Tramadol washout time

[Middleway]

I have been on tramadol for a week or so and I am starting Parnate tomorrow which is an irriversable MAOI. Do you think a day would be long enough to lose any seriton9in reuptake inhibition caused by the tramadol?>
Thanks

Considering the sideeffects that I felt after 6 days on tramadol (200 mg in a single dose each day), I would recommend a bit more. Maybe 2-3 days, to be on the safe side.

Edit: ...But I'd like to add that tramadol itself is removed quite fast from the body due to extensive liver metabolism. My estimation of 2-3 days safety-period are solely due to the aftereffects that I felt.

Considering that a combo of SSRI + MAOI can be very dangerous I would definitelt say wait. Better yet, ask your doc.

One day is definitively too short,while the half life of Tramadol is 6h,its metabolite has it at 8h.If its not SR!So 2-3 days is recommended.

I talked to the Pharmisist and she seemed to think I would be ok at about 40 hours since my last dose. I had some, feeling a little itchy and sweaty but I have a fevor at the moment and it could just be the parnate, I think I will survive.
Thanks for your replies
