The most commonly reported adverse drug reactions are nausea, vomiting, sweating, itching and constipation. Drowsiness is reported, although it is less of an issue than for opioids per se. Patients prescribed tramadol for general pain relief with or without other agents have reported withdrawal symptoms including uncontrollable nervous tremors, muscle contracture, and 'thrashing' in bed (similar to restless leg syndrome) if weaned off the medication too quickly. Anxiety, 'buzzing', 'electrical shock' and other sensations may also be present, similar to those noted in Effexor withdrawal. Respiratory depression, a common side-effect of most opioids, is not clinically significant in normal doses. By itself, it can decrease the seizure threshold. When combined with SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, or in patients with epilepsy, the seizure threshold is further decreased.
Wow!! Extremely concise answer! : )
Hi, you might want to consider the Diclofenac causing the diarrhoea? I've taken Tramadol for years, & if anything, I get the opposite effect that you have. I have had loose movements with Diclofenac though. Just wanted to let you know this...
Yes that's exactly what happened to me also I had muscle spasms really bad, chest pain ,drowsiness butt no pain relief at all for me( I literally felt like I was dying) so therefor I refuse to take it again I have migraines, carpal tunnel, and back pain had a 10 day supply but for me 3 was (#$!!) So I stopped oan I had slight fever too
Diarrhea is a common side effect of tramadol.
