Re: anesthetics + Drugs Interaction !

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your email Bobbie,

Well, a part of anything else, I remembered when I have done a very

small plastic surgery ( eyes upper lid ) in Brazil, I had a bad

problem with anxiety and breathing problems at the theatre. I was

taking an awful medication called TRAMAL. I do not know if in US is the same

name. It takes more than 1 month to be off your system this drug, and I did not

know...remember that I took that drug because a very bad pain on my both hips.

Well, I forgot to inform my doctor because I was off Tramal anyway, but at the

theatre I had this complication and no one

understood why.

My doctor afterwards told me that he was losing me because of my

breathing...blood pressure was going down and down...can you imagine

it??????

My doctor could not finish my lower lid because of that!!!!

I was very ill and very excited, talkative, and nothing would stop

me from crying, crying...and neither do I understood why I was like

that...it was Tramal + anaesthetics that done all that!!!!!!!

Much later, I decided to find more facts about this drug...when

realized that Tramal was an opiate type! Sorry do not know if it is

like that the spelling! opiate? from opium.

Now, This goes to everyone please:

Always write down all the medications you are taking NOW...and even

the ones you took before...just to play it safe!
