Doctor says ok to take tramadol with xanax. is this cortect?

Not at the same time: stagger doses by 4-6 hrs. Could be very sedating to take these medicines together.

Dr Liang agreed

It is ok, but...: Both are sedative medications, and should not be taken simultaneously. This is especially true since the half life of Xanax is long - up to 16 hours, whereas Tramadol has a shorter half life of roughly 6 hours, so there will be overlap. Talk to your prescribing health care provider to ensure its clear how they believe administration will be helpful to you and avoid side effects.

Dr Sanders agreed
