Lamictal is an antiseizure drug... it works by blocking pain signals in the spinal cord.
Tramadol is a centrally acting mu receptor blocker like opiates.
It is considered a "pain pill".
I use tramadol very lightly, and find it effective in small doses.
But people vary. Some people cannot metabolize it in the liver to its active metabolites, so for them it does not work well.
You'll just have to try and see. It can create a dependency in some and be difficult to wean off...but not in everyone.
