Tramadol Chloride

[Ben1505]

Hi, I had a hernia repair on Friday afternoon (NZ time) and was discharged yesterday. I wasn’t keeping track of how many Tramadol tablets I was taking and it looks like I have take 13 in the past 24 hours (2 at a time max). Is this too many. Can I just ride it out and wait for it to leave my system? The half-life is 6 hours.

Hi Ben, the recommended dosage is no more than 8 tables (400mg) total in

a 24 hour period unless your doctor told you differently. Take care. x

How are you doing? How's the incision look?

What was the dosage for the tramadol? Did you over medicate? Is that what you mean.

[Ben1505 in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes, I over medicated. Wasn’t really keeping an eye on what I was taking and now feel a bit out of it.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Ben1505]

You might want to call someone and ask about that.

take 2 motrin 200 mg. then 4 hours later take a tylenol 500 mg then back to motrin 4 hours later and so forth. i did not use prescription pain pills. the pain will subside in 5 or six days

That's way too much stop. You need to follow doctors orders. Switch to tylenol or something. You shouldnt be in that much pain

They should have given you something stronger. Next time, call the doctor and tell him it’s not working and that you need something stronger . Tramadol is basically an antiimflammitory drug not pain meds
