Does tramadol 50 mg make anyone else itch?

If I take two within 24 hours yes, however, the directions say to take it up to 3 times per day for pain. After taking this medication 7 1/2 months I regret it no longer helps with my neck nor my back. Not sure what to do oh and The ITCHING! That just started recently .

Yes it's driving me absolutely insane I just can't stop the itchiness...

Yes it makes me itch for the first hour or so once in my system but I don't take daily I take as needed for migraines and my Dr said it was a common side effect that I could take Benadryl but wait at least 30 minutes yes after the tramadol to take and yes it does help.

Yes, it sure does. I've tried all kinds of pain relievers and all the opiates make me itchy but the one thing I found which is a non-opiate pain reliever that works for me is diclofenac sodium topical 1%. It used to be prescription only but a couple months ago it was approved to be over the counter. Good luck!

Ive been on tramadol for a few month.. at first my nose itched, now my head feels like I have bugs crawling and biting me all the time. I have a place on my lower back that has sores and a place under my tummy.. Always itchy,,, With all the precautions of not touching your face because of the Covid 19 virus, its impossible for me to go 2 minutes without scratching somewhere. I tried Benadryl, but I don't notice much relief.. I have severe Neuropathy in my feet, and that is why Im on tramadol 100mg.. I cant get any sleep if I don't take it. .But now with all this itching, I actually find myself scratching in my sleep.. What does anyone take to stop the itching?? thank you

Hey there jball59, Tramadol didn't make me itch. But also found it useless for pain. I've been prescribed most everything for pain, over the years. Currently on hydrocodone. But the stronger ones like Percocet and Dilaudid made me scratch so bad that I have scars! The best to you...

I began taking Tramadol today & they making my entire body itch . I took 1 before going to bed @ 9pm and it’s almost midnight and I can’t go to sleep for itching.
I need something to stop the itching from this medicine

I have been on Tramadol 100mg for a few days and the itching is driving me crazy. It's especially bad on my feet, arms and back. But I can't complain seeing I have no pain at all.

oh my, thank all of you for speaking up. I am going crazy. even buzzed cut my hair to make sure my scalp was ok. ugh. I have been taking tramadol for a long time and then I switched to a new arthritis med and bam! the itching started. I thought I had bugs. where ever my hair fell that skin area would itch. my hair thinned out of my head. hair got oilier and scalp came off in little flakes that were hard like sand. I itch all over. but this is a problem for me now. I have no other pain med to take and my Ankylosing spondylitis is not cooperating. oh well guess I will tell the doctor anyway, and try to figure something out. thanks again everyone.

Yes, my lip and tongue were swollen and I broke out in a rash that lasted two weeks and was worse than the incision. I kept pictures for my doctor. I broke out the 3rd day and landed in the ER one day after my hospital release.

I take a very low dose and find I am super itchy on my head and neck! Seems like it happens several hours after taking it.

YES! TG, I found this site. I recently had SCS surgery for low back pain and was prescribed Tramadol temporarily. It only took a few days for me to determine this was the cause of my itching. The back of my neck has a severe rash and hubby said looks raw. Also, raw areas at my bra line and areas on back and midriff look like long deep cat scratches. I now am using Neosporin. Wish I found these answers sooner since I am ending my Tramadol use soon.

I take 4 x200mg slow release, I itch like I have fleas,but I feel that wasted that it didn't bother me.. Keeps me awake..

I have stage 3 kidney disease and thought my itchiness and little sores were from my kidneys not working.
I actually stumbled on to this site and I take Tramadol a lot for my pain in my back and elsewhere.
Anyway, I itch really bad at night and thought OMG I have bed bugs! But, I don't. Thank God, now I realize it is from the tramadol. Guess I'll have to just live with it.

My eyes are what itch me the most and my hair. I am so glad I'm not the only one going through this. I hate that I've developed an allergy to this medicine as it is the only one that helps with my fibromyalgia.
