There is a moderate drug interaction with tramadol and zofran.

http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...21-0,1752-1120

Tramadol has to be activated by the liver to its active metabolite in order to work. So there can be a delay of up to hours before you have pain relief. So people often increase dosing...before that can happen, and then they end up with significant side effects.

I for example, cannot tolerate tramadol in high doses...causes terrific nausea for me. So I only use 25mg (1/2 of a 50mg tablet). And even then I reserve it for really bad nights only.
