Hi
Is it ok to mix Tramadol/amytriptyline and cold meds ( beechams extra ) together? im asking because i have just had a complete white out while at work. I woke up this morn with a stinking cold and have dragged myself into work relying on cold meds to get me through. I have also taken my daily dose of normal meds and 15 mins ago came over dizzy, had a cold sweat, palputations and nausea.
hiya
i wouldnt mix tramadol with any other medication-in truth i wouldnt take it. however,i accept thats ur choice. i have been taking amytriptyline and paracetamol with no issues at all. can u check with a pharmacist in morning? or nhs 24? but i suspect they would suggest taking no more til u speak with pharmacist or gp.
i hope you feel better and hope someone can advise you soon.

Hi Ellie,
Thanks for your reply.
Yep just looked online and looks like some people do have a reaction with the Tramadol and cold remedies. Seems as well to be higher % of women. Looks like I will have to ride out the cold unaided!!

hi again
try steaming yer heid-in english that translates to having head over a bowl of boiling water-clears the tubes. BE CAREFUL but helps greatly.
