Initially, when Tramadol was marketed, it was said to not have the potential for 'dependence'.
As far as using it, it if works, I see no problem. Very little of what they offer us doesn't cause some kind of dependence issue, or major side effects. The only issue I see is the original poster is on 2 serotonergic drugs.

I'm on the 2 serotonergic drugs (Cymbalta and Pamelor) so that I can either drop back on the dosage of Neurontin or get off of the Cymbalta.

Tramadol is serotonergic as well.
Ultimately, I think a lot of us have tried a significant number of these medications, and really, none of them work totally. It's a personal journey to find what works 'somewhat' and doesn't cause you a lot of side effects. Some are luckier than others. The best I get to is feeling is, like I was run over by a truck....and the worst, wishing that truck had done me in. Neuropathy is vast in scope and on a continuum. It is a component of hundreds of diseases, and also a disease on it's own. The only issue I see, is the potential for more drugs to interact....versus using one or two that don't. My personal opinion is that serotonin is a bit over-rated. If some is good, more is not always better. It's pretty much like that with all drugs. It's not a judgment issue, it's no value attached. If serotonin works, great, if opiates work, fine. Like I said, I would eat raw yak liver, if it worked. I would hold my nose tho.

I have idiopathic pnp. I suspect it came about after I received a spinal while giving birth.The nurse had to jab me a couple of times to find the correct injection site.I have suffered from break through pain from over sensitive genital area touch. Please have any female members on this thread ever encountered this type of pain? Please don,t think I am pranking the thread; this is very real.Oh I was on tramadol and neurontin for a long while but my doctor took me off of the tramadol.I didnt have any bad experience with the tramadol, I believe my doctor was afraid I'd become addicted.
