You only need 2 Tramadol per day? If so, Your doctors still have lots of options as your disease progresses. For me, larger amounts are need in addition to an anti-seizure medication to greatly dull the pain.

@jimhd I love coffee 😭, and since you admitted your compulsive shoe habit, I will confess that I had a compulsive, very expensive Teavana habit until Starbucks ruined Teavana. I don't know if you have looked Tramadol up, and of course, with all the new special interest groups and political pressure they will make it sound worse, but I find it helps for some pain and not for others. It is not an opioid but is considered as the evil precursor to opioids and therefore addiction to other drugs. I have always been able to use it sparingly and never had any problem with addiction issues. It does not cause euphoria for me given all my other health issues. It is, however, still a controlled substance like the Clonazepam, and often they will limit the amount you are able to get at first until one of the gods of your insurance company or the government decides you are not an addiction risk. I will get off my soapbox now, but I have plenty more to say about this subject. Take care! Still trying to find out about those supposedly awesome shoes. 🤗

@jimhd If I understood you correctly you take Clonazepam. Tramadol is an opioid. Clonazepam and opioids can have side effects. I know someone who was taking Clonazepam and after a surgery the doctor prescribed them Percocet. Those two together incapacitated that individual. They didn't have enough strength to get into bed on their own or get up and go to the bathroom on their own. Once the Percocet wore off they were fine. So, be careful if you take Clonazepam with any opioid.
