wonder if you could take plain benadryl? for some people it makes them tired, use it as a sleep aid, others it does the opposite.
Did you call your md? bizi |

Here are the results: http://www.drugs.com/interactions-ch...221-0,1115-648 There is a major interaction between tramadol and SSRI drugs like Prozac. Your doctors should be made aware of this, as sometimes they don't know all the interactions out there. |
Hi again, and further notes on interactions
Hi Belle,
I am glad you are getting your meds back! :) The interaction MrsD was talking about -- it's basically that both Tramadol and Fluoxetine increase serotonin levels because both inhibit serotonin reuptake (SSRI action). The danger is Serotonin Syndrome, which can be fatal, so do, please, discuss your treatment plan with your doctor. I'd like to add something though. Even if you do not develop this syndrome you can end up with excessive serotonin in the nervous system. This can cause symptoms like undue nervousness, agitation, muscle tension, and possibly excessive sweating. You could also have emotional symptoms like dysphoria, manic reaction, or if your mood was already off, the combination of these drugs could make it worse. It isn't all or nothing: one can get any subset of these symptoms to any degree. --------------- If you ever take triptan drugs (for migraine) or cough medicine/drops containing dextromethorphan, these meds will further contribute to the interaction (increased risk of Serotonin Syndrome), so ask your physician about these as well, if applicable. --------------- I've used sertraline (an SSRI like fluoxetine), tramadol, and zolmitriptan concurrently but only the sertraline was a daily drug. All three of my doctors were aware of all the meds, but only my neurologist seemed conspicuously aware of the interactions. He advised to make a dosage adjustment to the sertraline when I had to use one of the other two. waves |
