Victoria, we posted at the same time! Thanks so much for the info..maybe it wouldn't be a good choice with the bp issues. I had just discovered, also, that the tramadol affects blood pressure. Never had hypertension until the last 6-8 months, so I'm not used to thinking about it!

I'll talk to the doc about it...maybe my system's oversensitive to it with the stomach issues. Wonder if the ER would make a difference there.

Thanks again, though, for all the info and discussion!

Take care,
Donna
