I think you took tramadol before and it did not do much....but it is something I am pretty sure is non narcotic and do not believe it contains acetaminophen.....but I am not 100% sure of that....

I am glad that I had both the cell and home number because cell was just going to VM but then when I called I woke you up too....:0(

Just glad u are ok....hugs and good luck with the medication adjustments....I dunno any of those you are on now from personal use side but have heard of a couple here....just not medical pro so I dunno much and am not a doctor too...so listen and do trust your MD Dr. V.

Hi Bill. I found out from Dr. V that Tramadol actually has an opiate component so it actually somehow turns into an opiate after some time. And I have heard from others that it's almost more difficult to get off than something like Norco. I'm not so concerned about the Opiate as I am the Acetaminophen. I also take a migraine medication that contains Acetaminophen which caused my insurance company to send letters to Dr. V and Dr. P that I am receiving too much of it. Now that I'm off the Norco, that should take care of the problem. I think I will have Dr. V give me a blood work up on my liver anyway. So, I could still use some ideas about break through pain meds. Maybe the Tramadol would work if he gave me a higher dose than he did before. Anyone else have any luck with it? Thank you guys. Hugs

Bill, I'm so glad you got through to Grammy.

GRAMMYBEAR, I'm so sorry I'm just seeing this now as I've been out for a bit. Sending up prayers for healing, much diminished pain and much brighter days. Please don't ever forget how much you matter and how much your loved!

Geeze that gave me a fright the title. Havnt logged in for a while.

So glad u r ok.

GB the rock for so many people on here. Thank you for always being there.

This isnt advise just my experience with tramadol, i woke up with a stroke/seizure type feeling one morning after being ok on it for a week or so. But it could have been something totally unrelated.

Also I think you need to be careful with it and anti depressants?
