The new FDA warning about Benzos

I had taken Tramadol for a few days about a year ago. My Dr. called and said do not take any opioids even Tylenol with Oxazepam. I did a search on the web and the FDA has a warning about serious drug interactions with the combination of any Benzo and these drugs. Benzos have been around for years and years and the FDA just issued this warning.

Anyone hear anything about this? I am wondering if we can use a pain relief rub since Tylenol is listed as a Analgesic

The FDA is including all benzos, I checked Oxazepam because I take that. I have never seen anything on my script print outs about taking pain meds, Now there will be warnings, Where has the FDA been all these years. I was given Tramadol at the E R for back pain, they knew the meds was on and still gave it via I V and a script.

Actually most of the interaction checker sites err on the side of caution...so it's always a good idea to get clear information regarding your Rx's and OTC meds from your doctor or pharmacist.

I hope you get the info you need and a good idea on how to proceed with your meds.
