Are Diclofenac And Baclofen Similar To Tramadol?

Hi, my doctor prescribed me to diclofenac sodium 75mg and baclofen 10mg together.. I have previously been on tramadol 100mg once every 12-24 hours as needed but due to my new antidepressant she switched me to these two.. are these two similar to tramadol? And/or what should I expect. I got these for back pain and cramping and I'm curious for answers as to there not being any reviews of the two online. Tramadol works wonders for my pain so I'm hoping there's not much of a difference?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Baclofen tablets is useful for the alleviation of signs and symptoms of spasticity, particularly for the relief of flexor spasms and concomitant pain, clonus, and muscular rigidity. Basically its a muscle relaxant. Tramadol is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain in adults. Tramadol is a strong analgesic, that's why u will get relief from pain fast. You have not mentioned which antideppresants u are taking. Your doctor has changed to diclofenac (which is pain killer) and baclofen because he/she might have foreseen some drug interactions between tramadol and antideppresants which is not safe. I advice u to follow your docs advice and be safe. All the best. Regards
