a doubt how addictive it can be. If you take it occasionally though, you will not get addicted. You have to take a steady daily dose over the course of a few weeks or even months to get physical withdrawal symptoms upon stopping.



Danyell

depends, some people get addicted faster than others.



Jodie

no, you will not. tramadol is the generic name for ultram, which is the prescription medication of choice when a physician chooses a non-narcotic pain reliever. there is no risk of physical dependence with this medication.



Alanna

Tramadol (ultram) is non-addicting. I take it and have no addictions to to it.



Anastacia

Tramadol can be addicting; in some states it is not considered a narcotic and some it is. i have seen a lot of people become addicted to tramadol over the last 5 years that I've worked in a pharmacy. as long as you take it as directed you will be fine.
