A member asked:

Is it safe to take vicodin 12hrs after taking tramadol? i have been on tramadol for a chronic issue. i was just recently in an auto accident and hurt my neck. it is the worst at night trying to sleep. so the same dr prescribed me to take a vicodin before

Yes, it's OK: Tramadol would be out of your system in about 8 hours and if the Vicodin is taken at bedtime the only potential issue is sleepiness. Which would help you to deal with the night pain. So go ahead, especially if your doc prescribed them both and recommended both, and if you occasionally need both to control the pain.
