I take Lexapro (20mg). So my combo is Lexapro, Tramadol and Lithium. I know a lot of people who take Lexapro w/ Tramadol. I'm sure most ADs are ok with it (as long as you keep the Tramadol dose low; I never take more than 100mg a day, usually it's 50mg). As you know, there's the risk of SS and seizure when combining Tramadol with an AD, but again, as long as you're cognizant and keep the dose low, I think you'll be fine.
I've always stuck with Lexapro because it was the most agreeable AD for me (more than any TCA, NRI or other SRIs). (And, it's pretty good for PMS symptoms ;)!) I would look around online and see what other people have taken with it.
Good luck!
