I think 4 or 5 tramadol 200mg? a day is too much. When you get in that range you run the risk to side effects...some people may have seizures or other neuro effects. So I would discuss this dosing with your doctor ASAP.

I am still on vacation and have to be brief today. Will be back next weekend for more thorough postings.
