Don't ask here - ask your doctor, and your pharmacist both.
Here, you may get anyone claiming to be an expert, and you have no way to know if they're telling the truth, or lieing to you. You might as well ask your plumber for advice about doing your hair.

Tramadol is an opiate and xanax is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines and opiates are well known for increasing the toxicity of the otehr especially respiratory depression. I would be cautious and speak to your doctor. Also if you have been using xanax a long time you can't just stop it as that in itself can be dangerous as you can get the withdrawals from hell like severe anxiety, psychosis and seizures etc. See this page http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/

I take ultram without the tylenol, and was told that i can take ibuprofren with it. If you are taking the ultram with the tylenol in it then I would contact a pharmacy and ask them.
I am not sure what is in xanax.

what does it say on the prescription info sheet you were given with each medication...they give sheets like this for this reason....you could always call the pharmacy where you filled these and ask the pharmacist
