How can i tamper off safely from the use of tramadol 50 mgs?

Bell

50mg a day? That's not a whole lot. I think the smallest pills in production are 50's.Maybe try taking one every other day, or even instead of taking 50mg a day, take 50mg every 26 hours - then 30 - then 35... The time of day you take the pill will get later every day, but it'll be gradual. You have to be careful with getting off Tramadol not only to avoid opiate WD's, but also because it is has a slight ability to limit synaptic reuptake of serotonin (kinda like a an SSRI antidepressant). This could lead to depression/suicidal thoughts during tapering off. Be careful and maybe see what a nurse or doc has to say. Just call a hospital triage center and see if they can direct your call to someone who can help.If you are taking more than 50mg a day, then slooowly reduce your dose day by day (week by week?). ex. Take one fewer pills in a 24hr period for a week or so - then reduce by one more.If this stuff isn't prescribed for you, face-to-face access to a doc will be more difficult. (Duh.) Just go slow and try to keep a supply on hand to counter WD's or depression. Don't be afraid to call a chemical dependence specialist for advice (if things have gone that far).Tramadol isn't your average opioid (serotonin activity), countering WD's with Hydrocodone or Codeine won't help with the depression if you are taking a lot of it (~200-300mg a day).Good luck, and remember, call someone who can give you a more solid answer if you are at all concerned. (My expertise is limited and shouldn't be a substitute for that of a doc.)

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?

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?

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.

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

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.
