Hi Emilio,
I guess you are worried about a serotonin syndrome ?
Everyone may react differently with meds.
Apart from being a pain patient I am quite healthy (weight , don't smoke, not much alcohol, (some) excercise etc ..)
I take Ultram (2 (and occasionaly: 3) x 50 mg capsules per day) plus prozac (15 mg a day).
Two years ago I took Ultram together with 60 mg Cymbalta, later that year Ultram with up to 225 mg Effexor a day.
(I also have heard of/read about others combining an ssri and ultram.)
What does you doctor think about it?
The painspecialists I consulted don't seem to be worried at all about a serotonin syndrome or increased risk of seizures.
Amongst other things it helps considerably
against depressive moods.
My advise would be (not being a doctor): find a doctor who is not unsympathetic to prescribe it (though that might be difficult ...).
Good luckRobert
