Numb arms and hands: Reaction to Tramadol?

Posted by jmb73 @jmb73, Dec 15, 2021

I took 50 mg of tramadol yesterday. I don't know if it's related but at 4:15, I woke up shaking, dizzy, and couldn't feel my arms or fingers. I used my rollator to walk to the bathroom and thought I was going to be sick plus I now had a headache. I couldn't get my fingers to grip anything. Then I went back to my chair- where I sleep- and took a saltene and some water as my hands were getting better but they didn't tingle. I took my blood pressure and it was 86/55. Any ideas? Thanks Joan

My neurologist said it was a reaction to Tramadol and to never take it again!
