Hi All, Oh Philipa! I haven't heard from you in years (last post). I appreciate everyone's input. I'm actually already on Vimovo. This is a new RX of Naproxen with pre release Esomeprizole (stomach protectant) plus the Enbrel also acts as anti inflammatory so yu can imagine I must have hypersensitivity to pain. I have 800mg RX ibuprofen as needed.
It also does not help that I take Adderall for my unattentive ADD. I think the Effexor plus Adderall plus Tramadol equaled disaster. Yes, Philipa I do believe there are different levels of Seratonin Syndrome. Per your question, I have a leadership position so I was able to stay at my desk. I just sat at my desk and texted & talked with husband & best friend until it passed. They both stuck with me worrying i would faint or fall. It was the most awful feeling ever. The Neurontin is probably what saved me from seizure. Yes, tramadol has a risk of seizures. My head was wobbly & it most certainly affected my CNS, concentration, focus, caused numb emotions, raised temperature (without sweating) etc. The following day, I had diarrhea & upset stomach. I was told to expect this.

I'm already weaning off of Effexor. I started taking the beads out little by little yesterday. I don't think Effexor has done anything but increase my OCD thoughts & disorganization.
Yes, I've heard about Tramadol's positive effect on the brain, anxiety & OCD. Its very interesting and someday I believe it will be marketed as a sleep & psych RX. For now though I cannot take it. Its too bad! I do have Peroset but don't want to take it because of the chance of opioid rebound pain & getting hooked. I know... so complicated. I am now looking to find a different RX to replace Effexor. Not just because of this incident but because it doesn't work for me.
I will keep you posted.
