Tramadol/ xanax: https://www.rxlist.com/ultram-drug.htm#side_effects_interactions https://www.rxlist.com/xanax-drug.htm https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/tramadol-with-xanax-2221-0-133-54.html Tramadol & xanax both can cause respiratory depression ( decreased breathing) , Both peak ~2 hours after ingestion .Therefore do not take together - take at least 2-3 hours apart. f/u/ w/ doc

Interactions: if taken together can be very sedating, I suggest 4-6 hrs between doses abd take tramadol as a bedtime dose.
