Does Taking Tramadol, Trazodone Cause Swelling In Ankles, Numbness And Heaviness In Left Arm?

I was wondering if Tramadol 50mg and Trazodone 50mg can cause my ankles to swell. I have been taking these medications for about a week and just started to noticed my ankles are swelling through out the day and more so at night. Should I stop taking these medications together? Also, I am feeling numbness and my left arms feels heavy; I believe this is a panic attack but I don't think the swollen ankles are connected.

Hi there.

The ankle swelling is definitely not related to these drugs.
Ankle swelling usually occurs due to prolonged standing and walking or due to blood pressure lowering medicines

The other side effects could be caused by trazodone.....althought this also is uncommon .
Stop trazofocefor a while and see if the symptoms subside...this would be the bedt test.....

I hope my advice has helped
Good luck
