Contrave And Tramadol

Updated

My doctor believes there will not be a problem using these 2 together; perhaps it just diminished ultram's effect only. Has anyone ever taken the two together and can assure me that might be the only effect?

Hello, Brenda! How are you?

The Bupropion in the Contrave can increase the effect of Tramadol, while the Naltrexone can decrease it, but those are the only issues listed by the FDA between these medications.

The FDA classifies Tramadol as an opioid and warns that it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Contrave may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, nervousness and anorexia.

Can anyone that's taken them together chime in with their experience?

I also take Tramadol for OA just once a day or so. Sometimes don't need it on good days. I am interested in trying Contrave. Just wandering what experience you have had with the two if you don't mind sharing.

Has anyone had a problem with balance when taking Tramadol and Contrave? I have tried two different times to take Contrave and have become off-balanced. I did stop taking Tramadol before starting Contrave, but maybe I didn't wait long enough...

I take tramadol and I took one contrave. I had a horrible dystonia reaction. I ended up in the ER. It was the worst physical thing I've ever experienced. Never want to experience that again. Doctor told me to throw it away!!!
