Can anyone tell me if there is a chemical difference between the tramadol for a dog and for a person?

Broderick

I am trying to find out if there is a chemical difference between the 50 mg tramadol prescribed by a vet for a 46 pound dog, and the 50 mg tramadol prescribed for a human. If there is, what is the chemical difference?



Aretha

There is likely no difference. Many drugs used for humans are used in dogs. It's all the same or it would be called something different.



Daniel

There is no difference at all. It is the same med.Tramadol makes me projectile puke! LOL I was a little concerned when my girl was put on it after my reaction to it.



Jolie

i work for a vet and once was prescribed tramadol for myself after surgery - i don't think there is a difference - it is a lousy pain medication



Doug

Nope. It's the same.

I want to quit taking tramadol how long do i have to wait before taking subutex?

Johnie

I have been on Subutex for 3 years, because of pain pill dependency. Because of my bulging discs, I had to take tramadol for a few days for pain. But now, I want to go back to subutex. Thanks



Lezlie

to prevent withdrawl you should wait several half-lifes of the opioid you were just taking[1]. The half life of tramadol is 5-7 hours[2]. so 24 hours after taking tramadol you will have 6.25 of the dose left in your system. As you appear to have been clean for 3 years before your back problem it is likely that you wouldn't go into the same withdrawal you experienced 3 years ago.



Carie

Driz 11 has got some basic pharmacology right but has missed the main point: Tramadol is a synthetic opioid and as such has no physiological addictive properties.You are more at risk from stopping your subutex than you ever will be from stopping Tramadol after a few days use ..

Clarine

is there aaything more effective than tramadol for back pain (disc crumbling)



Veola

Once you go a level up from Tramadol, you enter the world of narcotics. The key is to blend Tramadol with something like Naproxen (250mg twice daily) , or maybe extra strength tylenol, which will in effect create a drug of its own. I like Tramadol, for my pain it seems to last longer then traditional opioids. I take it with Naproxen and a little Promethazine for the slight nausea.

I take amitryptaline at night which seems to be helping me a bit Valium is good for relaxing the muscles. my doc told me that no doctor can ever make anyone pain free and I shouldn't expect to be 100% pain free anymore. if its long term i suggest you try to get off the drugs. it sucks. x

There are many different tablets you can take. You have to try them and see which ones work for you. I have taken a few but not found the right ones yet. One will work but upset my stomach for instance so it's on to the next one to try. You have to go back to the doctors each time and eventually you will find one that works for you.



Eura

there are a few stronger pain pills you can ask your doctor for... just tell them that this medication isnt doing much for your pain.I get that for my jaw pain but also get some hydrocodone which helps better with the pain. Lots of drs dont like to prescribe a narcotic, and tramadol isnt a strong narcotic so some drs feel better tryng to give you that for awhile, its supposedly less addictive as well, but in my opinion doesnt help a lot with chronic pain.

After suffering with back pain for ages I can tell you there isn't anything like getting the muscles released, it took care of all my pains. I have compressed discs in my back so I was in lots of pain and nothing I did or took made them go away until I did the releasing of them. Here is what I did to get rid of the pain in my back:Back: (do from a sitting position)Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.

Like said earlier m8y - see your doctor. But while you are at home do this - it worked for me until they found scar tissue growing on the nerve in my spine. Fix a bar between two walls and just high enough to be out of reach. Once the bar is secure you simply hang by your hands from it. Your spine will be straight and the pressure is released. Do this for as long as you can but do not overdo it. I am on morphine for my problem but your doctor will help you. It is surprising what they know! Good luck.PS.
