Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for writing into health care magic.
This is Dr.Riyanka, glad to answer your query.

Methadone and tramadol when taken on the same day can cause undesired side effects like seizures and breathing difficulties. Taking it on a single occasion might not cause these symptoms in every patient but if you take it regularly then it can get hazardous unless prescribed by your doctors and dose adjustments have been made. 40 mg of methadone is a high dose and so is 100 mg tramadol.

Do not take these combination. Discuss about this with your doctor.

If there are any more clarifications, kindly write back to me.
If you are satisfied with my reply, kindly close the query and leave a feed back.
You will get well soon. Please don't worry.
Thank you,
Dr.Riyanka
