.........realize that there is an interaction where you can get Seratonin Syndrome if they are taken with Ultram........

I do believe that this has to do with dosages.
I'd PM Mrs D (unless she answers this first), and ask her about it.
She has prior knowledge of this particular interaction, I believe.
I think that taking them together, in this case, might be OK.
Your experience with the pain Doc is typical, altho not in the majority.
They pride themselves on the ability to Dx pain types and Rx for them- on the fly. The proper Rx is their goal.
They'll keep trying until they either get it right, give up on you,
or you give up on them.
But with follow-up visits. A call to the nurse, if there is a medication question, will always gt the same answer. Tylenol. Its a blow-off. You have to talk to the doc, face-to-face. They're used to having to see patients on a monthly basis, to renew Rx's that can only be done with a visit. No call-ins allowed, for many of their Rx's.
