Side effects from Lyrica and Tramadol

[Jodii]

Hi All - My husband Erik is currently taking both Tramadol and Lyrica together with Panadeine Forte to control pain for his Chondrosarcoma (bone cancer) in his sacrum. He gets hip pain which is a nerve like pain like a tooth ache magnified 200 times as I understand it. My query is we are not sure if it is the Tramadol or if its the Lyrica that is making him stutter really badly at times. Has anyone else experienced bad stuttering from either or both of these drugs before ?? I'd be interested to hear of other peoples experiences on these drugs. Thanks. Jodii

Hi Jodii I had Tramadol once and it caused a burning feeling in my throat that took 2 bottles of apple juice to get rid off. Could there be a interaction effect between the drugs? I have no idea but maybe worth asking the Dr. Hope your husband finds the answer and best wishes to you both GHT

Hi Jodii, I’m really sorry to hear about Erik's situation. Managing pain with Tramadol, Lyrica, and Panadeine Forte can indeed be challenging, especially with the added stress of Chondrosarcoma. Stuttering can sometimes be a side effect of medications like Tramadol and Lyrica, though it's not a common one. Both drugs affect the central nervous system, and while stuttering isn't a widely reported side effect, it could potentially be linked to how these medications are interacting with Erik's system. It might be helpful to keep a detailed record of when the stuttering occurs and share this information with Erik's healthcare provider. They might suggest adjusting the dosages or trying alternative medications to see if it alleviates the stuttering. In the meantime, it’s important to ensure that Erik's pain is managed effectively while monitoring for any other side effects. You’re doing a great job supporting him, and I hope you find a solution that helps alleviate both the pain and the side effects. Sending you both strength and best wishes!
