Got my pain meds changed this week. I have hemi-cranial pain and the neurologist had me on indicin, the GD put me on amitriptyline a while back, but my pain was getting worse. He switched me over to Topiramate and Tramadol this week and I have been sick since the day I started it.

Is there any drug interactions going on here that I should be aware of or should I go ahead and make out the will???

I took tramadol for a shoulder injury. Didn't do shit.

Before everyone starts with the "Tramadol does this to me" responses:

ALL drugs have different reactions to different people. While a certain drug may knock me out for three days it may have no effect at all on the next person. this is why the side effects lists are so damn long and have all types of weird effects on them.

OP, go back to your doctor. GD is not the place to rely on for serious health questions.

You, sir, are a HERETIC!!  GD is teh MECCA for advice on all tings medical and relationship-wise, most essentially on how to stay with your wife.  



I was really just hoping that someone with experience might have run into this before, where Tramadol and Topiramte caused vomiting/weightloss.  This week I am out of town, so the doc will have to wait.  I will give him a call in the morning to talk to him, or at least leave him a message.  Did not take either one last night, hoping I don't have so much pain I cannot deal with it.



Good news is that I am down by 10lbs since Tuesday, now I just have to drive to Little Rock for a week while I cannot keep down more than two tablespoons of food at a time.  Yay.



 

For drug interactions, the pharmacist is your best bet.  Doctors know some but don't have near the depth of knowledge on interactions.

Well, I am in Little Rock for the week, so I will just have to suffer.  Right now I am not taking either drug and will stay off either one until I get better or get an answer.



 

Call your pharmacy and ask to speak to the pharmacist.
