How many tramadol equal 10 mg hydrocodone?

Answer 1

No. Tramadol is a synthetic with an opiate base. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic. In addition, Tramadol is a partial agonist. The two are not similar other than the fact they are used to control pain.

Answer 2

4

These medications are not equal. Tramadol was designed as an SNRI (antidepressant), and has a weak opioid component. Tramadol's pain relieving action works best on neuropathic pain. Hydrocodone is a semi synthetic opioid derived from codeine, as such it has better pain relieving effects. lf Tramadol is your only option at this time, bear in mind that it is combined with acetaminophen thus, should be used at maximum to 8 tablets per day.

Answer 3

You should not self medicate. You should only take drugs prescribed to you by a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) who will ensure that the medicine is actually what you need to effectively treat your condition and will be trained on what medicines react with other medicines.

Answer 4

You do not want to take two habit-forming pain killers together. Take the tramadol for moderate pain. If your pain gets worse, after a couple of hours you can switch over and take the hydrocodone/APAP combination for severe pain. Remember to take both of these just as the doctor said. Overdosing on either of these can be very dangerous.

Answer 5

None. Tramadol is a synthetic opioid, you will not get the same effects from it as from the oxycodone. But if you are seeking relief from withdrawl symptoms then take 4 and see how you feel.

Answer 6

I'd say that 150mg of Tramadol would roughly equal 10mg of Hydrocodone. Keep it in mind that this is just my personal experience and that everyone is different!
