Amitrityline 50mg 1 tab before bed mainly to help with sleep
Theses seem to be helping at lot! I think the main problem before was that the tramadol wasn't really helping the daily levels of pain as much as I needed to that my CRPS was more likely to go into a more major flare. Probably from the stress and muscle tension. I am sooo relieved to have some significant pain relief lol! I still take it easy and try not to over do it, meaning it still takes me and hour to do dishes or 4 hours to fold laundry. At least I have devised as way to get some of the minor housework done with out triggering a flare!!
Lets hope my current balance stays!!!

I'm glad that you have found something that works for you. It's also good that you are adjusting your daily activities and doing them differently so as not to overdo it. That, I think, can be one of the hardest things to adjust to. Finding different ways of accomplishing the same tasks can be a difficult and frustrating process but will be much better for you in the long run.
