Question Pain Management Dr.. Pooey!

Ok. I went for the first time to see a Pain Managment Dr, and this guy is the Director of the PM place. They have my records, he has seen the test and diagnosis of Pudendal Neuralgia. So, the nurse was more thorough, and he comes in, listens to me about my health matters, then ups the dosage of Neurontin from 1800 to 2400mg, and writes a script for Ultram for breakthrough pain.. and leaves. Just not a great first impression but since I have never been to one, is this the general way that PM centers are? Just there to write scripts right?
so I currently take an SSRI and Tricyclic and realize that there is an interaction where you can get Seratonin Syndrome if they are taken with Ultram. So I call them, and tell the nurse that I am not comfortable taking Ultram because of that, and she says to take 500mg of TYlenol!!!!
Hello.. that does not help with my nerve pain.. my break through pain..I was kinda ******. So should I not go back there and just see if my PCP or Neuro dc will prescribe something else? I didn't really care for how this dr was.
