If tramadol is an ssri why would they prescribe it as a medication for people in chronic pain?

Debrah

and then also put the same patient on a second SSRI and an SSI all at once? Are the doctors chemically illiterate and can't see it's an OD of serotonin?

The difference between tramadol and ultram er?

Eugenio

I've been taking Tramadol 50 mg for a while, and recently my doctor prescribed me 14 Ultram ER 300mg, and says to take only one a day. Im wondering what are the difference between these two? Are they the same thing but one has more mg, or are they completely different? And which would be more effective?



Ressie

They are exactly the same drug but Ultram is slow release of 300mg across the day whereas 50mg of tramadol will only last you a few hours. If you have chronic pain, an extended release like Ultram is probably better, giving you a baseof pain relief across the day, rather than letting it build up. By the way, Paracetamol and Tramadol(or Ultram) work well together and do not interfere with each other.Add- yes but with the 50mg, your pain level will go up and down (according to when you took the tablet) so if it's long term pain, I would stick with one 300mg tablet a day.

Can tramadol or any other prescriptions such as vicadin show up as thc?

Elli

My fiance and I are totally against drugs, and I know he doesn't secretly smoke it, since we are both here 24/7. And yet as accordance to rules where we live we get randomly drugged test, and his showed up with THC in his system....so just wondering.



Rufina

While normally the THC test would indicate the use of a cannabinoid, here are a list of the substances known to cause false positives on THC tests:Dronabinol (Marinol)Ibuprofen; (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin, Excedrin IB etc)Ketoprofen (Orudis KT)Kidney infection (Kidney disease, diabetes) Liver DiseaseNaproxen (Aleve)Promethazine (Phenergan, Promethegan)Riboflavin (B2, Hempseed Oil)If he was using one of these, it is slightly possible that he would get a false positive on a screen.If they did a confirming CGMS it would likely confirm whether or not he had used cannabis.He might be able to ask for a retest if he avaoids the use of these substances prior to the test.



Celestina

If THC showed up in his test, he's been stepping out somewhere to smoke. Some people will say that being in contact with Marijuana smoke can cause THC to show up in urine, blood, or hair analysis--but that's been debunked. The only way for a test to show THC is if he's been actually smoking.Opiates (Tramadol and Vicodin) will show up as Opiates and Opiod derivatives.

I have been taking 6 tramadol a day for a year i just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant will my baby be ok?

Beverlee

I have been on 6 tramadol a day. Dr perscribed like that for a year. I just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant. I read the reports and know that it is a class c drug and know about the possible effects to the baby. I am wondering that even though i took 6 a day for 5 weeks of my pregnancy will the baby have all or any of those problems if i stop taking it now? Anybody know?



Exie

I took tramadol and vicodin and still do, you'll be fine and your baby will be fine, don't try and stop taking them all of the sudden though because you and your baby will go through withdraws and trust me that's not fun.



Christia

A lot of women get prescribed pain meds during their pregnancy, make sure that you tell your doctor. I think 6 is a little much, but just ask your dr. If you stop now, taper off, so you don't go through withdrawals b/c you will if you don't taper off. If you do stop now more than likely your baby will be fine. Good luck



Elmira

I was taking about 4 tramadol a day when I found out I was pregnant. My doctor told me that he wasn't worried that damage had occurred, but he recommended that I not take them anymore. I had my 20 week ultrasound recently, and so far, the signs all point to a healthy pregnancy. Some pain medicines are safe. I'd talk to them about which ones are best or worse. My pediatrician prescribed me lortabs for a bad ear infection. They just gave me a lesser dose than they would have if I wasn't pregnant. I had tylenol 3 at home and asked if I could take those. He strongly urged me not to as codeine is known for being one of the riskiest of pain medicines when you're pregnant.



Christinia

go back and see your doctor. i think 6 a day is alot.
