does anybody take tramadol and codeine together

Hi there, is Tramadol Paracetamol? I live in Switzerland and take Co-Dafalgon which is paracetamol and codeine. Hope this helps.

The drugs shouldn't be taken together. The codeine will interact with the Tramadol and can cause respiratory distress and seizures.

Please consult a pharmacist or your GP

Hi hun, I do. My GP has told me to take Tramadol interspersed with co-codamol. Probably best to check with your doctor first though.

I do too. Like Louise I intersperse the doses. Works well for me on really bad days. They first did this for me in A&E and weren't worried about the two together as long as you follow the correct dosage.

Hi my doc says to take paracetamol, tramadol and dihydracodine all in one go to get the best results. Wouldn't recommend it often though xx

Do you take all 3 at once? I was also have all 3 painkillers and use tramadol during the day as it doesn't make me as dopey as dihydrocodeine,but I was advised that I must leave 6 hours between tramadol and dihydro as it can cause breathing problems ( have asthma).I have often wondered if taking more would help? I once took 3 dihydro atonce t see if it would knock me out and let me sleep.

I take them together and Diazepam...dr said it's okay when I'm having a bad episode not every day.

I have taken tramadol along with solpadol codeine with paracetamol have been taking these together for about 5 years now. I just feel dizzy/light headed and will be sick if ive not eaten before taking them and drowzy havent had any other side effects

I take paracetamol with tramadol was told not to take cocodamol with them

[KM1986]

I was told to take them all at once but I don't have any breathing problems. I probably wouldn't take 3 dcodeine in one go but they actively encouraged me to take them together if needed xx
