Post Here is a link to a drug interaction checker:

For tramadol + Prozac this is the result I found for you:

Quote:
1 potential interaction was found for the drugs you selected.

You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

* Prozac
* Tramadol

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

TRAMADOL may interact with FLUOXETINE (in Prozac)

Both fluoxetine and tramadol have an effect on serotonin, a chemical that is found in the brain. Excess levels of serotonin in the brain may cause serious or potentially life-threatening side effects. Early signs of this problem include increased confusion and restlessness. Other possible symptoms may include weakness, fever, nausea, and anxiety. In rare cases, high levels of serotonin in the brain may cause severe complications like seizures, stroke, and even death. If fluoxetine and tramadol are used together, your doctor may want to closely monitor you for side effects. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered major in severity.

Many doctors do NOT understand drug interactions. You can visit your
pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to print it out for you. Alot depends on doses used, and your own reactions to both drugs. People who are high
serotonin types genetically would have more side effects.

We have a Medications forum here, with links in useful websites, to search for information concerning drug questions.
