Tramadol to Hydro: There is no real wait time. Instead of taking a TRamadol you can start with the Hydrocodone its quite a simple process. This assumes your dose are reasonable.

Raising Pain Rx: This is a big increase in pain Rx. Wait 24 hours. And realize that hydrocodone is strong and much stronger than tramadol. Be wary. Take first dose in evening. Dont drive after first couple of doses. Discuss cautions with your doctor. Read pharm paper.

You dont: You don't have to wait although some people become addicted to tramadol may have or not have withdrawal symptoms because hydro condone is related but much more addictive in fact may be better not to discontinue tramadol so you don't have to take as many hydrocodones
