Default Weird Problem

I've only had this happen maybe 2 or 3 times, one of them being tonight. I would be sitting at my computer, hurting in my back and headache, and then all of sudden I would become a little dizzy. Symptoms would be eyes not focusing clear, feel like im spinning, heart rate speeds up a little but. I'm not sure if this is caused by MS or what it is. Only thing that I took was three Tramadol - 2 at one time then another 1 2 hours later (150 mg altogether) for the pain I was having, not sure if it maybe that.

Could be the tramadol. Dizziness, and sometime nausea are
side effects. Really high doses of tramadol can cause seizures.

I wouldn't take "extra" unless your doctor told you to.
Some people are sensitive to tramadol, and have seizures more than others-- even when no other drugs are used.

If you are still taking that Zoloft?

There is a major interaction warning between these two drugs.
Your pharmacy should have caught that for you.

Quote:
Talk to your doctor before using sertraline and traMADol. This can cause altered consciousness, confusion, poor muscle coordination, abdominal cramping, shivering, pupillary dilation, sweating, high blood pressure, and high heart rate. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment if you take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
150mg of immediate release tramadol (the 50mg tablets) is considered a high dose. When people need higher dose tramadol, the ER form is then used, to minimize risks and side effects.

Please be careful.

That is exactly what I felt in front of my computer a lot! I wrote it off as high BP or too much sodium or something. It wasn't till I tried to get up one day out of bed I was numb on my left side, ran into everything, had a major dizzy spell and fell straight to my knees!

That is when I finally accepted to myself, something is major wrong.

So yes...I know how that feels....scares the crap out of you!
