I was given tramadol though I am not sure if it was for the PN or RSD as they are treated similar. It did nothing for me but I was told by the neuro that it is better for nerve pain I guess. Though it does not seem like it from this little poll of people. I don't take any narcotic or opiates anymore and even my current pain doc won't due tramadol. I take zanaflex now at night sometimes. I have mixed reviews on it cause I am still up most nights.I am on meds for the anxiety/depression and meds like neurontin. I am coping better though still anxious but not as bad it seems and more rational. The pain though is high. I wish I had a better answer for you other then I think there needs to be a better way of you getting your meds Dew cause even worring about if this is going to keep happening is stressful. Hope you get answers and of course relief.

Thank You all for your input. I see my PM on 9/8/09, and hopefully the Tramadol issue can be put to bed.

Now, Gaze into the kitty's eyes...relax, take soft deep breaths...




Well, if it had of worked, all pain, anxiety, paranoia, depression, and other ailments would have vanished...did it work for you??? I love you all
