Hello! I’ll be having surgery soon and just picked up my meds. The pharmacist warned me not to take the Gabapentin and Tramadol prescribed for my surgery together due to potential for an adverse reaction. I’m allergic to Bactrim, so no muscle relaxers due to the sulfa. Is it common to take Gabapentin and Tramadol and should I be worried about a potential side effect?

Answer: Post breast-aug meds Dear Letsgetthemdone, every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Meds Gabapentin and Tramadol work well for many women, but should not be taken at the same time. You can alternate these drugs. You can also add Tylenol if needed. Muscle relaxers, like Valium, do not have sulfa and can be very helpful when implants are placed behind the muscle.
