I am concerned about taking both tramadol and the muscle relaxer zanaflex?

i have taken tramadol and a relaxer aat the same time. they go just fine together. the relaxer allows the tramadol to work better and allow you to fall asleep easier.

I agree with Phillip6103, I too have taken Tramadol with a muscle relaxer and never had a problem. I slept better at night and felt better during the day. Hope you feel better soon.

No. There would not normally be an interaction between the two. My pain management spec. had me taking the two together and the combonation of the two just tends to make the average person incredibly tired, hungry, and sometimes cranky. But there should be no harmful side-effects of the two together.

However, many people are unknowingly alergic to Tramadol (Mild allergy) then when mixed with a relaxant it may cause you to experience something like an out of body experience or hallucinations. Mild to moderate. This combonation was not for me as I had these uncommon side effects from an allergy. I am not a doctor but from what I know it is fairly common for a doctor to prescribe these medications together. I hope that helps you.
Get to feeling better soon. Goodluck with everything.
