I indeed came across an article yesterday which pointed out that there are intriguing chemical similarities between tramadol and Efexxor. Stahl has said that Geodon is like a mini-Effexor; tramadol, on the other hand, might be like a 'super-Effexor'... (With a 'super' withdrawal syndrome..)
> I talked to my doctor today and she said that she has a lot of patients on Ultram with an SSRI and it is no problem.
That sounds like good news. If these patients are not in a persistent vegetative state, at least. ;)
I might post a new thread for the following question, but does any of you guys know if there are people who have been taking tramadol long-term (I mean for years on end) without losing effectiveness and without having to up the dose to astronomical levels?
