When I use it I find that it makes me constipated! So it is not like a NSAD.Does tramadol cause the digestive problems that NSAID's cause?
Does tramadol have any anti-inflammatory effect, or is it solely pain relief?
thanks.
It is not anti inflammatory.
There is a little know interaction between Sam-e and tramadol if I recall, for anyone who may be doing methylation supplements and using tramadol, risks serotonin syndrome. I loved tramadol, on and off for years in small doses, but I think it left me more prone to twitches in my sleep (mild seizures?) and cognitive decline; would keep an eye on the latter especially.
Cognitive decline! yikes! Does frequent serotonin syndrome cause cognitive decline? what's the cause?
