Symptoms Of Respiratory Depression

Benjamin Said:

Can tramadol induce or worsen depression and anxiety from abuse?

We Answered:

You are in a bad situation. Tramadol is a pseudo-opioid which has some actions like morphine but it also acts like an SNRI class antidepressant. The maximum dose at one time is 100 mg and the maximum daily dose is 400 mg when taken orally. Doses higher than that can very easily cause seizure, insomnia, agitation, and the others symptoms you have. Tramadol is basically a mild narcotic with almost mild amphetamine actions, especially at a high dose.

I really recommend you see a doctor because you are having problems from the drug. And Tramadol is a drug where there is a set in stone maximum dose, anything about it can cause serious problems. A benzodiazepine would probably be a good option. It will increase your seizure threshold and make you more comfortable. And your risk is even higher because of the Lexapro, which increases serotonin and you already have too much serotonin from the Tramadol.

Veteran's Compensation Question?

We Answered:

Well, where do I start ?
I don't think anyone will be able to explain how or why they do, or do not do things at the VA. I submitted my claim many years ago, when I finally got my rating it was for 10%. The VA said if these conditions(of which there were three) were present I would have qualified for 30%. Well guess what they were addressed and substantiated, I resubmitted the paperwork. Got the 30%, 20% of which was retroactive back to the initial filing, it then took about seven years to go to 70%. Note all of these problems were documented by my Army Hospital records. The DAV got me 100%, based on the fact that I was unemployable, because of the 70%, and the care I was getting at the VA Medical center in Boston.

Hang in there get someone from the VFW, American Legion<,or AMVETS to represent you.

I'm worried of overdose....?

We Answered:

In my opinion i think you should talk with your doctor and tell him or her about your pain maybe he or she can give you one stronger dose so you don't have to take two or maybe the doctor will recommend to take the second dose but you should really ask your doctor.

Bradley Said:

Do you have any of these conditions?

Aspartame cannot cause Lyme disease, but Lyme disease can cause fibromyalgia.

I agree with you, aspartame is very nasty stuff. It should never have been approved for human consumption.

Discuss It!
