Allergic To Tramadol

Updated

Are there other meds in the same class that I need to stay away from. I have been on tramadol for years. In the last three days I have been experiencing face swelling and itching which started out slowly but progressively has gotten worse. Today was worse than any previous day and I noticed got worse each time I took another pill so I am stopping taking them.

Hello, Maria! How are you? Has there been any change?

Anytime you experience such an allergic reaction, it is very important to stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical attention. The NIH warns that such reactions may become worse, with repeated exposure.

As to which medications to watch out for, there is really no definitive way to say, there's a chance you could be allergic to other opiates, or any given class of medications.

I have figured out what the problem is. I have also been taking polyethylene glycol which is Miralax. Tramadol has that in it and I guess I have too much of it in my system now so I will stop taking both of these as of now I have a chemical sensitivity to these. Thank you for all your posts.
