Can you take Ultram (tramadol) and xanax together?

My DR is on vacation for a week and the nurse doesn't dispense medical advice. So if you know, please let me know. Thanks.

I've been feeling nauseous on and off the last few days. but only when I'm hungry. for example, when I don't eat, instead of feeling hungry when I usually do, I feel nauseous. I've already chugged some pepto bismol(actually a generic brand called pink bismuth) but It hasn't done anything. I'll go to the doctor to see what it is, but for now I need some quick fixes. anyone know how to make the nauseous feeling go away?

i get a lot of migraines, and the neurologist put me on topamax today. has anyone actually lost weight while on it? the dr told me a side effect is weight loss, so that's good but should i expect something massive or gradual or just a little bit? i need to lose abouto 40lb lol. also, this might sound stupid, but what is aura? is it just a halo you see with a migraine? anyway i am pretty happy to have this med, weight loss or no. my migraines are coming a lot, even spent a few hours in the hospital crying because it hurt so bad. serious answers only please.

I just had breast reduction surgery three days again. The pain meds my doctor gave me don't work very well. Can I take Nurofen Plus for the pain instead?

I'm in my early-mid 20's. I have bad headaches that pretty much stop everything I am doing. Some weeks I practically live off excederin migrane. This helps them go away. I'm not really light sensitive during these. I know they are starting by a pressure in my temples that continues on to pain.

I also get a different kind of pain. Once in a while, out of the blue, a streak of pain will begin at the crown of my head and flash foward toward my forhead. It only lasts a second by it hurts so bad that sometimes it makes me scream. These pains have been occuring on and off since I was 17.

The only head injury I had in the past was a sub-dural hematoma when I was about 11 or 12. It healed by itself, with no need for surgery.

Anyone got any clues on what's wrong with me?

I would appreciate any input from all of you with RA and on this or any other arthritis medication.

Side effects especially, I get at least half of the side effects for any meds so I am concerned that my Rheumatologist wants me to start this one.

Thank you one and all for your medication experiences and any help you can give me on coping.

I get headaches, a lot! Migraines (sp?) do run in my family, on both sides but everytime I tell the dr. this it's like she doesn't really take it seriously, she said that she thinks I am having them right now b/c my wisdom teeth are impacted and I have to get them cut out this summer. My aunt drinks gatoraide for her migranines and she said it works it helps a little bit, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything other then tylanol, advil and excedrin I could take for my headaches until I get my wisdom teeth out??

I'm 41 and I have osteoarthritis on my spine. But I find that an accident on my leg when I was 17, which use to never bother me anymore, is what aches me the most. My leg and my foot, seems to act like a new/recent injury ache.
Do old injuries tend to ache like in the movies and they say that a injury can tell when bad weather or cold is coming? (in regard to arthritis)

My husband has been so upset with me lately. I have been taking at least 4 Tylenol PM's a night and regular during the day. I suffer from SLE Lupus and I am in chronic pain and have a heck of a time sleeping. I have been doing this for about 6 years and he thinks I am killing my liver and kidneys. Should I be worried? It is just Tylenol.

Why does this happen? It only happens at the moment I get the fright. Almost, if not simutaneously.
