Is it safe to take tramadol and phentermine together?

Annabel

I'm on tramadol due to chronic knee pain from multiple reconstructions and I have hypothyroidism so my weight loss doctor prescribed phentermine.

You should tell your weight loss doctor about other medications you are taking, so he can be aware of drug interactions when prescribing new ones. I'm not aware of any interactions between common pain medications and Phentermine, but I'm not a doctor or pharmacist.If you have hypothyroidism, why doesn't the doctor simply give you thyroid hormone? Phentermine is an amphetamine-like appetite suppressant. It's addictive, and should only be used short term in conjunction with diet and exercise. It's really only for people who are at high medical risk because of their obesity, and for whom the risks of obesity outweigh the risks of the medication.

Call your doctor's office & ask - or - ask your pharmacist - he will know.

Anyone takes effexor xr and tramadol? someone told me it is not safe to take together?

Earl

Effexor XR is 150mg and Tramadol 400 mg per day(100mg) tablets. Does it mean I only can take 1x4 times daily or can I take more if I do not get enough pain relief and still stick to 400mg per day?



Kizzy

Taking the two together increases the risk of seratonin syndrome, a potentially dangerous condition.Talk to your doctor.

How is ultram a narcotic? look it up shes not talking about tramadol?

Dalton

Ultram (tramadol is the generic name) is a narcotic because it blocks the mu-opioid receptor. This is the exact same mechanism of action as morphine, codeine, etc. The main difference is that tramadol is not addictive and isn't associated with quite the same side effects (respiratory depression, bradycardia, constipation).



Emerald

Ultram or Tramadol is NOT a narcotic. Go to 10 different sites and at least 3 will call it a narcotic. The other 7 will call it non-narcotic. I don't want it to become considered a narcotic. I like the fact that people think it is just a weak opioid. This way I can enjoy the sweet euphoria I get from relatively small doses of this unique pill. 627 all day man,627....
