Should i take paxil with tramadol?

Miyoko

I currently take paxil for anxiety, but also my pain specialist prescribed me Tramadol for my back pain, but I've heard this can be a dangerous combination? Does anyone know if these can be taken together- I'm fixing the anxiety, but am now back in pain.



Graig

You shouldn't take opiates with SSRI medications because of a condition called Seratonin Syndrome,which can be fatal. Does your pain specialist know you are on the Paxil? Tramadol MAY be okay, because it is not technically an opiate, but binds to some of the same receptors. If your pain doc knows you are on the Paxil and prescribed the Tramadol anyway, then it is probably okay, but you can call his office and ask if you are worried. If not, then for sure call and tell him. Here is the Wikipedia on Seratonin Syndrome, in the meantime: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seratonin_s



Dusty

Ask you doctor or pharmist!



Mallory

It's not reccommended to take Paxil with Tramadol. There is a risk for a dangerous side effect called seritonin syndrome. I would discuss this with the pain specialist and suggest another drug would be a safer alternative. <snip>Serotonergic Drugs: Based on the mechanism of action of paroxetine hydrochloride and the potential for serotonin syndrome, caution is advised when PAXIL is coadministered with other drugs or agents that may affect the serotonergic neurotransmitter systems, such as triptans, linezolid (an antibiotic which is a reversible non-selective MAOI), lithium, tramadol, or St. John's Wort.

Jacquelyne

Hi,I'm in the worst possible pain I suffer from very bad sciatica, and I cant SLEEP, its gotten so bad, even my doc doesn't know what to do for me any more, she referred me to physiotherapy but there is a bit of a waiting list, so im stuck with this pain,I have tried all the painkillers doc gave me and they aren't much help apart for when I take tramadol 50mg and aulin 100mg together. But im just not sure if that's the best idea. Could it cause lasting damage or are the compatible to take together?Please help me; it hurts so much I can't think straight.



Clora

my wife is taking tramadol, gabapentin,ibuprofen, and oralmorph all together plus 4other meds due to brain tumour and its not doing a thing for her pain! my answer would be go to your dr and tell them you need morphine injections, or have what i had done after breaking my back and that was had the sciatic nerve removed . But please seek proffessional advice 1st



Jaime

yes it is safe



Ardelia

why as he not give you strip liquid morphine to take oral not injections said no injections incase you have morphine seek med advice if you have got it please



Lenna

if your doctor prescribed them both to you, even on diffrent dates, they should be safe, or your doctor thinks they will be safe for you to use for a certain amount of time.

DO NOT TAKE TRAMADOL in any form.i have arthritis and my doctor prescribed tramadol it gave me terrible nightmares and the pain did not ease,ask your doctor for meptazino 200mg,they work for me .good luck!!



Carmel

Data sheet for Nimesulide does not suggest any interaction with tramadol. NSAID of other types ar certainly often given with Tramadol. I had to check the data sheet as this drug is not available in UK.

I'd double check with the pharmacist and doctor as it is a narcotic and the dosage is high, above what is recommended for maximum dose, 50% above - from the website I got the below dosage information. www.medicinenet.com/tramadol/artiDOSING: The recommended dose of tramadol is 50-100 mg (immediate release tablets) every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. The maximum dose is 400 mg/day. To improve tolerance patients should be started at 25 mg/day, and doses may be increased by 25 mg every 3 days to reach 100 mg/day (25 mg 4 times daily). Thereafter, doses can be increased by 50 mg every 3 days to reach 200 mg day (50 mg 4 times daily). Tramadol may be taken with or without food.



Isabella

It seems a little high - is it in tablet form or does she have an IV? The maximum dosage differs between the 2 types.You would be better to voice your concerns to her doctor though and ask them to explain their reasoning as you understand that 400mg in tablet form is normally the maximum recommended dose.



Carmina

It does seem a lot, I would be inclined to query the dose.Tramadol is addictive and you can also develop a tolerance to it (so you need more for the same effect).As her doctor has prescribed it tread carefully as she might be in so much pain that she needs that amount.We can only speculate, she and her doctor are the only ones to decide what is necessary to keep her pain free. They know the facts, we don't.
