Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am currently weaning of 50mg tramadol 2x/day. At the same time I was prescribed Lexapro 10mg 1/day in evening for depression. I get up e very morning nauseous, with dhiahheria and cramps. I am at the point where I am just taking 1/2 tab.(25mg) of tramadol in the AM. Which pill is giving me the problems I am having?
Hello Your symptoms can either be due to tramadol withdrawal or strating of lexapro or drug interactions between lexapro and tramadol. I would suggest you to first withdraw tramadol completely and then start with lexapro. Simultaneously, you can take an anti-emetic drug like ondansetron.
Thanks.
