I just took three tablets of 50mg Tramadol. Will I be okay?

This get's very irritating, To have old questions responded this started in 2014, Let's all check the dates on questions so these don't keep coming up for years for the original Poster, I don't understand why our site does not remove them in a reasonable amount of time.

Hello administrators; I know it can't be that hard and you're all still there because I have had more and more of my answers held and never get posted on questions that someone wants of needs an answer right away.

It depends in tolerance but 150 mg at once can make you sick, especially when you first start taking it as well as slow your breathing. I had a prescription for it for just over two years and it will make you nauseous and you may vomit if you just started taking it. The withdrawals are also worse than vicodin, etc in my opinion.

I'm suppose to take 50mg of tramadol three times daily as needed for pain in my hands,will I be ok. Kind of scared to after reading everyone's responses.

I have taken Tramadol for chronic pain over much of the past several years. The Max. recommended daily intake is 400 mg, according to Rx insert. In our quest for pain relief, we must be diligently protecting our liver, kidneys, heart, etc. Just my opinion, but you're going to be ok with 3. Just get back on track !!! Are you going to have surgery to repair rotator cuff?

Just from my personal experience I was given Tramadol to help my spinal arthritis and my doctor was not aware of the side effects between Prozac and Tramadol and it caused me to have a seizure if you look in any medical book it will say that is one of the most common reactions so I would talk to your doctor I'm not sure what the difference is between Prozac and what you're on just be careful

Hello: chaoskaye. I am on the same medication at 400 mg per day . If you were to ask ten doctors you'll get a different answer on the threshold as far as the highest dose possible. To keep it safe I would not exceed 400mg. I am very tolerant to opioids so I myself take 550 to 600 mg per day. One additional 50 mg pill certainly could not harm you it may cause some insomnia but very little risk of any respiratory depression which physicians are deeply concerned with. Remember it's a schedule 4 drug and it is a synthetic opioid so I feel you're very safe with this drug. As a behavioral scientist I believe you can self direct your care to some degree but always consult your physician if you feel inclined to do so have a great day. I apologize one last thing to consider there is a concern about seizures with this drug going over that 4 to 600 mg dosage. Some individuals choose to take a low dose of a benzodiazepine like Valium in order to raise their seizure threshold.

Although Q asked couple years ago, I'm sure others will come across it, just like I did, so wanted to add my tuppence worth.
I've had severe back pain caused by bulging discs for several years, as well as spinal degeneration and arthritis in all major joints.
Anyway, I take 100mg of tramadol twice per day, along with pregabalin and Duloxetine This combination has given me my life back, after spending 6 months in bed and taking 2 hours to roll over just to to go to the loo!
On the odd occasion, when pain is severe, I might take 3 tramadol together. Usually at night as helps restless legs too. I've had no ill effects from doing so. However, I'm conscious not to do this too often.
I've been told by many that tramadol is more effective when taken together with paracetamol, so maybe you could try this combination?

You really need to follow your doctors recommended dose. This is a very strong pain killer that can have side effects. I would be asking your doctor if you can take Panadol Osteo with tramadol. I find this combination gives me good pain relief

This is in response to a Q? asked over 2 yrs. ahí, but was looking to see what the highest dise of Tramadol you can take in one day. I was prescriben 50mg 3x a Day.
Did nothing for my pain. Started takeing 3 tabs 2x a day & nothing. Today I took 3 3 times. Just took the last 3, so Ill see if it world.
Medications efecto people veré differently.

I want folks opinion on the usage of tramadol in place of Norco I am at 8 a day with tablets of 10 /325 or 80 a day for years. How does tramadol compare to Norco for effectiveness in back pain and neuropathy and any side effects that could impair my daily activities.

You should be fine. I was prescribed 100mg of tramadol every 6 hours, However, be very very careful about interactions with this drug and antidepressants, benzo's, and alcohol. My wife's sister just died and the cause was likely a seizure due to mixing the three. I don't know the type of antidepressant or benzo, but they said there were more and more issues coming to light with tramadol as people got used to taking them and some doctors not really explaining the danger and considering it just a super Tylenol or Motrin..

Hi, you shouldn't take more than 100mg in a 4 hour period, and a maximum of 400mg per day. If you have taken 3 tablets at the same time as a one off you will be fine. You may experience some mild 'hangover' like symptoms. It won't do you a lot of damage. Reading through your notes, you say you have been given the green light to double your dose now??? Hopefully this will be much more effective for your pain

Yes, you will be so don't worry.
