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.

Xanax is not a problem.
But do NOT use Ultram if:
you are intoxicated with alcohol, other opioids or narcotics (eg, morphine, codeine), sedatives or sleeping medicines (eg, temazepam, zolpidem), or other medicines
you are taking nefazodone, carbamazepine, or sodium oxybate (GHB)

Combining opiates and benzodiazepines (xanax is a benzodiazepine) can lead to an overdose with respiratory depression. It depends on the dose though of both drugs. If it is not a high dose then it the risk of overdose is probably low. Xanax as with other sedative/hypnotic drugs are highly addictive with severe withdrawal symptoms so it would be more dangerous to stop xanax abruptly than taking xanax with tramadol because abrupt withdrawal from drugs like xanax can cause life threatening seizures, psychosis and a whole load more. Xanax is not the healthiest of drugs to take.

Yes, you can take them together. Be sure NOT to drink alcohol with it, though.

Sure, it shouldn't be a problem.
