Palexia

I was prescribed Palexia 50mg for a chronic neck problem. I had amazing results after all else failed. However, the Dr then gave me the SR meds when he renewed the script and I have unpleasant side effects, which I did not have on the original meds. (Not SR) They were prescribed as 1 a day. Do I have to take them every day like chronic meds or can I take them like pain tablets... when I need them? ## Hi Les - does it say anywhere on your prescription leaflet whether you are supposed to take your medication every day as a form of pain prevention, or whether you should simply take a dose as needed for pain? I've seen immediate release pills for breakthrough pain. Long acting (sustained release) pain meds are intended for around the clock pain relief. Are you familiar with the phrase ...

I am on palexia/ tapentadol 500mg sr and 100mg ir as well as up to 50 mg of oramorph . I eventually get some pain relief after taken the total dose of oramorph which is 10mg every two hours. Instead of having to wait the 8-10 hours for the oramorph to kick in could i safely double or treble the dose of oramorph at the beginning of the evening when i take my first dose ## Hello, Geo! How are you? I'd not suggest changing your dosage, unless your doctor approves. These narcotics can cause depression of the central nervous system, which may result in lowered heart rate and blood pressure, so too high of a dose could put you in danger.

I would like to know which drug is similar to tramadol but can be taken with lexapro? ## Unfortunately, from what I am finding, all of the centrally acting analgesics in that class can cause problems with Serotonin Syndrome, if they are taken with the Lexapro. The same warnings come up for the other options, such as Tapentadol: Has your doctor recommended anything? ## As usual Verwon has been to the reference library. It is true that really only the relatively new to market tapentadol HCl, branded Palexia, Tapal, and in USA Nucynta, is similar in that it is both a mild opioid and SNRI. Tramadol is the stronger drug mg for mg, but is not much more potent than the true opioid dihydrocodeine tartrate. Both of the atypical drugs with SNRI action are partial mu-antagonists. Onset of action a...
