Codiene Xanax And Ultram

Updated

I took 200mg codeine in cough syrup and usual .5 mg of xanax at 830. 2 hours later I had a splitting headache and took 50mg of tramadol. I'm slightly concerned because of brochitis and respiratory issues I've read about. Is this safe?

My findings state that there are in fact potentially unsafe interactions that apply to all three of those medications. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of:

Applies to: Codeine, Ultram (tramadol)

"Ask your doctor before using Codeine and Tramadol together. Using these medications together can increase your risk of seizures, breathing problems, and other side effects. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. Tell your doctor if you have weak or shallow breathing, tremors, restlessness, seizures, or problems with speech, balance, or walking. Avoid driving until you know how the medications will affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor."

Applies to: Codeine, Xanax (alprazolam)

"Using Codeine together with Alprazolam may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor."

Applies to: Xanax (alprazolam), Ultram (tramadol)

"Using Alprazolam together with Tramadol may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor."

I think the Codeine together with Alprazolam (xanax) is what may have triggered the headache; but adding Tramadol to the mix was a potentially dangerous combination. Did you end up having to seek any sort of medical attention afterwards?

Is 1500 nanograms per ML excessive in a UA? I take 1 x 3 times a day and when I was tested it came up that I had 1500 nano grams, my doctor said that was a great deal to have in my body. I have taken with doctor scrip 1-2 x 3 a day before. I have been on T-3 for over 4 years. Please let me know if this is a mistake since he prescribed them. By the way my pill count was never off. Please inform me of any studies or web site that deal with this question.
