Hi Phillipa, well my pdoc said stay on same drugs, up xanax if needed, (and I had it so low for so long-- but he reminds me there's no hero points given for not taking meds when necessary), email him. He, my pdoc is not convinced about stopping tramadol. I suspect he may note mood improvement. He was against it at first (worried about seizures).

It's my back doctor that prescribes the tramadol. I think he thinks since it isn't controlling pain, I need to switch to cymbalta or savella. But he is diligent about tapers. Yeah, I think my difficulties were sped along by not taking tramadol for two days. I can only say duh. If I don't hurt, I guess I forget. The complete lapse wasn't intentional.

Pdoc is definitely not keen on the above. And since he's worked so hard to stabilize me, he doesn't take any change lightly.

I can hang in there, right?

Thanks Phillipa
