A member asked:

Can you alternate tramadol and tylenol (acetaminophen) #3?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Yes. That shouldn't cause any problems. Just make sure you take them as prescribed. More than 8 of the 50 mg tramadol tablets per day can cause grand mal seizures.

Yes: Yes but i would recommend taking one of them since they are both short acting pain medications.
