Rybix ODT (tramadol) can cause side effects that could affect your performance on the job. Some people who take Rybix ODT, which is prescribed to treat moderate to moderately severe chronic pain, feel drowsy or experience a loss of muscle coordination. You should not drive a car or other vehicle, operate heavy machinery or use dangerous tools when you start taking Rybix ODT until you know how the drug affects you. If you're concerned about how Rybix ODT may affect your ability to work, talk to your doctor.
