Pages: 1 Tramadol - Michelle?       #299542 - 02/11/07 04:30 PM Edit Reply Quote feelinggood Reged: 09/11/06 Posts: 745 Hi MIchelle, I currently take cipralex 10 mg. for my anxiety/depression but the physical aches and pains still bother me. I spoke with you recently regarding pain meds and you mentioned Tramadol. Does it play with "C"? I take plain tylenol bu t need something stronger - codeine works great but I understand that it can cause "C". I am wondering about just tylenol 1 as it does not have as much codeine.

I have taken tramadol on a few occasions and its pretty mild as far as pain meds go. Pretty much all pain meds can worsen c but I agree that this would be worth a try as it is the most mild. You can always take it with some stool softeners it you seem to be getting more C. I avoid all the codeine stuff as it makes me nauseous and very sick to my tummy! I have recently switched back from D to C. I think one of my meds I was taken was causing the explosive D. However, I now find myself taking two stool softners in the am and two in the pm. I have a ton of miralax left over from before but right now, the stool softeners seem to be working ok. Another idea would be to ask about Cymbalta. C is listed as a side effect but it is an antidepressant that also helps with pain. I have yet to try it but I have heard many good things about it! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time..... Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
