Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory medication. Tramadol, although it does stimulate the opiate receptors it is not considered an opiate. They are in completely different classes of pain medication. However, several recent studies have determined that combining tramadol with an NSAID, such as naproxen or ibuprofen, produces a far greater benefits than using either drug separately.

Vicodin is an opiate and therefore addictive, naproxen is an NSAID . both are used for pain but naproxen is probably safer and non-addictive. The drugs both have side effects but the ones from vicodin are more serious. For acute pain it probably doesn;t matter but taking either of these for more than 2 weeks should only be done with a doctor's OK.

Tramadol is better, when I was in the Army they prescribed me 500mg Naproxen for chronic knee pain and it really didnt do anything for me.

When I got out I started getting Tramadol for it and it knocks the pain right out.

Is it bad to take 1 Aleve and 1 Tramadol at the same time your Doctor told you to take this?

Aleve (naproxen sodium) is an NSAID. Tramadol (tramadol hydrochloride) is an opiod receptor, serotonin releaser, and norepinephrin reuptake inhibitor. There is no contraindication listed that would prohibit taking one of each if prescribed by your doctor.


Which is more potent Motrin or tramadol?

These are two drastically different drugs. Ibuprofen largely decreases prostaglandins and works at the site and on inflammation. Ultram primarily blocks sensory information to the brain and the perception of pain is decreased. I wouldn't compare these two drugs. The answer to your question is better addressed in regard to why you are taking either of these.

Yes it does. But not to the extent that stronger opioids do. It is much weaker than oxycodone, morphine etc. Constriction of pupils is most common when somebody overdoses on tramadol.

Would carbamazepine naproxen and cycobenzaprine and tremadol give a positive reading on a urinalisis for opiates?

Tramadol is not an opiate. It is an opioid, which is a synthetic opiate. It will not show up on a basic drug test. Naproxen will not give a false result for opiates on a drug test. It will give a false result for marijuana.
