Tramadol Used For The First Time 7 Days Before Bilateral Knee Replacement

Updated

Was given this to replace OTC pain meds.

too 2 at 2pm, and a further 2 at bedtime

Alarm got me up at 4 to go to work, on getting out of bed got cold sweats, had a shower to pull myself together.

Drove 5 miles stopped at gas station to vomit due to motion sickness I think. got to office lay on the floor of my office and slept for 2 hours. Was woken by a co worker, on getting up off the floor again vomited. Sipped week tea and by 1230 was "ok" to drive home, there I slept for 4 hours and was spacy until midnight. took till mid morning the following day for me to feel human again.

Doctor forgot to tell me to take 1 to see how they work for me.

Stopped taking them, surviving on no pain medication because the pain is better than the Tramadol solution in my opinion

Hello, Mudman2! How are you feeling? I am very sorry about what you experienced.

Tramadol is classified as a narcotic, so the symptoms you experienced are all normal side effects to taking it, especially if you are on a double dose. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You may want to try just taking one, rather than 2 to see how they work for you.

When is your surgery?

Thanks for the reply, tomorrow am thank goodness, so will survive that long

I saw the side effects afterward, Doc was remiss in not warning me.

Fingers crossed
