Can I take 10 and Tramadol together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and tramadol are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they both slow down brain activity and the parts of the brain that control breathing. When taken together, their effects are added together, making the side effects much more powerful and dangerous.

You must not drink alcohol while taking tramadol. Even small amounts of alcohol can significantly increase the risk of life-threatening side effects. If you feel unusually sleepy, have shallow breathing, or feel faint, seek emergency medical help immediately.
