Marty,
Why do you think this is a tolerance to tramadol and not a worsening of your pain? Just a question. Have you completely eliminated gluten? Do you think gluten was the cause of your PN? I have been on tramadol for just a few months, and I hadn't thought of eventually getting a tolerance to it. So thanks for this depressing info.  Ron |

Unfortunately, ALL opioids produce tolerance AND dependence eventually. Tramadol is slower than most for many people, but given enough time it is inevitable. It's just one of the risks that must be weighed against benefits for any/all medications of any kind. For many people in severe chronic pain, it's often of secondary concern. Doc

I think basically because tramadol works really well for me and just want to make sure it continues to well into the future. My pain would be much higher on days where I have allot of I have to do. No I'm no gluten free completely.
