In reply to Ultram and Celexa, posted by MamaB on December 21, 2003, at 12:16:56
> Hi y'all,
> Been awhile, but I am still here. about a week ago I messed up my knee playing tennis. (So what is an old lady like me doing playing tennis ?) I may need surgery, but for now its heat and alternating Vicoden and Ibuprofen -- neither of which is doing much. Sooooo-- now the doc (who knows me well) is considering switching me to Ultram, but says he is hesitant because of my being on Celexa. I have read all the info and understand his hesitancy; What I would like to know is if any of you have had experience with the Ultram while on an SSRI?
> The other thing he told me is that Celexa is soon to stop being manufactured, March of April. He mentioned that I might want to switch to Lexepro. Anyone out there made that switch?
> Any advice on either matter would be greatly appreciated. MamaB
Hey MamaB, good for you playing tennis! I always feel perversely proud of a sports injury...hmm.
Anyway, I have taken more than a few ultram with several SSRI's and never have a problem. Except the problem with ultam not working all that great for pain. Works better if I take with some ibuprofen.
