I just quit taking tramadol ultram about 5 days ago cold turkey what do i expect next?

Bud

Please help this is horrible im in day 5 or 6 i cant remember but i feel myself getting slowly better. Im getting my energy back and starting to feel better through out the day more and more. I still have some episodes though. I just want to know what can i expect after day 6 of cold turkey.I am also drinking to help relieve the withdrawals. ANY help would be appreciated

A few more weeks of odd sleep patterns and occasional nausea. I really admire your dedication, because i tried to stop taking my tramadol and I caved in after about 36 hours. I talked to my pain management doctor, and he told me that in order to stop taking tramadol properly, it takes 6-8 weeks of slowly tapering down. He said cold-turkey causes worse withdrawals than any of the traditional opiates or opioids. It's because of it's unique chemical make-up. From what i heard it gets worse after a week, and stays bad for a few weeks depending on how much you took and for how long. I wish you the best. I'm surprised your able to hold down alcohol. After 36-40 hours, my head was pounding so hard, and I was so nauseous I couldn't think about alcohol at all.

My doc perscribed me tramadol and flexeril is it safe to take both ive heard conflicting stories on this?

Krissy

If your doctor prescribed them together, I would hope they referenced their database of interactions before writing the prescriptions.If you want to check up on them (or just verify they didn't overlook something), you can also ask a pharmacist if those two drugs can be taken together... they have access to the same database of interactions and can easily check if there would be a problem. Good luck!

I think if you are having doubts you should ask your doctor, and i would trust him if says its not harmfull



Felica

It is safe. They use different pathways. I take both myself and have no problems. I take 400mg per day of tramadol for chronic pain and flexeril for my muscles. But the flexeril makes me very tired, even the next day when I took it the night before, so I rarely take it unless I really really need to and I don't have to work the next day.

I take tramadol and percocets and my drug screens at work keep coming up positive for pcp why?

Blanche

ive taken tramadol for 2 years now and the percocets for about a month now. i was wanting to know why its doing this and how. please my job is at serious risk.

After your drug screen you have a chance to present any medications that you take to the doctor, if the combinations of all the meds you are taking could possibly be giving the result you have seen, then that will be noted and the test should be considered a false positive. This is only valid if the prescriptions are current and in your name and can be verified by the doctor who prescribed them to you.You can also request a split test (done by two different labs) to see if they will have a different result. I don't see how that combo is showing up as pcp, as a narcotic yes, as flat out pcp... i don't think so.



Celine

i would say its because they are narcotics but pcp is an hallucinogen. So i would probably ask your Doc.



Jackie

Because Tramadol shows up as pcp. It is considered a false positive. Make sure that you tell them that you are taking tramadol and show the prescription if necessary. As long as you have a script for them, they shouldn't be able to fire you based solely on that.



Aldo

it doesnt come up positive for pcp it comes up negative positive, that meens they have no idea if youve taken it or no the drug test cannot detect it completely but finds some similarities. i know a person who almost overdosed on coricidin (tripple c's) and took it for months and when he got a test it came up poitive negative
