My mom has got rheumatoid arthritis and the doctor has given her 600mg of Tramadol per day (300 morning and evening) should be on a dose this high?

My doctor did the same for me and I have not had any side affects and it does help my arthritis.

I'd double check with the pharmacist and doctor as it is a narcotic and the dosage is high, above what is recommended for maximum dose, 50% above - from the website I got the below dosage information. www.medicinenet.com/tramadol/artiDOSING: The recommended dose of tramadol is 50-100 mg (immediate release tablets) every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. The maximum dose is 400 mg/day. To improve tolerance patients should be started at 25 mg/day, and doses may be increased by 25 mg every 3 days to reach 100 mg/day (25 mg 4 times daily). Thereafter, doses can be increased by 50 mg every 3 days to reach 200 mg day (50 mg 4 times daily). Tramadol may be taken with or without food.

It seems a little high - is it in tablet form or does she have an IV? The maximum dosage differs between the 2 types.You would be better to voice your concerns to her doctor though and ask them to explain their reasoning as you understand that 400mg in tablet form is normally the maximum recommended dose.

It does seem a lot, I would be inclined to query the dose.Tramadol is addictive and you can also develop a tolerance to it (so you need more for the same effect).As her doctor has prescribed it tread carefully as she might be in so much pain that she needs that amount.We can only speculate, she and her doctor are the only ones to decide what is necessary to keep her pain free. They know the facts, we don't.
