Is it safe to combine tramadol and ibuprofen?

Kourtney

I've done it once or twice but I'm a little worried what the longterm effects of combining them will be. I have really bad hip pain and was given 400 mg of ibuprofen but it stopped working after a while.



Roxanne

yes its fine



Dierdre

I take it with Ibuprofen all the time...its fine

My dog and i both get prescribed tramadol?

Aldo

I know it makes me high, when she takes it (the dog) she seems happier and spunkier than normal so I was wondering if it makes her high too



Brendon

Tramadol does nothing for some people, like the first answer stated, but it causes a very pleasant euphoria for others. I get sort of high from the amount that I'm prescribed. It is a stripped down analog of codeine and as such it does hit on opiate receptors and is an opioid. For whatever reason, it can be completely ineffective for 60-70% of people that take it, that's a fact. As for pets, I disagree with the previous answer from the vet. I worked at a local kennel, mostly cleaning up crap, but also watching vets care for the dogs and cats. I saw dogs act elated after a dose of Tramadol. Some seemed drowsy and others seemed fairly normal, but with a little more tail wagging. I'm sure she is way more experienced then me, but i think they get high off that doggy dope.

I'm not surprised. My vet recommended children's Benadryl for my dog's seasonal allergies and he seems to get pretty zonked out from them. I'm actually more surprised you get a buzz from tramadol. They did absolutely nothing for me after a car accident.. didn't even take away my pain or make me tired and I took the maximum dose that I was allowed.But anyhow, yes, I think the meds could affect the dog in the same way as it does to a human... but it could also be the possibility that she's just happier because her pain (or whatever she was prescribed them for) isn't bothering her anymore.

Well if I was in pain and the medication took my pain away then yes I suppose I'd be in a much better mood. That's probably what is happening with your dog.It can affect dogs differently just like it can affect humans differently. Not all people get high from it, and not all dogs feel that way either. My dog was prescribed Tramadol after her surgery to remove a tumor, and she seemed to whine CONSTANTLY when on Tramadol. Now some people would say that was not the meds but her reaction to the pain, only she didn't do that when I withheld the medication... so I'm guessing the meds made her feel loopy in a way that was uncomfortable for her.



Kory

No it does not make them high. Some dogs it can make sleepy. But it does not affect them as it does humans. It is a very widely used pain management medication in vet medicine



Amelia

Do not listen to CVTvette she has no way of knowing. This very well could be from the pain relief. I doubt their have been any studies done to see if this addictive to dogs or if they would seek it out compared to a placebo. Your dog could definitely be getting a little high or notice increased euphoria and comfort just like you. Dogs can behave similarity to humans after given doses of morphine. This vet maybe ill informed about tramadol(the drug companies originally thought it would not produce any euporhia or addictive properties since it wasnt a typical opioid, but they were quite wrong). just look on online forums, i also have personal experience. tramadol is like a cross between Vicodin and codeine but longer acting.

How do i beat tramadol addiction?

Catherina

I have been on Tramdol for 5 yrs. I don't take it for pain, I take it for pleasure, to be happy with myself, and things I do. Without it, my life is boring, hellish, and I hate myself.

Starkissed, did you read the PI sheet that the pharmacy gave you when you started on your Tramadol? One of the serious side-effects listed in the PI sheet is addiction. For that matter, even a cursory Google search on 'Tramadol' would tell you that it can indeed be addictive. Every reputable reference that comes up on the first page of a Google search mentions that Tramadol can be habit-forming and that it should therefore never be prescribed for a patient with a history of addiction to drugs or alcohol. (For that matter, all of the less-than-reputable Buy Tramadol Online! sites that pop up on the first page ought also give a clue as to its abuse potential!)Jake, I'm sorry that you feel your life sucks so much unless you self-medicate with Tramadol. From what you say, though, I'm thinking that if you really want to quit this habit, you're going to need some outside help, possibly including some counselling. You don't seem to be in a place where you'll be able to kick it on your own. I'd recommend you look for a detox center close to where you live. Even if you don't choose to do the full-fledged check-yourself-in thing, they can still advise you on how to proceed and may also connect you with a doctor who can help out with the withdrawal symptoms.You might also find a narcotics addiction support group very helpful: while Tramadol isn't technically a narcotic, it acts very much like the opioids, and from what I have heard, the withdrawal symptoms are very similar (and sometimes even worse). Talking to other people who have gone or are going through the same thing can help a lot.Good luck.

Tramadol is a synthetic opiate. You can't be addicted to it.



Bea

Prescription drug abuse may require the help of professional addiction treatment services. There are resources available online but you need to assess what will be best for you. Relying on the drugs can severely reduce the quality of your life. I hope that you get the help that you need.



Lucio

It is not yet too late to seek for help for treatment. Avoiding drugs and alcohol is much easier when you are constantly being looked after. There are always counseling sessions to attend, 12-Step meetings to go to, group discussions and a variety of other activities that continually keep you focused on recovery and keep you occupied as well. Go to rehabilitation in order to keep you away from that addiction. You know that it is not right and it would cause you harm in the future. If you care for the people close to you better quit it now and seek help for treatment.



Angelica

Get professional help. Look into some rehab centers that offer detox programs and inpatient care. After detoxifying your body you should participate in other programs such as individual counseling, group therapy, etc, to help maintain your abstinence.
