I am a believer of the meds 'cocktail' and feel that the combination of the two are much more efficient than either one, alone.
Thanks. Since I found out that it was ok to take tramadol and neurontin at the same time, I am doing that. I noticed that if I added the neurontin, that the pain relief would not only last longer, but it seemed like it was more effective. After initially getting drowsy (on both), I seem to be back to normal pretty much. You all have been a big help here, believe me!
