Hi yxibow,
Thanks for your comment !
Regarding serotonin syndrome: I have read there is only one absolute restriction in combinations with MAOI's ... .
I discussed the possibility (prozac + tramadol) with the various doctors I have seen and a pharmacist but they think it is safe. One paindoctor said (what I don't understand bc as I understand SS can be lethal): if trouble arrises from this combo you can always go back to what you used before ... the damage is reversable .What do you mean by "that is also a concern in u(mu)-mediated forays by some doctors into fighting depression and pain"; what do mu receptors have to do with a serotonin syndrome ?
Do you have (sorry I didn't read all of your posts) a good (combo of) drug(s) now ?
Are you doing better ?
(I am still struggling ..)Best wishes,
Robert
> To add to the above there have been serious incidents with SS combining with SSRIs. Now this doesn't mean that one as an individual may experience this but that is also a concern in u(mu)-mediated forays by some doctors into fighting depression and pain and depression I imagine too.
