I have a client who wears fentanyl patch. Can she take tramadol while wearing this patch?

Tramadol don't work for real pain, at least for me anyway. Fetanyl is the first thing that has worked and has not given me a "buzz". It is nice having a steady stream of pain meds. All other medication I have tried has a lot of ups and downs between doses not fetanyl. It gives me a lot of relief for the first time. Tramadol was just a joke and did nothing for me at all. It is important to use the correct dosage and to only use the patches as directed. I have read stories of stupid people eating the gel out of the patch and OD'ing. So please don't kill yourself and play around with the patches. I hope you find what works for you. I don't see any problem with going directly back to Tramadol if it works for you. I know you can take both at the same time without a bad drug interaction. Best of luck.

I take 120 4mg Dilaudid and 180 Tramadol 50mg. So yes Fentanyl is basically the same to Dilaudid and morphine., except on a weight to weight basis, Fentanyl is much stronger, any where from 100 to 1000 times stronger than morphine, depending on the fentanyl type, of course you just get a lower dose, such as fentanyl is in mcg instead of mg as morphine and Dilaudid are.

I do take Tramadol and Fentynal and it seems to help the neuropathy due to failed back surgery. There seems to be a debate and sort of a conflict with my pain clinic and my PC. Why I don't know tramadol is not classified a scheduled drug even though it is OPOID LIKE. My pain clinic is strict and I only get 25mmg of the fent patch and I need more help. This is the only drug my PC could give me without me getting in trouble from the pain clinic. I had a drug test from the pain clinic and I dont know why I don't even drink or smoke pot? They know I am taking it and said nothing it showed up in the drug test and I told them I was taking it. There is always a nebnose nurse at my PC office that causes a fuss once in a while but then I have to shut them up and tell them to mind their own business. Why take something away that helps when you don't have any other choice but to jump off a bridge.

Yes, there are many occasions when different pain medications are prescribed together to give better pain control or to get pain relief faster, while waiting for a time released medication, like the Fentanyl patch, to being working.

She should be informed, however, that they both can cause CNS depression, so she has to watch for signs of severe problems, like lowered breath rate, lowered heart/pulse rate and low low blood pressure.

It can also cause more side effects than usual, so she may experience worse dizziness, drowsiness, nausea and constipation.

Also remember that any other medication and medical conditions must be taken under consideration when using medications, so make sure her doctor approves of her using both.

Are there any comments or questions?
