I would speak to your doctor if I was you.

I wouldn't take anymore..
I'd definatley stay clear of them and phone your doctor.

It sounds like an allergic reaction.

Tramadol are a very strong drug and will make u light headed etc and maybe a bit sick, but the rash and swollen leg and toes and face could just be a side effect.

I would give NHS Direct and they can tell you whether it is just a side effect.

Do you want me to get you the number?

I would stop taking them you have an allergic reaction by the sounds of it is there a leaflet in with the tabs that should tell you possible side effects or allergic reactions and whether to stop tking them or not, not sure if ive had these the name is familiar what tabs are they.

I found that although they were an effective drug , they made me feel ill and very sick,

so i had to stop taking them .

Thanks guys im not taking anymore, and im gonna do the nhs test thingy and see what it says, but the swelling has gone down, and the light headedness has gone, thank god, but i wondered if its a mixture of the 2, cos he gave me these, and paracetamol 500mg to use with each other

I agree with haeveymolly hun - the swollen face and rash means that you have had an allergic reaction to an ingredient in the tablet - maybe even to the drug itself - so you should stop taking it and contact your doctor for a different pain killer.

Sending you thoughts to help the allergc reaction go away and to help you cope with the pain until you get some different painkillers ((((((((hugs n kisses)))))))

edited to add: no it won't be the mixture of tramadol and paracetamol - they don't interact like that.
