Thanks Scott! And I think I'll at least double that, so I'll be in that state for a couple days where I get used to how I feel without it, so that that part is over.
I did broach tramadol with my new pdoc during our consult a couple weeks ago, in case it held any chemical clues to me that may translate to other meds that could work for me. But out of concern that he might jump to conclusions since he doesn't know me, I presented it as something I've taken for pain and then noticed made me feel and function better in other ways. But I think I will make it more clear next time. I do like all the cards to be on the table, just didn't want to raise any red flags right out of the gate, since in reality my nature is to use any potentially addictive drugs that I've had around for whatever purpose as conservatively as humanly possible, if at all.
I do hope he will agree that, during the two or so week period between any single-med trials that don't work, why not feel and function a little better during one of them, by taking the tram again. But I will do what he says.
Thanks again. :)
