Dilated eyes

UGH, guess what happened to me today.  Around 7am I was working and was starting to get a blurry feeling in my eyes, couldn't see the claim numbers I was working on or see out the window.  I went to the bathroom, and there it was, both of my eyes are dilated.  I decided to try to take the tramadol again, asked my pain doctor if I could try and take it again, and started taking it yesterday and today I'm dilated.  I guess I'll never be able to take the medicine again.

I called my pain dr. and he gave me the ok to try to take the med again (Sherry you warned me not to do it) and within 24 hours my eyes were dilated.  I called him back and he told me to never take the medication again, as next time the reaction could be worse.  So tomorrow they are going to be flushed because I can't have that reaction again.

Yeah, it's not worth it to ever take it again.

I totally agree about throwing it out - these past two times it's just been dialated eyes, who knows what kind of reaction might be next!  not worth taking the chance I feel.

I would keep the tramadol put up. You might need it later and maybe if your not on the other med you can take it again if you really need to. I hope your eyes get better fast but like you said it takes 2-3 days to go back to normal.
Hang in there
