What Causes Nausea And Dizziness While On Tramadol Post A Salpingectomy?
Question: I recently had a salpingectomy. My NP prescribed me Tramadol 50mg for the pain, to be taken 1-2 tabs every six hours as needed. I took a dose of 2 (100mg) around three hours ago. Then, about an hour ago, I started to feel quite ill - nauseated, dizzy, drowsy, a light headache, anxious, etc. I hadn't eaten in about six hours so I guessed maybe it was my blood sugar dropping. After drinking some juice and getting some carbs into my system I do not feel any better. Well, maybe a little less nauseated, but I am laying down and the drowsiness is making it difficult for me to even keep my eyes open or focused as I write this.
I am a 25 year old female, otherwise extremely healthy and lead an active lifestyle. I don't drink or smoke and I eat well. I have a prescription also for Xanax but have not taken any. I am not on any other medications. I am a little tired from this week, several nights of only 3-4 hours of sleep... but the drowsiness I am experiencing just seems excessive. Can you please tell me what is going on and if I should be concerned?

Hi
greetings
I understand your situation.
tramadol is a very good analgesic we often use for post operative periods like in your case.
I think some people are little sensitive and they get this nausea and dizziness.
I feel you should have taken 50mg after food.since you have taken on almost empty stomach more severe these problems. Now you can take paracetamol for pain after food.
I don't know the brands available there but if you can take either Capsule Rabeprazole or pantoprazole 20 or 40 mg along with domperidone 10mg 2 or 3 times will give you some relief. you can also try with some antacids.You can discuss with your treating doctors.
. can also try drinking more fluids.
You will be alright soon.
feel free to ask your doubts with more details. Regards

The nausea has all passed at this point, however I am so uncontrollably drowsy... I am fighting to keep my eyes open, and I feel like I can't get up to do anything. I keep nodding off a little, waking up suddenly because I'm trying to stay awake and then I feel like I haven't been breathing..

Or else and if you are not alone you can sleep for some time with the tablet you already have.(alprazolam).
Drink more fluids and eat well.
