changing meds

Hello went for Dr. visit. Dr. took me off norco & put me on tramadole. I take pramipexole will it be ok to have tramadole also>

[Madlegs1]

Yes- but why? I would have thought there would be no need for Pramipexole if you are taking Tramadol - that is- if we are talking RLS.?

[Hidden]

As madlegs said yes you can take both together. Is the Pramipexole not working..? What dose is the Pramipexole. Or is the pain med for another issues you have..

I'm not a doctor, but I find the best way to take tramadol and pramipexole together is to get a cup of room temperature flavored water, put the tramadol on the back of your tongue, and take three quick gulps of the water. Then get a paper bag, put some rocks in it, dump in the pramipexole, then throw it in a lake. The tramadol should kick in by then and you can enjoy the rest of your evening.

Funny and I have to say I so agree.

Two Tramadol taken before bedtime help me to sleep for about 3 hours before my legs start kicking. Any more Tramadol than that and I feel like a zombie next day. But the combination of two Tramadol plus the lowest dose of Pramipexole allows me to sleep through the night and function the next day.

I also take a combination of Tramadol and pramipexole and have found great success, sleep well every night, only minor breakthrough RLS.

ok so I feel something is triggering my darn legs. I wonder if it is even restless legs because they my feet & legs want to draw up like when you have a charlie horse . More like spasams. I will say this it is taking a toll on me. Has anyone heard of Botox for RLS ?
