Increase in pain, need a med to rotate with Tramadol.
It's been a long time since I've posted.
Background information:
I have tried with no luck Cymbalta, Gabapinten and other forms of anti-depressants.
I’m taking:
Lyrica (150mg twice daily) with some relief.
Tramadol (100mg as needed) pretty good relief.
Here's the issue. At times I take tramadol every day for like a week before I notice it’s not as effective and I need to increase its dosage. At about a week of daily use I also feel like I start to become dependent. I then have to go off it for maybe week so it's as effective, also so I don’t become dependent on it.
If anyone has had success with other forms of pain medications that could be rotated on a weekly basis with Tramadol I would appreciate the input.
Thanks!
