Im taking Trama 400mg per day with 300mg Lyrica.

let me say I could halve the Tramadol and put up with a little burning to avoid dependence. The thing is Tramadol works for me at 400 with zero burning and Im not worried about dependence because the PN is with me for life .

Regarding dependence yep there I times I don't need my full dose but I take it anyway just to feel a bit dumb n happy but its no different to Booze really.
