Question by Tyler: How many hours should I wait between Oxycodone & Tramadol?
I just took an oxycodone for my back pain, although Tramadol seems to work just as well & that is what I have left after this. I was wondering how many hours should I wait in between before I take the tramadol, because I know you are not supposed to take them together. Thank you for your time!
I don’t want to take them together, I just want to know how many hours after the oxycodone wears off can I take the Tramadol?

Answer by SilverLynx
Before I give you an answer, I need you to consider a few things first:

1. Oxys take about an hour to work. If it hasn’t been an hour, please do not take anything right away. They also have a half life of 4 hours (but I’ve had them last as long as 12).

Question by hushlam: How to wean off Hydrocodone?
I’m going to wean off hydrocodone. Been taking about 6-7 10mg pills a day for few months. Does anyone have advice on how to wean myself off and do you think I will experience severe withdrawals? I’m scared. Thank you.

Hi.

Well,when it comes to weaning off any opiates….one should expect to experience some amount of withdrawals.
But,if you really want to wean yourself off,and hope to experience less withdrawals(still experience some amount though)?
You should slowly taper off by 1 half a tablet per day until your completely off the Hydrocodone.
This should make the weaning much easier for you,as well as the withdrawals.
Make sure you stay well hydrated during the weaning process,and also try to eat a well balanced diet during this process also.Remember? Being scared is to be expected when weaning off opiates/an addiction.So,keep focused on your goal,and taper off 1 half a tablets per day until your completely off the Hydrocodone altogether.Done!
You’ll get there.Just remember to stay focused on your goal….getting off these things once and for all! 1 and a half tablets per day until your completely off.Stay well hydrated,and eat a well balanced diet.Good luck to you.
