> You've got other meds in there so it is hard to predict interactions. I do not agree with replacing tramadol with nortriptyline. Makes no sense to me.....take a patient off of something that works, and put them on something we don't know anything about. Huh??? Ok, I understand, tramadol has addiction and tolerance issues, pretty darn strong ones actually, but if you view what patients have to say at drug rating forums, the ones that found tramadol helpful to them were all willing to accept the dependence as a fair trade off. And they willingly accept that if the day ever comes where they have to get off it, it will be really nasty. But as long as someone is doing well, I dunno, I guess it is an individual decision, I would say don't fix it if it aint broke.

That's EXACTLY how I feel, bleauberry. And, I'm on such a low dose of Tramadol and haven't had to increase it. Coming of off ANY psych drug is no picnic, including Lexapro, so yeah, I'm not worried about the tradeoff.

Thanks.
