How do I beat nausea while taking Tramadol?

I've been on tramadol for 5 years for my back pain. At first it may upset your tummy if you take over 50 mg. Also, take it right before you eat..that helps a lot..not on empty stomach.
If you space it out every 5-6 hours..it should give relief. I take about 250/mg a day but never had problems except it can make you sleepy.

I took OTC Nauzene and it helped... now I'm used to pain meds and don't get the nausea anymore? :)

I am prescribed to take this med 3x per day as needed for intermittent pain (btw vicodin doses) but I really don't take it and if I do need it I take no more than one then go a day or more without it, I do have the pain to take it but with the meds I already take per day I get tired of having to take an additional pill and it doesn't seem to work that great. I was prescribed Prevacid for the nausea, it's over the counter but my insurance covers it. I was not aware that Tramadol was so addictive for some people.

I have taken both Tramadol and Ultram, yes, both will take time. Give both meds a chance. Before taking either drug, try eating a slice of bread, it absorbs the acid in the system and will fill your stomach. It helped me. Good luck.

ok first off i wanna start by saying ive been taking tramodol for almost ten years their isant much that i dont know about the drug ive experenced everything from withdraws to nausea to tremors and mood changes. their are two ways to help your nauesa 1. lying down taking a twenty min nap befor it kicks in if possible but if that doesant work for you then try #2. i know this sounds crazy but nothing helps nauesa of any kind from a viruse to withdraw like a good joint if you cant come across a joint the go to a tobacco store and buy you some of that herabal incens it works just as good you just have to get used of the taste honestly though if you dont plan on taking tramodol the rest of your life i wouldent suggest taking them for extended peroids of time they are very addicitave. i hope this helps you out and no i never got used to the nauesa even after 10 years without help from a joint or hearbal incens it is a day to day prolblem

I had no luck with Tramadol, my stomach put up a protest and the side effects made me feel like I was almost hallucinating. In my opinion, I would go back to your doctor and tell him that you cant take the stuff. He will prescribe something else. Its probably a good idea anyway, because from what I hear, its almost as or more addictive to some people than opiates!

Have you tried peppermint tea or the candy with red strpes. I fined it very helpful with tummy ahes.

At one time I was on this drug for extreme pain and a problematic spinal after giving birth to my 3rd child who is now 8 and I was prescribed ultram I think that it was to off-set my nausea... It did work however powerful, and I was a stay at home mom... I was not doing alot of driving, heavy lifting and visiting alot after my 3rd birth... all that needs to be taken into consideration when combining these two, they can make you feel almost drunk and very woozie... blaze22

I took tyl. pm with it and never got sick when I did that

Ultam-same A's tramadol causes nausea and vomiting. It is not listed A's a controlled drug yet, but will be in the future. It is just A's addicting and sometimes more than a narcotic!!! I know that for a fact. If you must take it, request Phenergan 25mg. Tabs to take with it. This will eliminate the Nausea for you completely. But be very careful with this drug. Do not increase your dose. Withdrawal from Ultram is extremely uncomfortable. Anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, diarrhea, cramping, you get the picture. Anyhow, be careful with it. NIK

my dr gave me phenergan for the nausea associated with my pain meds. it worked wonders!

It helps to take Tramadol with food. You may also want to ask for a script for Zophran, which helps a lot with nausea.
Also be sure not to take Tramadol more often than once every 4 hours.

When I first started taking it, it made me sick too. It is a matter of lowering your dose at first until your system adjusts. After raising your tolerance level, you wont feel it as bad. I would still get sick now if I took 150 mgs at one time. Try splitting the pills and taking them six times a day instead of three. This might ease the impact on your stomach as well. Hope this helps.

hi, i was put on ultram, and then ultraset.all i could do is keep a bag with me eveywhere i went. for 2 days it made so sick it was hell. my doc then told me to put it on a list of med allergies. guess its just not for everyone. the worst of it all was that stuff worked on my pain, for 2 hours. then wore off. but the nausea was too much to handle.
