Kann ich Fluoxetin und Tramadol zusammen einnehmen?

Warum das passiert

Both fluoxetine and tramadol increase the levels of serotonin in the brain. When used together, these effects add up and can reach dangerous levels. Furthermore, fluoxetine blocks a specific enzyme in the liver (CYP2D6) that is responsible for converting tramadol into its active, pain-killing form. This means the tramadol may not work as well for your pain, while the risk of side effects actually increases.

You should speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. They may prefer to prescribe an alternative painkiller that does not interact with your antidepressant. If your doctor decides you must take both, they will monitor you closely. Seek urgent medical help if you experience extreme confusion, shivering, very high fever, or muscle twitching.

Serotonin-Syndrom

Taking these medicines together significantly increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Seek urgent medical help if you experience high fever, agitation, confusion, or muscle twitching.

Under 25 years old suicidal thoughts

In children and young adults, fluoxetine can occasionally increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide when first started; you must be closely monitored by family or a doctor during the first few weeks.

Epilepsy or Seizures

Tramadol can trigger seizures, even at normal doses. This risk is much higher if you have a history of epilepsy or are taking antidepressants like fluoxetine.

Breathing Problems

Tramadol is an opioid and can cause dangerous breathing difficulties. It must be used with extreme caution if you have asthma or any chronic lung condition.

Bleeding disorders or use of blood thinners

Fluoxetine can increase your risk of bleeding, especially if you are already taking medicines that thin the blood (like warfarin) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen).

Diabetes

Fluoxetine can affect your blood sugar levels. You may need to monitor your blood glucose more closely as your dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicine might need adjusting.

Alkohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Combining alcohol with fluoxetine or tramadol can significantly increase drowsiness, dizziness, and the risk of breathing difficulties. Both medicines, particularly when combined with alcohol, can impair your coordination and judgment. Additionally, combining alcohol with certain antidepressants can increase the risk of liver damage.

Koffein (Kaffee, Tee, Energydrinks)

Fluoxetine can increase the effects of caffeine in your body. This may lead to feeling jittery, anxious, or having difficulty sleeping. You may need to limit your caffeine intake.
