Drug Mode of Action ::  

Tramadol inhibits reuptake of norepinephrine, serotonin and enhances serotonin release. It alters perception and response to pain by binding to mu-opiate receptors in the CNS.

Drug Interactions ::

Increased risk of convulsions or serotonin syndrome w/ SSRI, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), TCA and other seizure threshold lowering drugs (e.g. bupropion, mirtazapine, tetrahydrocannabinol). Decreased serum concentrations w/ carbamazepine. May potentiate the anti-depressant effect of norepinephrine, 5-HT agonists or lithium. Increased INR and ecchymoses w/ coumarin derivatives (e.g. warfarin). Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of seizure and serotonin syndrome w/ MAOIs.
