Warnings About Tramadol for Fibromyalgia

Thursday June 17, 2010

NEWSBRIEF: The warning label on drugs containing _tramadol_

(http://drugsaz.about.com/od/drugs/tramadol.htm) (_Ultram_

(http://drugsaz.about.com/od/drugs/ultram.htm) , _Ultracet_

(http://drugsaz.about.com/od/drugs/ultracet.htm) ) now includes the risk of

suicide and overdose. Tramadol is a pain

reliever that's often prescribed off-label to people with _fibromyalgia_

(http://chronicfatigue.about.com/od/whatisfibromyalgia/a/what_is_fms.htm) .

The FDA ordered the change because of increased suicide risk in people who

are prone to addiction, or who are also taking anti-depressants or

tranquilizers; and also because of tramadol-related deaths in people with a

history including either emotional problems or abuse of alcohol, tranquilizers,

and other drugs that impact the central nervous system.
