Taking tramadol and alcohol together can lead to serious side effects and overdose.
The FDA warns that mixing alcohol and tramadol can be very dangerous and even deadly.

Tramadol is a strong pain medication. When mixed with alcohol, tramadol causes side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, extreme sedation, slowed breathing, coma and death.
Alcohol withdrawal can also increase tramadol’s risk of seizures.

If you’re taking tramadol, always talk to a doctor about how long you should wait before drinking alcohol.
