Duration of low dose of Tramadol?

[ForeverAnxious]

Hey guys my psychiatrist prescribed me 25mg of Tramadol for my anxiety twice a day for my Asperger's syndrome, anyways I haven't taken one yet because I have to wait till my Wellbutrin leaves my system in the morning. I just wanted to know how long a 25mg pill of Tramadol will last? Thank you very much everyone I really appreciate it.

Tramadol for anxiety's a bit of a weird one... Would you mind answering a few questions?

Where in the world are you?
What was the rationale for prescribing Tramadol over Benzodiazepines/Beta Blockers/SSRI's?
How many days/weeks are you expecting to take Tramadol for?
Why are you waiting for the Wellbutrin/Bupropion to leave your system before trying Tramadol? Serotonin Syndrome?
Apart from the Wellbutrin/Bupropion which you're stopping, do you take any other meds?

I personally suffer from anxiety and use Quetiapine for it. I also take Tramadol ~200mg for migraines. I personally can't envisage 25mg of Tramadol making a difference for anxiety - but then again I'm no Psych

This is going to be SO subjective, but if it does work at 25mg, IMO I'd say approximately 5 hours before it starts to wear off.

I only plan on taking Tramadol until I start to build better socializing habits and build more confidence, and yea I was waiting for the Wellbutrin to leave my system before I took it =). Also I take abilify and guanfacine for hyperactivity. That is all.

Well, abilify for bipolar and guanfacine for hyperactivity.
